There have been no deaths due to lack of care at detention centres nationwide although several migrants have succumbed to pre-existing illnesses, Deputy Home Minister Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed, said yesterday.
He said those detained received proper medical care despite allegations to the contrary by illegal Myanmar nationals who returned home recently.
He said detention centres were not meant to be “too comfortable” but were designed to humanely detain those without valid documents.
“Detention centres in the country are fit for service and adequately equipped for illegal migrants,’’ he said. (Courtesy of themalaymailonline.com)
