THE Malaysian government is detaining about 12,000 migrants and refugees, including 1,400 children, in conditions that put them at serious risk of physical abuse and psychological harm, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.
The Immigration Department is still hunting for the remaining 30 undocumented migrants still at large after escaping from the Bidor Immigration Detention Depot in Perak on February 1.
Perak police chief Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said roadblocks would also continue at seven locations covering the districts of Tapah, Kampar, Muallim and Hilir Perak to ensure those still at large cannot escape the police dragnet.
Failing to do so can result in legal action including blacklisting, which awaits errant agents and employers, he said. He added that this is also to deter irresponsible agents and employers from exceeding their hiring quotas.
