PETALING JAYA: More than 100 Malaysians working for syndicates in Cambodia have been rescued by the Malaysian embassy there since 2018, says Malaysian Ambassador to Cambodia Eldeen Husaini Mohd Hashim.
It has not been an easy feat as the embassy also had to go through procedures set by the Cambodian government before these Malaysians could be flown home.Some of the Malaysians had refused to be rescued or leave Cambodia.
“We are trying very hard to get them out but all have their own specific case,” Eldeen said, noting that frustrated parents tend to take their grievances to MPs, state representatives or the press without grasping the situation. “Some of the Malaysians came to Cambodia illegally via lorong tikus and were without travel documents.
The Emergency Certificate is issued to Malaysians holding an expired, lost passport or a passport validity less than six months to return to Malaysia one way. “It would also depend if the authorities suspect the person is a ringleader and if they have criminal records,” said Eldeen.
