Pilot programmes in Johor and Penang will provide essential services to 12,000, mostly Rohingya refugees from Myanmar. FMTNews UNHCR Refugees

Registered refugees in Penang and Johor will no longer have to travel to Kuala Lumpur for services such as card renewal.

The partnership between Agility and UNHCR, announced at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, will establish pilot programmes in Johor and Penang. There are about 178,000 refugees registered with UNHCR in Malaysia. The partnership will allow UNHCR to extend support to more than 12,000 of them in the two states, the majority of whom are Rohingya from Myanmar.

“UNHCR’s services are critical to giving refugees and families a safe place in times of turmoil,” Agility CEO Tarek Sultan said.
