KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 ― Malaysia could not deport ethnic Rohingya refugees being held here as no other country including Myanmar was willing to accept them, said Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.
In an interview with Sinar Harian, Khairul said this also meant the Rohingya would continue to see Malaysia as their number one destination when fleeing Myanmar.
“Since 2019, all Rohingya refugees who have been detained are being held at Immigration detention depots all across the country.
“There are currently 1,998 refugees in our detention depots right now,” he told Sinar Harian.
Khairul was responding to a report by Sinar Harian last friday on a Rohingya refugee who paid RM10,000 to an agent or syndicate to enter the country illegally.
On June 1, Khairul said that all Rohingya refugees held in detention depots will not be sent back to Myanmar as the country is reluctant to take them back.
He explained that even though they are undocumented migrants, Malaysia could not forcefully repatriate them if their home country of Myanmar refused to accept them back.

kt notes:
When Mahathir was DPM he had a scheme to get rid of unwanted refugees, at that time Chinese-Vietnamese making attempts to escape the communist regime there by sailing across the South China Sea to Malaysia.
Mahathir mentioned using the RMN ships to tow the refugee boats back out to sea or alternatively, to shoot them. After the World's outroar at his inhumane proposals, his aides averred he was misunderstood when he had said "to shoo them".
Would 'shoo' be a commonly used word of Malaysian Malays (Tunku Abdul Rahman and Tunku Aziz excepted)? Wakakaka.
I have a less inhumane proposal - let's send the Rohingyas to either the USA or Europe, especially the USA. The American Administration has shown its love for Uyghur Muslims so presumably it should also love Rohingya Muslims.
Yes, get the US Ambassador to make the arrangements.

ReplyDeleteThe United States Announces New Assistance to Respond to the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis
PRESS STATEMENT
ANTONY J. BLINKEN, SECRETARY OF STATE
MAY 18, 2021
At the launch of the 2021 Joint Response Plan for the Rohingya Humanitarian Crisis, the United States announced nearly $155 million in new assistance to sustain critical efforts to support Rohingya refugees and host communities in Bangladesh and internally displaced Rohingya and other affected people in Burma. Our assistance will help meet the immediate needs of the nearly 900,000 refugees in Bangladesh who fled from horrific violence in Burma’s Rakhine State, including women and children.
As the leading contributor of assistance in response to the Rohingya refugee crisis, the United States is helping to support the victims of atrocities and other vulnerable people in need. With this new funding, our total humanitarian aid for those affected by the crisis in Burma, Bangladesh, and elsewhere in the region since the brutal violence by the Burmese military in August 2017 is more than $1.3 billion, including more than $1.1 billion for programs inside Bangladesh. Given the tremendous funding needs for this crisis, we welcome the contributions that some member states have made to this humanitarian response in recent months. We encourage the broader international community to do more and urge other countries and stakeholders to contribute as well.
The United States recognizes the cost and responsibility that the response has placed on host countries, especially Bangladesh. We will continue to support all countries in the region that prioritize protection of Rohingya refugees. In the aftermath of the February 1 military coup and the brutal military crackdown in Burma, we remain committed to addressing the Rohingya crisis, recognizing that the coup leaders are many of the same individuals responsible for previous human rights abuses, including atrocities against Rohingya. We continue to work with international partners to support justice and accountability for all those responsible for the coup and human rights abuses.
We continue to advocate for the rights of Rohingya and urge their inclusion in discussions about their future. We also continue to underscore the need for unhindered humanitarian access to all people requiring assistance in Burma. We urge Bangladesh to take steps to protect refugees, particularly at this time of increased risk to them, and not create conditions that would force them to return to a country where they could face persecution and violence.
The United States is committed to promoting peace, security, and respect for the human rights and human dignity of all people in Burma, including Rohingya.

Global Fund Thanks the United States for US$3.5 Billion Emergency Investment to Fight COVID-19
GENEVA – The Global Fund applauds the U.S. government for approving US$3.5 billion in emergency funding for the Global Fund’s effort to fight the COVID-19 pandemic in low- and middle-income countries. This unprecedented support will rapidly accelerate the Global Fund’s response to the pandemic, which is critical to save lives and protect the gains our partnership has made against HIV, TB and malaria over the last two decades. In the last year, COVID-19 has caused widespread disruption to HIV, TB and malaria service delivery. The Global Fund’s COVID-19 response is mitigating the impact of the crisis on the three diseases, protecting health workers and reinforcing health systems.
The new funding will support low- and middle-income countries to rapidly expand testing capacity and ensure health care workers are adequately protected with personal protective equipment (PPE). The investment will support countries to contain the virus and its variants, ensure those infected have access to care and treatment (including adequate oxygen supplies) and prepare for successful vaccine delivery. It will save many lives, reduce suffering and help economies to reopen safely.
“We are tremendously thankful to the Biden-Harris Administration and to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for their long-standing and exceptional leadership in global health,” said Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund. “This bold support will save many lives and reinvigorate economies around the world. We are hopeful that other donors will follow the lead of the United States and use emergency funding to support efforts by the Global Fund and other ACT-Accelerator partners to fight COVID-19 and deliver health security for all.”
As one of the lead multilateral agencies working to procure and distribute COVID-19 tests, treatments and PPE to protect health workers, the Global Fund is an ideal partner for the United States in the global fight against COVID-19. The Global Fund’s deep experience in working with civil society, communities, faith leaders, the private sector and governments makes it responsive to local needs and enables it to deploy COVID-19 resources swiftly and effectively at scale worldwide. The Global Fund also has robust and long-standing partnerships with the U.S. State Department, USAID, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

