PETALING JAYA: No holders of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) cards or those from the Rohingya ethnic group will be sent home in the upcoming repatriation programme, says Immigration director-general, Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.

"The Immigration Department refers to various media reports regarding the repatriation programme on Feb 23 using Myanmar Navy boats.

"No holders of UNHCR cards or Rohingya will be involved in this programme. This is a part of the regular repatriation exercises carried out by Immigration depots," he said in a statement on Monday (Feb 15). 

He added that those being sent back had offences such as not having identification documents, overstaying, and improper use of travel passes.

"From Jan 1 to Dec 31 last year, we repatriated 37,038 foreigners, including 17,002 Indonesians and 5,450 Bangladesh nationals. In 2019, we repatriated 59,114.


"The huge difference in number is attributed to the Covid-19 pandemic. Most countries have closed their borders and reduced air and sea travel," he said.

The statement added that the department thanked the Myanmar Embassy in Kuala Lumpur for helping in the programme to repatriate its citizens.
