MANJUNG: The Home Ministry is yet to finalize details for the upcoming phases of repatriating 5,000 Myanmar detainees from Malaysia, according to an announcement made today. Deputy Secretary-General (Policy and Control) Datuk Makhzan Mahyuddin stated that the subsequent phases' dates and numbers are still under preparation, as several factors such as security, logistics, and bilateral consent are being finalized.
The government acknowledges public concerns about the management of foreigners, focusing on security, public order, and immigration detention management. The repatriation program aims to ensure a more organized handling of foreign immigration detainees and is being carried out in tandem with the Refugee Registration Document (DPP) initiative.
The government must first identify individuals willing to return and then verify their details before coordinating with the Myanmar government for secure logistics.
