Its Recommendations
Comments/Follow-up Action
1.4 Accommodation in closed centres
should be improved to provide more privacy
As reported in our telno. 1359 of 6 May 1986, improved privacy in the present closed centres is not practicable because of lack of space. The increasing population density caused by the recent upsurge in arrivals aggravates the situation. However, in planning for the construction of a fourth closed
centre, the type of accommodation provided will aim to offer a greater degree of privacy and family life.
1.5 Refugees should be allowed to
cook and eat their own food
Cannot be done due to limited
space, fire hazard, hygene and security problems (cooking utensils
can be easily turned into offensive
weapons)
1.6 More exposure to outside world
e.g. more trips outside the closed centre for refugee
children or allow outside
people to visit camps to sell food, clothes, toys,
etc.
All along closed centre children
have been allowed to make outside
trips as part of their education
programmes. In addition since
1982/83 there has been a mini-
supermarket in each closed centre run by the voluntary agencies there.
A canteen was also set up in each
closed centre in 1986. The canteens
are now running on its own profits and
managed by a social worker.
