A chance for illegals to go home


PUTRAJAYA: Some 600,000 undocumented foreign workers who are not involved in the Workforce Recalibration Programme (WRP) have been urged to take the opportunity to return to their home country through the Migrant Repatriation Programme, which kicked off yesterday.

Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said they have been given the chance until the end of this year to return to their country of origin without being subjected to legal action, except for compounds for some offences under the Immigration Act.
