BUKIT MERTAJAM: Many factors have to be taken into account in deciding whether dedicated camps for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) cardholders should be set up, says Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

The government needed to look into matters such as the location, infrastructure and costs of opening and running such camps, he noted.
