Advice for UNHCR card holders regarding the “6P” programme announced by the Government of Malaysia

[ZIRC]

The “6P” programme is a proposed system to manage migrants in general in Malaysia. There have been media announcements that refugees could be affected by this, and UNHCR is liaising with the Government of Malaysia on any areas that could affect refugees, and will continue to be involved in any issues related to the protection of refugees in this regard.

 

However, at this time, UNHCR advises all UNHCR card holders to wait further information and instruction from UNHCR on the "6P" programme. UNHCR will not assign any companies or agents to speak to refugees on our behalf, and we will not assign any companies or agents to collect money from refugees on our behalf. All services provided by UNHCR for refugees are free. Therefore, do not make payments to any companies or agents claiming to be involved in the “6P” programme, and do not directly approach any agencies at this time to register under the “6P” programme. 

 

 Should you have further questions or concerns contact UNHCR directly.
