Ministry mulls setting up resettlement village for UNHCR refugees, says Zuraida


PETALING JAYA (Bernama): The Housing and Local Government Ministry is studying the idea of setting up a resettlement village to regroup refugees registered under the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) who are scattered all over the country, says its Minister.

Speaking to Bernama, Zuraida Kamaruddin said the move would not only facilitate the monitoring of existing refugees, especially the Rohingyas, but at the same time, it would enable the community to have access to healthcare and education.
