An undocumented migrant from Myanmar died in a road accident while fleeing an immigration detention centre in Malaysia on Jan 1 and this is the second reported breakout from a Malaysian detention centre in as many years. Altogether more than a hundred Myanmar migrants also broke out from the detention centre. In April 2022, 582 ethnic Rohingya refugees from Myanmar escaped an immigration depot in northern Kedah state. Six of those migrants were killed after being hit by vehicles on a highway.
