SIK: Peering from the guardhouse into the grounds of the Immigration Detention Centre in Belantik, some 35km from here, there were no visible signs of any of the 1,158 Rohingyas and Bangladeshis who had been moved there over the past few days.
A check by The Star found only Immigration Department personnel and kitchen staff occasionally passing through the gates, and the whole place was under tight security. Several buildings could be seen in the distance but there was no activity outside them.
