Old Folk Home Which Accommodated Illegals Should Be Hauled Up - Khalid


SHAH ALAM, Nov 16 (Bernama) -- Action should be taken against the old folk home which rented rooms to illegal immigrants, Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said.

Action was necessary as welfare homes in Selangor pay quit rent of only RM1 annually, he said in reply to a supplementary question by Datuk Mohd Shamsudin Lias (BN- Sungai Burong).

"We can act if it is true. There is a lot of request for welfare homes," he said during question and reply session in the state assembly here Monday.

An integrated operation by Ampang Jaya Muncipal Council, Rela, Imigration and Registration Department yesterday found 15 illegal immigrants sleeping in the old folk home at Kampung Ampang Indah.

Khalid told Dr Shafie Abu Bakar (PAS-Bangi) that 36 welfare homes given grants by the Welfare Services Department had 2,000 inmates while 38 homes under the supervision of Selangor Zakat Board had more than 1,000 inmates.
