Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin told the Dewan Rakyat that his ministry is in talks with the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry to look for an alternative to detaining the children along with their illegal immigrant parents. In a supplementary question, Maria asked if Malaysia will follow the footsteps of nations such as Indonesia and Singapore where the children of detainees are sent to shelters instead of being placed in the immigration depot or holding facilities.“However, the crux of the matter is that we have agreed to allocate a large budget for each [child] detainee and place them in the care of the Women’s Ministry as they have experts on childcare,” he said.
He noted that though the children’s mother has a valid visa, she was not around at the time of the detention and the toddlers were in the care of relatives with dubious travel documents.
