Isu pelarian: Sebarang tindakan dilaksana secara teratur, bertanggungjawab, kata Fahmi

Malaysian Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil stated that any action concerning the return of Myanmar deportees to their home country will be carried out regularly, responsibly, and in accordance with the law. This was discussed during his meeting with the Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) today to exchange views and gather feedback on the issue of managing Myanmar deportees.

The discussion covered matters such as the return of Myanmar deportees, including the procedures and safety aspects, as well as the humanitarian concerns that Suhakam urged to be addressed. Fahmi expressed gratitude to Suhakam Chairperson Hishamudin Mohd Yunus and his delegation for their reception of him and their delegation in the aforementioned meeting.

On September 29, Malaysia launched the first phase of a program to return approximately 1,500 Myanmar nationals, a portion of the 5,000 individuals who have voluntarily agreed to return from the detention center. The government is taking into account public concerns regarding the management of foreign nationals, including safety aspects, public security, and immigration detention, ensuring that each action is carried out in accordance with the law and established procedures.
