KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said there are cases of foreign men willing to marry older women so that they can stay on and operate their business in Sabah.  She said the authorities would look into such cases.

“We will look into these cases. Subject to the conditions of the pass and permit held by the foreigner. If they violate any of the Immigration Department conditions, action will be taken against them,” she said.

Sabah Immigration Department director Datuk Musa Sulaiman said that Pakistani nationals who came to Sabah were willing to marry older women, some of whom were grandmothers, simply to obtain the social visit pass for foreign spouses so that they could remain in the country for a longer time and carry out their business.
