KUALA LUMPUR, June 27 (dpa): Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakov said on Friday that Malaysia will send 5,280 illegal immigrants back to the Philippines, which is dealing with a severe Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.
The deportations will start on June 30, Ismail Sabri said during a press conference, and follow similar moves to send migrants back to Indonesia, where around 1,000 cases have been diagnosed each day this week.
