Migrants clear of Covid-19

PETALING JAYA: The government has given a clean bill of health to migrants detained in an immigration swoop on two enhanced movement control order (MCO) areas in Kuala Lumpur on Labour Day and insisted the raids were not done to be cruel.

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob (pic) defended the government’s move to round up 586 undocumented migrants in Menara City One and two other flats – Selangor Mansion and Malayan Mansion in Jalan Masjid India – adding that it was carried out for the well-being of the residents to ensure that they were all free from Covid-19.
