LARUT: The government will review the issuance of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) cards to Rohingya refugees in the country, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

He said the study had to be done following the escape of hundreds of Rohingya detainees from the Sungai Bakap Immigration Detention Depot near Bandar Baharu, on Wednesday.

"We cannot provide space for them to easily enter the country without documents and immediately get UNHCR cards. It's something that's not right... that's why we take a firm stance, being a card holder doesn't mean they can live in our country and enter as they like," he said.

He spoke to reporters after handing over donations to 1,000 underprivileged people from the Larut parliamentary constituency at Dewan Astaka Batu Kurau, here, today.

In the 4.30am incident on Wednesday, 528 Rohingya detainees escaped from the depot following a riot.

During the escape, six detainees, including two children, were killed on the southbound side of the North-South Expressway (NSE) while trying to cross the highway near Jawi. – BERNAMA

Boloh loh!

U think these Rohinya prefer msia compare to western europe & Usa countries ah ??

To allow rohinya is allow them opportunity to earn & feed themselves at the same time to help msia economy loh!

As for them to simply nationalise n become msian citizens.....this usually applicable to risk of illegal immigrants like Phillipines & Indonesians loh!

No problem to legal workers mah! Msia have 6m legal foreign workers....non have this problem compare to illegal immigrants workers loh! Thus it is very important to give rohinya work permit so that it can be trace & monitor like any foreign workers mah!

Rohingya have 1 baby every year or even 2.2 babies in 2 years
Future estimated population of Rohingya will be easily above 100 million
and Rohingya will become the new Rulers of Malaysia , no worries

Many politicians comment are for selfish political miles, gains with no consideration of long term implication. i'm bit disappointed of short sighted from Pakatun on UNHCR card holders.
