A deal to send 800 asylum seekers in Australia to Malaysia in exchange for 4,000 refugees is to be signed on Monday, a Malaysian official has said.
The home ministry official said the one-off exchange of boat people would be formally agreed in Kuala Lumpur.
Many refugee claimants held at Australia's Christmas Island detention centre have expressed frustration at long delays and overcrowding.
