KUALA LUMPUR: The expansion of the Baitul Mahabbah programme under the Malaysian Immigration Department can boost the country’s image on the world stage in efforts to safeguard the rights of foreign children, says Datuk Ruslin Jusoh.

The Immigration director-general said that the establishment of three more Baitul Mahabbah shelters reflected the government’s concern for the commitment of the Home Ministry and Immigration in ensuring the welfare of foreign children at depots was always protected.
