Malaysia’s Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN) does not plan to follow the United States in its policy of deporting illegal immigrants to their countries of origin as a new tougher policy to stem the influx of foreigners into the country.
Malaymail reports that Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said this was because KDN is constantly improving procedures for controlling and enforcing immigration regulations to control illegal immigration in the country.
“Among the improvements that this ministry has and is currently implementing together with its agencies include control before entry into the country and the use of technology in controlling the country’s entry points.
“In addition, we are also implementing control on the presence of illegal immigrants in the country with enforcement operations,” he said during a question and answer session at the Dewan Negara today.
He was answering a question posed to him by Senator Azahar Hassan who wanted to know whether the ministry planned to follow the United States in its policy of deporting illegal immigrants to their countries of origin as a new, tougher policy to ensure that the issue of overflowing foreigners in the country can be resolved.
