KUALA LUMPUR: The Immigration Department will not interfere in the vaccination programme for migrants nor station its officials near the Covid-19 vaccination sites, said Immigration Department director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud.
He made this promise to ensure a safe passage for foreigners in a WhatsApp message to Bernama.
Walk-ins for those facing barriers to vaccines such as irregular migrants and refugees are set to begin tomorrow in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, but whether it succeeds is still a question.
Vaccinating millions of irregular migrants in Malaysia remains part of the country’s plan to gain control over Covid-19 within its borders.

The Namibian government has rejected the African Union Commission’s decision to grant Israel observer status in the African Union (AU).
After nearly 20 years of diplomatic efforts, Israel attained observer status at the AU when Israeli ambassador to Ethiopia Aleli Admasu last week presented his credentials to Moussa Faki Mahamat, chairman of the African Union Commission.
Namibia’s position was made public by international relations minister Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah yesterday during a telephonic interview with Namibian Sun, in which she also said that member states were not consulted.
Namibia has over the years consistently criticised Israel’s conduct towards Palestine, accusing it of “illegally” occupying the latter in defiance to international protocols.
