Section 6

(2)

Upon receiving the warrant of execution of a banishment order made against any person, the officer-in-charge of the prison in which the person is confined shall inform the person of the period for which he is banished and warn him that he is forbidden by law to return to Malaysia or to enter or reside in Malaysia, except as specially provided in the banishment order.

(3)

As soon as possible after receiving the warrant of execution of a banishment order against any person, the officer-in-charge of the prison in which the person is confined or some prison officer appointed by that officer in that behalf shall hand the person ordered to be banished to a senior police officer appointed by the Inspector-General of Police to receive him, and the person shall thereupon be conveyed in the custody of that or some other senior police officer and placed on such means of transport as may be expedient for conveyance to the country of which he is a citizen or to such other place as may be stated in the warrant.

(4)

Any banished person who is in the custody of a senior police officer under subsection (3) may be received into and detained in any prison or other suitable place in Malaysia until he can be placed on some means of transport for conveyance in accordance with that subsection.

(2)

If the Minister is satisfied that a person subject to a banishment order directed to be suspended under subsection (1) has failed to observe any condition specified in the bond executed by him under the subsection or that it is not conducive to the good of Malaysia that the person should further remain therein, the Minister may at any time revoke the suspension of the banishment order and upon revocation of the suspension the person may be arrested and detained without a warrant, and the original banishment order shall thereupon be executed in accordance with this Act.