DeleteLet me repeat Farting loudly is VERY different from actually doing!

cf: backlog funds/promised donations/contributions to UN in the tune of billions!
Ditto with promised Covax supports of vaccines & funds - promised but with zilch actual material present!
Truly Yankee asslicking myrmidon.
Once I read a report that $99 out of $100 the US donated or gave as aid went to funding the pay, travelling expenditure etc of its own US consultants, wakakaka
DeleteThe report is stated CLEARLY in the annual financial statement of the UN.
DeleteUncle Sam is still the biggest mouth in sounding contribution & yet the biggest UN debtor with lousy payment records.
Meanwhile all those on time dues/donations/pledges from other nations r used to cover the huge management expenses of the UN staffs, majority of them r American citizen!
I also read that all Belt and Road projects are on the condition that major works must be awarded to Chinese construction companies and funded by huge and often unsustainable loans given by Chinese banks.
DeleteU read them from lies leaking out from that fart filled well!
DeleteOoop… have u read that the demoNcratic G7 is creating an international project entity modelled under the B&R initiative?
Mmmm… wandering whether major works must be awarded to the respective contributing nations if a project is been awarded!
First of all, as a self-proclaimed champion of the Green Ummah, Green Zombie Malaysia should be at the forefront of aiding the Rohingyahs.
ReplyDeleteIt is an objective fact that USA has taken in hundreds of thousands of Muslim refugees, even the Trump years did not totally shut off the flow.
No need for Yank hater Ktemoc to lecture the Yanks.
"the Trump years did not totally shut off the flow"
DeleteWow!
U read news?
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/27/us/politics/trump-syrian-refugees.amp.html
Trump bars door to refugees, visitors from seven mainly Muslim nations.
Ooop… from that fart filled well!
Lies after lies from a shameless Yankee asslicker!
My precise words ..."even the Trump years did not totally shut off the flow", which is an objective fact,
DeleteI know very well CCP arse-licker scum like you don't deal in facts, you guys only know CCP-propaganda.
https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/10/07/key-facts-about-refugees-to-the-u-s/
fiscal 2019. D.R. Congo accounted for nearly 13,000 refugees, followed by Burma (Myanmar) with about 4,900, then Ukraine (4,500), Eritrea (1,800) and Afghanistan (1,200).
Most of those fleeing Myanmar were Muslims,......Eritrea and Afghanistan are overwhelmingly Muslim countries.
Wakakakakaka…
DeleteU displaying with yr fluid England le, after been caught with propagating lies!
What trump had signed as the executive order has not been revolted by biden!
What that means is the banning stays!
Blurred mfer, check first who's pewresearch before u fart lah!
Lies dress up with lies r still lies. Meanwhile the propagator turns laughing pumpkin!
Every morning Ktemoc wakes up in a country that is extremely closely allied to his hated Yanks (4 Eyes), whose primary social structure (White , Anglo-Saxon) and Government structure (Liberal Western capitalist democracy) he abhors.
ReplyDeleteI still wonder why he hasn't moved to Shanghai or Beijing yet.
Monster is the sort of person I've had the misfortune to meet in my past, raja kerbau, batu api, instigator, mischievous badmouth-er, who uses my arse as his mouth, to speak ill of my thoughts, intent and aspiration - in the end he is just an asshole (using my ass), wakakaka

ReplyDeleteWhat happened to all those 'islamic' countries?
Ummah Islam?
What a fart to entice the zombies!
Here's what the CCP lovers/ arse lickers don't want you to know.
ReplyDeleteSuper Rich People's Republic of China, world's largest trade surplus, world's largest currency reserves..... their contribution to alleviating the world's refugee crisis is 0.000 %
U really don't know how to lie!
Delete"CCP lovers/ arse lickers don't want you to know"
!!??
How do u know then?
Kiss the ass of the CCP lovers/ arse lickers for that infos!
Old moneyed mfer, obviously u know fart about how to resolve the refugee crisis!
DeleteHaven't u realised that uncle Sam is the world's top shit-stirrer in initiated/helped/persisted refugee crisis?
Singlehandedly, either openly &/or backdoor manipulatively, he has created most of the refugee crisis the world is facing now!
China's contribution to alleviating the refugee crisis is having no role in creating any situations where refugee crisis could be raised anywhere in the world!
So, yr truly know-nothing fart about how to solve refugee crisis is to look for solution after it has been created!
What an aneh-ised pariah!
