With job scams leaving hundreds of migrant workers stranded in Malaysia, is it time for a complete overhaul of the system to better protect these workers and hold syndicates accountable?

Malaysian immigration authorities have been accused of causing the deaths of 149 Indonesian nationals who were subjected to allegedly brutal conditions in detention centres in Tawau, Sabah.

After recording three digits for two consecutive days, the number of new Covid-19 cases has dropped to 15, revealed Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

This is due to the majority of cases in the immigration detention centres having been detected and isolated.

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said it is wrong to accuse the government of treating undocumented migrants in an inhumane manner.

Malaysia recorded 187 new Covid-19 cases in the 24-hour period up to noon today, the bulk of which was found at the Bukit Jalil Immigration Detention Depot.

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the government will now focus on deporting all undocumented migrants at immigration detention centres nationwide who have tested negative for Covid-19.

Refugee and undocumented migrant protection is essential in Malaysia's combat against COVID-19, otherwise it will impede Malaysia's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and endanger Malaysians as well.

The government is considering to issue temporary work permits to illegal foreign workers in the country to overcome the shortage of foreign workers in the oil palm and rubber industries.

The Republican presidential hopeful's uncompromising position on undocumented migrants is inextricably linked to his meteoric political rise.
