Urimai chairman P Ramasamy slammed home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail for passing the buck to UNHCR, saying the root cause runs much deeper.PETALING JAYA: Former Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy has hit out at home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail for claiming that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the "root cause" of Malaysia's struggle to manage the refugee community.
Ramasamy said while UNHCR's online application system might be a problem, it was not the primary cause of Malaysia's difficulties with regard to refugees.
"The true problem is the absence of a broader national legal and administrative framework to manage refugees and asylum seekers effectively.
