UNHCR Malaysia has launched our official Telegram channels in 13 languages for refugees and asylum-seekers to find useful information directly from UNHCR.
All refugees and asylum-seekers are encouraged to subscribe to the channels to be updated on the latest news from UNHCR. Subscribers will not be able to respond to messages shared by UNHCR. All usernames and phone numbers will also be hidden. The phone numbers of subscribers cannot be seen by other subscribers in the channel but can be seen by UNHCR.
