No, the Rohingya do not dominate Selayang market and are not in business, but they are survivors of a genocide who only seek refuge and protection and remain grateful for Malaysia's hospitality. FMTNews Rohingya MCO Covid19
Against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic in Malaysia, there has been a rising vitriolic campaign by some sections of Malaysian social media users against Rohingya refugees in the country.
Rumours that Rohingya refugees have dominated Selayang market areas and have been breaching the Covid-19 lockdown rules.The Rohingya people, merely 4 million worldwide, are survivors of genocide by the Myanmar regime and have lived in political, economic, social and educational lockdown in Myanmar for more than four decades.
The Rohingya survivors escaping from genocide in Myanmar have ended up in Malaysia for shelter and refuge. A few are able to be resettled in third countries, but the majority have to stay in Malaysia, for years or decades, in hope of returning to Myanmar once it becomes peaceful, they are assured of their security.
Contrary to some unfounded allegations on social media and in some mainstream media, the Rohingya refugees in Malaysia as well as those resettled to third countries have been always grateful to Malaysia and its hospitable people and will always be. They always pray for the well-being of the country.
