The initiative was always part of the government’s plan, he said. “I have been engaging with all agencies since the day I stepped in the home ministry’s office,” he told reporters when met outside Dewan Rakyat.The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia had recently expressed concern about the welfare of 36 children housed at the Lenggeng depot in Negeri Sembilan. The children were among 67 Indonesian migrants rounded up in a raid on an illegal settlement in Nilai Spring on Feb 1.
Meanwhile, immigration director-general Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the Indonesian migrants detained in the raid had wanted to remain in Malaysia without valid documents. “They had no intention of returning to their country of origin and wanted to remain in Malaysia,” he said.
