NGO demands immediate release of two toddlers being held at Immigration detention centre


PETALING JAYA: Two undocumented Filipino toddlers under the age of two are being held at the Bukit Jalil Immigration detention centre since June 14 despite intervention from the Philippine Embassy and the Malaysian government, claimed a non-governmental organisation.

Calling for their immediate release, Tenaganita executive director Glorene A. Das (pic) said the toddlers were detained during an immigration raid at the Plaza Indah apartment in Kajang on the night of June 14, where they were being watched over by a relative as their mothers were not home, said Glorene.
