Ships carrying Myanmar nationals have entered waters off the country's coast after departing from Malaysia, according to state media reports. The vessels transported deportees who had served sentences for immigration-related offences, including illegal stays and violations of immigration regulations. The repatriation represents the conclusion of legal proceedings against the Myanmar nationals in Malaysian custody. The exact number of returnees and their intended ports of entry were not immediately specified in the reports. The deportation underscores ongoing efforts by Southeast Asian nations to manage irregular migration and enforce immigration compliance within the region.
