Investigative journalist Syed Fawad Ali Shah who spent a decade in exile in Malaysia was deported back to his country of Pakistan last August.
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed that Syed Fawad, 41, was a refugee in Malaysia prior to his deportation at the request of the Pakistani government.
"Syed Fawad is a Pakistani national who has been living in Malaysia for a long time. His presence here caught the attention of the Pakistani government and they requested his repatriation.
"This request was done through the previous government (under former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob), not the current one," Saifuddin Nasution told reporters today when met after his official visit to the Prisons Department's headquarters in Kajang.
