Malaysia and Australia to combat people trafficking

July 13, 2009 by: editor


Prime Minister Razak Najib and Australia’s premier Kevin Rudd have agreed to co-operate more fully to combat people smuggling.

On a visit to Kuala Lumpur, Rudd thanked Malaysia for its “energetic” efforts to deal with the problem and both countries agreed to share more intelligence and work more closely on passport and border control and regulation.

Najib told reporters, “We do not want Malaysia to be known as the transit point for human trafficking. This is an evil trade and is bad for the individuals concerned and for the countries concerned.”
