Nay Pyi Taw, 11 Nov—Representatives from Hluttaw Affairs Committee of Amyotha Hluttaw (Upper House) presented its report on security measures for Myanmar immigrants in Malaysia, who are being killed in clashes. The report said that Myanmar delegation led by Myanmar ambassador to Malaysia, military attaché and deputy counselor has discussed the matter to protect Myanmar migrant workers in Malaysia on 10 July 2014, asking for protection on Myanmar migrant workers and investigations on the murder cases. It also said that although the three ministries of Myanmar tried to bring back undocumented Myanmar migrants since 27 December 2013 with the formation of a committee at the Myanmar embassy in Malaysia, few of them contacted it. The report also mentioned that in many accidents Malaysian police could not file the cases though they found the suspects in murder cases due to the lack of concrete evidences, delaying to hand over the cases to the respective courts; in some cases, witnesses dare not give their statements to the courts, causing to close the cases. It also said that Myanmar embassy there has some limitations on resolving the problems of illegal migrants there in accordance with Malaysian laws. Between 2012 and September 2014, police forces of Myanmar and Malaysia worked together on investigations of 21 criminal cases. The report also suggested Myanmar migrant workers in Malaysia to take care themselves when moving around outside by observing the existing laws, and the establishment of a mutual legal assistance mechanism to help investigate on the criminal cases concerned with both countries. During its 28th day session of Amyotha Hluttaw on 11 November, the parliamentarians also discussed housing projects for the homeless, which has been handed over to the Yangon City Development Committee by the Department of Human Settlement and Housing Development.
