Malaysian PM orders crackdown on undocumented Rohingya
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has instructed strict action against Rohingya refugees who gathered outside the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) office in Kuala Lumpur, ordering their referral to the appropriate authorities if they are found without valid permits. This comes amid increasing numbers of arrivals and tensions, along with rising hate speech and harassment against the ethnic group. Among them were approximately 215,600 registered refugees as of the end of February, most of whom are Muslim Rohingya from Myanmar. Malaysia, which does not officially recognize refugee rights, has become more stringent toward this group amid growing concerns about their impact on local society during the COVID-19 pandemic.
