KUALA LUMPUR, March 29 — The Sabah Immigration Department has deported a total of 9,938 undocumented immigrants from four detention depots in the state to their countries of origin in the period from 2021 to March 27.
“The Home Ministry is stepping up efforts to deport detainees to their countries of origin by holding regular negotiations with the Philippine and Indonesian embassies to speed up the process of repatriating detainees to their countries of origin,” he said during the question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today.
Shamsul Anuar said Sabah Immigration Department statistics up to March 27 showed that there were 4,655 undocumented immigrants detained at four immigration depots in Sabah, namely in Papar, Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan and Tawau.
