“Being a Refugee, I have lost my entire life, and only have my useless suffering." After 26 years of refugee life from Myanmar to Bangladesh - Thailand and Malaysia, I still belong nowhere.
“Even though i still belong nowhere, there are many Rohingya in even worse situations than me. I try use my story of survival to highlight their ongoing situation"

Published by ASIA TIMES  I am a Rohingya refugee in Malaysia. In October 2014, human traffickers kidnapped me from outside the Kutupalong refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. They covered my face and tied my hands and beat me before putting me on a boat from which I was sold to other traffickers in Thailand.

Refugee should be powerful and inspiration to others. In ASEAN countries, they haven’t signed according to UN refugee convention 1951. "Activism is an weapon against fear and disappear," That forced me to speak up, why they are ignoring refugee rights, why they are wasting our lives. They need to underst
