NGO: Immigration Dept detaining undocumented Filipino babies for nearly three weeks

Tenaganita executive director Glorene Dass said that the lack of communication and coordination between the different units in the Immigration Department, either intentionally or because of internal procedures, is distressing.— Picture by Yusof Mat Isa

“Tenaganita is dismayed that the Immigration Department is continuing to hold two Filipino babies below the age of two at the Bukit Jalil Immigration Detention Centre, since June 14, 2019 despite the interventions of the Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines and the office of Hannah Yeoh, from the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development.

Glorene said that Tenaganita has also been reliably informed that the embassy is ready to provide the travel documents once the deportation papers for the babies have been received from the Malaysian Immigration Department. “Despite repeated inquiries by the mothers and the attorney appointed by the embassy, the Bukit Jalil Immigration Detention Centre has maintained that they have no knowledge of the deportation order, and are still awaiting instructions from Putrajaya.
