Imigresen tak boleh ambil tindakan terhadap Rohingya ada kad UNHCR
Pemegang kad itu bukan Pati dan tidak tertakluk kepada kesalahan tinggal lebih masa atau tiada dokumen perjalanan dan pas yang sah.
Malaysian Immigration Department chief Zakaria Shaaban has clarified that Rohingya people holding UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) passports are still subject to other laws enforced by different agencies. Rohingya are not classified as unauthorized migrants (Pati), but they are still bound by other legal regulations, which are enforced by other governing bodies.
Zakaria explained that Rohingya with UNHCR passports cannot be taken action against for immigration offenses such as overstaying or lacking valid travel documents. However, they still fall under the jurisdiction of other laws enforced by different authorities, he said to The Star.
He advised the public not to take any action themselves regarding Pati, instead forwarding information to immigration authorities for investigation. The powers of the Immigration Department are based on allegations, risk, and public information. All information and allegations received will be investigated. Nonetheless, he cautioned that the public should not take any action on their own, but rather report any information to the authorities.
