BUTTERWORTH, Dec 30 — Two women, including a minor, and a male Myanmar national were jointly charged at the Sessions Court here today with migrant smuggling earlier this month, while another individual linked to the case remains at large.

The accused, Umi Kalsom Abidin, 29, and a 17-year-old girl, pleaded not guilty after the charge was read to them before Judge Roslan Hamid. No charge was read to the foreign national, Kyaw Zin Lin, 19, as the court did not have an interpreter.
