KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has extended a temporary stay order on the deportation of 114 Myanmar refugees back to their homeland.

Justice Mariana Yahya allowed the extension pending its decision on an application for leave to initiate judicial review filed by two NGOs – Asylum Access Bhd and Aimal Sdn Bhd – in their bid to stop the deportation of the refugees.
