He said it was challenging to arrange their deportation as many countries were not ready to accept the return of their citizens.He added that many countries were using the Covid-19 pandemic as an excuse to delay these deportations. “Due to the risk of Covid-19, many countries refuse to accept their citizens even though Malaysia has been very successful in fighting the pandemic.”
