The Immigration Department Of Malaysia is a department under the the Malaysia Ministry of Home Affairs and enforces the immigration laws. The Immigration Department Malaysia has a duty to keep out aliens who have a criminal record, aliens who are not able to finance themselves and people who are lying about their intentions for coming to Malaysia.
