Immigration Dept: 138,901 illegal immigrants sent home under B4G programme as deadline looms

Saturday, 14 Dec 2019 03:38 PM MYT

PUTRAJAYA, Dec 14 ― A total 138,901 illegal immigrants have returned to their countries of origin voluntarily through the Back For Good programme as of December 12 since it was launched on August 1. Khairul Dzaimee said the sharp increase in those enlisting with the programme was due to the attitude of people waiting till the last minute to apply and hoping that the programme would be extended.

The B4G programme implemented in Peninsular Malaysia until December 31 is aimed at giving illegal immigrants who have committed offences under the Immigration Act 1959/63, the chance to return to their countries of origin according to stipulated requirements.
