Selangor waits for Putrajaya to register Myanmar refugees before deciding next steps

The Selangor government is awaiting the Home Ministry’s registration of Myanmar refugees and stateless individuals under the Refugee Registration Document (DPP) before deciding on further measures to manage the community in the state. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari stated that the state government is currently compiling data on the community at the district level to be submitted to the Home Ministry, enabling follow-up action to be taken with relevant agencies and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

The data is being compiled through the District Security Committees, with Hulu Langat already having completed its data compilation. Amirudin emphasized that the matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Home Ministry, and the state government does not have the authority to issue licenses or permits to the community to carry out certain activities.
