So far, 214 Myanmar citizens from camps around Malaysia have received paid trips home, according to U San Win, chair of the Kepong Free Funeral Services, including 62 in the first group, 84 in the second and 68 in the third. A further 120 paid for their own airfare.
The repatriations began on July 13, and U San Win added that the returns will continue so long as donations are maintained.
“Now, we have funding for over 250 people to return. We already handed over the funds to the embassy so officials could arrange the trip,” said U San Win. He added that the embassy had determined which of the detained citizens to repatriate. (Courtesy of mmtimes.com)
