National Security Council DG Rodzi Md Saad has proposed to shut down the UNHCR office in Malaysia.

Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin announced that the federal government had approved the use of the Tracking Refugees Information System (TRIS) on July 22, adding that all refugees had to register on the system to “identify the whereabouts of refugees and their reporting in the country”.

Home minister says all refugees with UNHCR cards must register with its TRIS system, but refugees worry about the risk.

3. "As there is no reference to our authorities before a decision is made, it is like an act of disrespect to our country," Rodzi added.

He also says Malaysia should not be made attractive for foreigners to come and stay illegally.
