History
The team was formed to raise the capability and ability of the Immigration Department of Malaysia, in conducting high-risk raids and very tough special operation. The unit was officially established in January 2014 as a part of Immigration Department of Malaysia.
The state of Negeri Sembilan became the team's location. The first Commanding Officer of this team is Faizal Fazri Othman, who is also The Immigration Director of Negeri Sembilan State, and the first Operation Leader of the team is Roslan Bin Mat Sahad. The other operators are not revealed to the public.[1]
However, The Special Tactical Group was succeeded by the Special Tactical Team of the Immigration Department, known as PASTAK, on February 13, 2018.
Operations
GTK is deployed in a high-risk, special operation where a 'special capability' is needed, or the task are unable to be executed by a normal operation unit of the department due to the complexity of the operation. GTK are operational for up to 10 days in any location in Malaysia in any geographical structure.
Thus, the main focus of the team are fighting well-organised syndicates related to the Immigration Act 1959/63, Anti Trafficking in Person and Anti Smuggling of Migrants Act (ATIPSOM 2007), Passport Act 1966, and other transnational/transborder crime syndicates.[2][3][4][5]
