A man voiced his displeasure with the authorities for not taking action against Rohingya people who trade around Pasar Selayang.
In this video, he showed how the Rohingya are trading freely, including in no-trading zones.
Through this video, a man wearing a songkok and a green shirt expressed his displeasure.
He first showed the sign that prohibited business activities on the shoulder of the road.
Then he questions why Rohingya are allowed to break the law.He said there were police and council enforcement officers present in the area, but no action was taken.
He then questioned why the law was so biased, adding the authorities would take swift action if Malaysians did such things.
However, he claimed no action is taken if it is a foreigner or a refugee.
He also said the Rohingya are refugee card holders, and refugee card holders cannot come to Malaysia to do business or work.
The actions of the man who went on a rampage in front of the market received much attention.
Many expressed dismay at the changes in the Selayang market, where foreigners now dominate it.
Others stated that there was nothing the authorities could do because the refugee issue was under the jurisdiction of immigration.
What Is The Problem With Rohingya?
The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic minority group primarily from Myanmar.
Many Rohingya have fled persecution and violence in Myanmar and sought refuge in neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Thailand.
In Malaysia, the Rohingya are one of the largest refugee populations, with estimates ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 individuals.
However, the Malaysian government does not recognize the Rohingya as refugees and instead classifies them as illegal immigrants.
As a result, they face several challenges, including a lack of access to legal employment, education, healthcare, and other essential services.
Many Rohingya in Malaysia live in informal settlements and face a high risk of exploitation, including forced labour and human trafficking.
In recent years, there have been reports of authorities cracking down on undocumented migrants, which has led to the arrest and detention of many Rohingya.
