Photos of these documents will not be accepted, he said in response to complaints by foreign students of being victimised by authorities.“All enforcement agencies including the police have been informed of this,” he said, adding that legitimate foreign students, who have been detained despite showing their iKad, should report the matter to the department.
Malaysian Association of Private Colleges and Universities president Datuk Dr Parmjit Singh said a 30-year-old student from Botswana was picked up recently. Her passport was with the Education Malaysia Global Services , a wholly-owned company of the Education Ministry, for visa endorsement and her iKad had yet to be issued.“Because she couldn’t produce the passport, she was taken away in a truck with many others in it. The truck went to numerous locations before arriving at the police station in KL two hours later.He said student was only released about seven hours later despite her university handing over all the relevant documents.
“All the students have is a photocopy of their passport and receipt from EMGS stating the passport has been submitted to them,” he said.
This tragedy has tarnished our reputation and will definitely hurt the education business. Imigresen should NOT be allowed to conduct raids if they are not equipped to verify documents instantly on-site. The archaic SOP should be discarded.
