Imigresen tak boleh ambil tindakan terhadap Rohingya ada kad UNHCR

Malaysian immigration officials have clarified that Rohingya people holding UNHCR refugee cards are still subject to other laws enforced by various agencies, according to Imigresen chief Zakaria Shaaban. These Rohingya individuals are not classified as illegal immigrants (Pati), but they remain bound by other legal regulations. Zakaria explained that Rohingya possessing UNHCR cards are not subject to action for immigration offenses such as overstaying or lacking valid travel documents.

However, they still fall under the jurisdiction of other enforcing agencies, he stated to The Star. The official advised the public not to take unilateral action against the Pati, instead forwarding information to immigration authorities for investigation. The power of immigration enforcement lies in allegations, risk assessments, and public information.

All received information and reports will be examined. Yet, he cautioned the public against taking independent action and instead submitting any relevant information to the authorities.
