Rohingya Life

With my rohingya superiors, brothers and students who are struggling to survive and suffering in different ways of hardship. They all are vulnerable and innocent victims. They become refugees more than 20 to 27 years ago. Few of them were born in Myanmar and Bangladesh refugee camps and have no clue of what the future holds. This was just unbelievably agonizing. Based on my personal experiences and with my long experience working in the community, I can feel how their lives are tough. I really want the people of Malaysia and all around the world to know that we are here to contribute to your country. “The world can’t say we are not related.” # WeAreRefugee   # WeAreRohingya   # WeAreVictimsOfGenocide   # TerimakasihMalaysia

Thank you for your autograph!  Maung Zarni , after a talk about my life in KL. I would request all my friends to read this book: ESSAYS ON MYANMAR’S GENOCIDE OF ROHINGYA (2012-2018), author by Maung Zarni and  Natalie Brinham . Then they too will know what is really went on in the past, and the present day Rohingya in Myanmar. This book is really an important testimony of not just explaining genocide in Myanmar, it relates to what has become of the Rohingya today, and it exposes Myanmar's policy to destroy the Rohingya. I feel saddened for my people. Thank you so much again dear Zarni for presenting the struggle for basic human rights that are crucially important at this time all over the world. # SaveRohingya

AUTHOR:  Eileen Chew Abul Hussin bin Noor Mohammad poses for a portrait at his home in Penang, Malaysia on 17 August 2018. After years of trying, his family is finally preparing to leave Malaysia for a new life in Canada.  Eileen Chew  Mohd Rafik still recalls the day when Buddhist militants pursued him with a machete in his hometown in Buthidaung township in Rakhine State in Myanmar. His abdomen and shoulder still bear indelible scars from that traumatic experience. It led him to flee Myanmar for Malaysia in 2012. Two years later, his wife and two children eventually reunited with him—taking the same route by boat to Thailand, then overland into Malaysia, with the help of human traffickers. Rafik and his family are just one example of thousands who have been pushed out of their homes. According to a report by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), over 723,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to neighbouring countries like Bangladesh since 2017. M
