PETALING JAYA: The government must give its assurance that undocumented migrant workers and refugees going for their Covid-19 vaccinations will not be detained by the authorities, several groups have said.
Migrants rights groups and the Indonesian Embassy sought a guarantee from the authorities that undocumented migrants would not be arrested from Aug 1, with those in the Klang Valley allowed to walk in to any Covid-19 vaccination centre to get their jabs.
They said the migrants were willing to be vaccinated but were afraid of being apprehended by the authorities.

‘Grant UNHCR access to detention centres’ 25 Feb 2021 / 10:58 H.
PETALING JAYA: It is important for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) be granted access to all detention centres in determining asylum-seekers and refugees, said activists.
In making the call, Amnesty International Malaysia (AIM) and Asylum Access Malaysia (AAM) said this will prevent individuals from being deported.
They were referring to 1,086 individuals sent back to their homeland on Myanmar navy ships on Tuesday.
The individuals were part of the 1,200 people which AIM and AAM had filed a joint judicial review on Tuesday.
“We know people on the (deported) list are under asylum,” AIM executive director Katrina Jorene Maliamauv said in a virtual news conference yesterday.
