Immigration D-G: Detainees treated humanely, fed proper food


Immigration director-general Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the department was in the process of procuring the IIS system, where the tender for the system was opened to vendors last May and would be closed in August.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Immigration Department has refuted allegations that detainees were placed in inhumane conditions and fed with “stale and burnt food good for swines”.

This follows such claims by former Filipino detainees whose children were also held for nearly three weeks.
