Kuala lumpur: The relocation of 121 Rohingya individuals from a temporary settlement at the former Penaga tsunami site was conducted voluntarily, with coordination from several government agencies to ensure public safety and order, according to Seberang Perai Utara police chief ACP Anuar Abdul Rahman. The group traveled to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Kuala Lumpur, following economic pressures and competition for residential space due to the increasing Rohingya population at the site.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the relocation was facilitated with the help of the National Unity and Integration Department (JPNIN), the state government, the National Security Council (MKN), local community representatives, and Rohingya representatives. The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) monitored the process to maintain public safety and order. Anuar urged the public to refrain from sensationalizing the issue, which could jeopardize public safety.

Media reports indicated that hundreds of Rohingya refugees gathered outside the UNHCR office in Jalan Bukit Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, after arriving on three buses from Penang. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim commented that the government would not tolerate any actions by refugee groups that disrupt public order or attempt to take control of areas within the country. Enforcement agencies, including the PDRM, Immigration Department, and local authorities, have been directed to take firm action against any law violations.
