KDN says 199 index crimes linked to Myanmar refugees, Selangor highest with 58 cases

Between 2022 and August 2026, Selangor reported the highest number of index crime cases involving Rohingya refugees in Malaysia, with 58 cases, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs.

Nationwide, 199 such cases were recorded, with Kedah, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur also seeing significant numbers.

The government has launched the Refugee Registration Document Programme to strengthen data management and reduce reliance on UNHCR, while ongoing enforcement operations have led to significant arrests of undocumented migrants.

Additionally, only one case of UNHCR card forgery has been reported, involving six Myanmar nationals.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 — Selangor recorded the highest number of index crime cases involving Rohingya refugees, with 58 cases reported from 2022 to August 2026, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs (KDN).

In a written reply published on Parliament’s website, KDN said Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) statistics showed that 199 index crime cases involving Rohingya refugees were recorded nationwide during the period.

Of the total, 52 cases were recorded in 2022, followed by 43 in 2023, 37 in 2024, 29 in 2025 and 38 from January to August 2026, the ministry said.

Kedah recorded the second-highest number of cases, at 26, followed by Johor (24), Kuala Lumpur (22), Penang, Pahang and Kelantan (13 each), Perak and Terengganu (12 each), Melaka (four) and Negeri Sembilan (two).

KDN said National Security Council (MKN) Directive No. 23 provides the framework for managing refugees and asylum seekers in Malaysia, setting out guidelines and the respective roles of ministries and enforcement agencies to safeguard national security.

“The government is also strengthening control and monitoring of refugee communities, including the Rohingya, through the Refugee Registration Document (DPP) Programme, which began on Jan 1, 2026.

“The programme aims to strengthen the centralised management of refugee data and reduce reliance on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR),” the ministry said.

KDN said 4,010 detainees held at immigration depots across Peninsular Malaysia had been registered under Phase One of the programme, comprising 4,008 Myanmar nationals and one each from Sudan and Syria.

“Adults will be relocated in stages to the Special Isolation Centre for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Bidor, Perak, which has a capacity of 400 people,” the ministry added.

The reply was in response to a question from Datuk Adnan Abu Hassan (BN-Kuala Pilah) on the number of criminal cases involving Rohingya refugees in each state and measures taken by the government to strengthen the registration and monitoring of the community to safeguard public safety and order.

Responding to a question from Datuk Rosol Wahid (PN-Hulu Terengganu) on the number of UNHCR card fraud cases recorded in Malaysia and the action taken against those responsible, KDN said 159,232 undocumented migrants were arrested during 53,318 enforcement operations conducted by the Immigration Department of Malaysia (JIM) nationwide from January 2025 to August 2026.

It said the operations also involved the screening of 659,191 individuals, while action was taken against 6,099 employers found to have hired or harboured undocumented migrants without valid authorisation.

On UNHCR card forgery, KDN said the PDRM Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) had recorded only one such case to date.

“The case, which occurred in Kuala Lumpur, involved six Myanmar nationals, all of whom have since been charged in court,” the ministry said. — Bernama

根据马来西亚内政部的数据，2022 年至 2026 年 8 月期间，雪兰莪州报告的涉及罗兴亚难民的指数犯罪案件数量在马来西亚最高，共 58 起。

全国共记录到 199 例此类病例，其中吉打州、柔佛州和吉隆坡的病例数量也相当可观。

政府已启动难民登记文件计划，以加强数据管理并减少对联合国难民署的依赖，同时，正在进行的执法行动已导致大量无证移民被捕。

此外，仅有一例联合国难民署卡片伪造案报告，涉及六名缅甸国民。

吉隆坡，10 月 16 日——据内政部 (KDN) 称，雪兰莪州记录了涉及罗兴亚难民的指数犯罪案件数量最多，从 2022 年到 2026 年 8 月共报告了 58 起案件。

在国会网站上发表的书面答复中，KDN表示，马来西亚皇家警察（PDRM）的统计数据显示，在此期间，全国共记录了199起涉及罗兴亚难民的重大犯罪案件。

该部表示，在所有病例中，2022 年记录了 52 例，2023 年记录了 43 例，2024 年记录了 37 例，2025 年记录了 29 例，2026 年 1 月至 8 月记录了 38 例。

KDN表示，国家安全理事会（MKN）第23号指令为马来西亚管理难民和寻求庇护者提供了框架，规定了各部委和执法机构维护国家安全的指导方针和各自职责。

“政府还通过难民登记文件（DPP）计划加强对包括罗兴亚人在内的难民群体的控制和监督，该计划于 2026 年 1 月 1 日开始实施。

该部表示：“该计划旨在加强对难民数据的集中管理，并减少对联合国难民署（UNHCR）的依赖。”

KDN表示，在马来西亚半岛各地的移民拘留中心，已有4010名被拘留者根据该计划的第一阶段进行了登记，其中包括4008名缅甸国民，以及分别来自苏丹和叙利亚的1名国民。

该部门补充说：“成年人将分阶段转移到霹雳州比多难民和寻求庇护者特别隔离中心，该中心可容纳 400 人。”

答复是针对拿督阿德南·阿布·哈桑（国阵-瓜拉庇劳）提出的问题，该问题涉及各州涉及罗兴亚难民的刑事案件数量，以及政府为加强对该群体的登记和监控以维护公共安全和秩序而采取的措施。

针对拿督罗索尔·瓦希德（国盟-乌鲁登嘉楼）提出的关于马来西亚记录的联合国难民署卡片欺诈案件数量以及对相关责任人采取的行动的问题，KDN表示，从2025年1月到2026年8月，马来西亚移民局（JIM）在全国范围内开展了53318次执法行动，逮捕了159232名无证移民。

声明称，此次行动还涉及对 659,191 人进行筛查，并对 6,099 名被发现雇用或窝藏无证移民的雇主采取了行动。

关于联合国难民署卡片伪造问题，KDN表示，马来西亚皇家警察商业犯罪调查部（CCID）迄今为止只记录了一起此类案件。

该部表示：“这起案件发生在吉隆坡，涉及六名缅甸公民，他们目前均已被起诉。”——马新社
