Apr 13, 2018

A Syrian man who has been stranded at KLIA2 for over a month has declined an offer from the government, to be given special pass that would allow him to stay here legally. 

Hassan al-Kontartold the Malay Mail, he would struggle to find a job in Malaysia and adds that the cost of living in Malaysia is too high. 

He says ideally, he needs to go somewhere that will give him a refugee visa. 

Hassan was deported to Malaysia from the UAE last month, and has been stranded at the airport ever since.
