CHAPTER 1 SUHAKAM recommends embassies to work closely with the Immigration Department to expedite the documentation process, such as citizenship verification and issuance of emergency travel documents or passports, to facilitate the deportation process. Additionally, embassies should also visit and contact their citizens who are in detention. SUHAKAM has found some migrant inmates, without financial means, unable to reach their family to inform them of their status or appoint a lawyer to act for them. THE WAY FORWARD To increase the effectiveness of monitoring places of detention, SUHAKAM plans to conduct a human rights workshop for the Board of Visiting Justices. SUHAKAM will be visiting and investigating human rights issues involving workers in the oil palm plantations in the coming year. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 47
