The health ministry has decided to house illegal immigrants at the MAEPs centre in Serdang, Seri Kembangan, as it has a better security system in place.
This comes after one of the undocumented migrants, a 26-year-old Bangladeshi, under treatment, attempted to escape this morning despite being handcuffed in his ward at Hospital Sungai Buloh. He said the ministry will transfer all 26 of them to MAEPS, which was supposed to be a low-risk treatment centre as it already had a security system in place.
“Now, he’s back in the ward. We are investigating how he escaped from the ward,” he said at the ministry’s daily press conference here today.
