Govt needs to do better by refugees, says Umno VP


JOHOR BARU: New refugees should be registered with the relevant United Nations (UN) body and allowed to work, says Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

He said allowing them to register with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will provide them with identification documents that will give them freedom, including the freedom to work.
