Malaysia to issue IC's
05:55 AM Feb 02, 2010
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia plans to issue identification cards to refugees who are recognised by the United Nations, allowing them to stay in the country temporarily and avoid being arrested as illegal immigrants.

Malaysia, which has declined to join the UN convention on refugees for fear of attracting a flood of migrants, has frequently arrested refugees as illegal aliens.

Mostly from Myanmar, the refugees often spent months in overcrowded detention centres and faced caning and deportation.

The plans announced yesterday reflect a softening of Malaysia's position toward the refugees, although it continues to refuse them official recognition.

Home Ministry Secretary-General Mahmood Adam said the government would work with the UN refugee agency to issue the identification cards so that immigration enforcement personnel would recognise and spare UN-designated refugees.

"As long as they are recognised as refugees by the UN, they can stay here temporarily," he said.

"They cannot work here, but they can do odd jobs."

He could not give an exact timeline but said the initiative was in the "final stage".

According to the UN, there are about 75,600 refugees and asylum-seekers in Malaysia. Most fled persecution in Myanmar.

All of the refugees in Malaysia are waiting to be resettled to a third country that officially accepts refugees, which grants them legal status and the right to work. AP
