COMMENT | One itsy bitsy positive step in recognising refugees

COMMENT | I have been creating content about the plight of refugees and those displaced by conflict, politics, and other issues for many years. After all that I have seen and heard, I am convinced that nobody anywhere in the world would willingly leave their homes if they didn’t need to. 

So, I totally don’t agree with people who believe that refugees are in Malaysia to take advantage of our economy and security.

Well, in a way, they are coming here because of these two things, but it isn’t because they really want to. Many of these refugees come to our country because they are escaping environments that are extremely violent and dangerous.

They are not here just because they want to have some fun...
