Two Singaporeans were among 111 people deported from Malaysia upon completion of their detention.
In a Facebook post on Monday (Nov 24), the Immigration Department of Malaysia (JIM) in Johor said that 111 people of various nationalities were deported from Pekan Nanas Immigration Detention Centre to their countries of origin.
“Among those deported are 49 Bangladeshis, 24 Indonesians, 12 Nepalese, nine Pakistanis, four Cambodians, four Indians, three Chinese, and two detainees [each] from Laos, Vietnam and Singapore,” JIM said.
According to the department, the detention centre regularly carries out deportation to ensure that there is no backlog of detainees who have completed their sentences and are still staying in the country.
