The Agora Society wants Malaysia to be appreciated as “a land of diversity” and therefore to integrate Rohingya into our local communities.

You know what they say about being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Chinese posturing as kindest and most Rohingya-caring

Home Minister Hamzah Zainudin said yesterday it is arrogant of refugees (Rohingya) to go around declaring “I have a UNHCR card”.

“Take for example someone who is given the UNHCR card for a three-year period. What happens when the three-year period is up?” Hamzah was quoted as saying by the NST.

Bangladesh’s biggest ever drug bust just happened in Cox’s Bazar

The four suspects (below) were detained by Thai authorities last month for investigation into drug smuggling.

I blogged about this on Feb 22 saying they don’t look Malaysian to me although they’d claimed to be.

A latest news story about a two-kilogram ‘ice’ haul in Cox’s Bazar should set you thinking because yet another Rohingya boat is trying to reach Malaysia (story later in my next blog post). Continue reading “Bangladesh’s biggest ever drug bust just happened in Cox’s Bazar”

Sinchew digging ‘pendatang’ hole ever deeper

I mentioned that the Sin Chew editorial published yesterday was worth reading, mainly because it had Rohingya and Vietnamese boat people on its radar.

Regular readers of my blog would, of course, be aware that I’ve been covering Rohingya extensively and I’ve also brought up the topic that Vietnamese boat people were actually ethnic Chinese. Continue reading “Sinchew digging ‘pendatang’ hole ever deeper”

Bad idea to bring in so much foreign cheap labour

The figures are sourced from a 17 Nov 2020 research paper in The Lancet titled ‘Clinical characteristics and risk factors for severe Covid-19 infections in Malaysia: A nationwide observational study’.
