The incident came to light when the 32-year-old woman told her sister, 28, about her ordeal. However, immigration officers raided the centre at 11pm.
The following day, the five were brought to the Machap Umboo immigration depot.
"We each had our statements recorded separately. My sister was the first to enter the questioning room.
"She spent about 15 minutes in there. When she came out, she appeared furious.
She claimed her sister told her that the immigration officer had demanded a massage, and then forced himself on her without a condom. He also forced her to perform oral sex on him.
"I was eventually released after I showed proof that I had valid documents," added the woman, who is married to a Malaysian.
Furious over the sexual assault against her sister, the housewife lodged a report at the Melaka Tengah police station.
State Immigration director Mohd Fauzi Abdullah, who was also contacted for clarification, declined to comment, adding that the allegation was being investigated.
