Friends, do take some time off from work & sit in lower courts. You will be shocked to see how the small ppl are treated in courts-no representation, talked down to, jailed for petty crimes, zero mercy from public prosecutor. But the rich n powerful walk in with mega law firms.

I invite Malaysians to spend time in courts. See how badly lower-income groups are treated by the “system”. Cruel DPPs ask for the harshest punishments for the poor while bail is set in 5 digits for petty crimes. The rich & corporates come with multiple lawyers to save them.

Malaysia proclaims “Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan” but has forced labour & human traficking out of control. In fact some of our laws & regulations condone it. So what’s the actual purpose of having this clause in our Rukun Negara/National Principles?

How can Malaysians wave the Palestinian flag but spread so much hate towards refugees & migrants here?It’s an indicator that Malaysians either don’t understand the issues or have a misinformed motivation to campaign for Palestine. Time to have clarity of your moral compass.

It is estimated that over 90% of undocumented migrants (PATI) came to Malaysia via regular channels. Forced labour, human trafficking, corrupt practices by public servants, abuse by employers & agents, poor enforcement of labour laws etc. force them into undocumented status.

It would take 20 years for 3.5million PATI to come into Malaysia via Jalan Tikus at rate of 15K per month.That’s impossible.

Today Malaysians learn in the most bitter manner that democratic processes have chronic flaws. Now imagine what the marginalised and minorities experience daily to survive. 😭

It's not hard to predict that Malaysia’s trajectory over the following years to come is pretty much straight down the drain. This will lead to a phenomenon where ppl have no choice but to leave & is called “forced migration”. Just pray the place you land treats you with dignity.

Malaysia- don't fuck up. Ensure ALL migrants have CRYSTAL CLEAR information in LANGUAGES they understand. You had 5 months to see to this. We don't vaccinate foreigners, clarifies KL welfare centre

I am shocked at the speed of such legislation. Who lobbied for this? Migrant rights groups have been barking for 30 years++ to protect domestic workers in Malaysia. Till today they are excluded from so many articles/protections in the labour laws. What kind of democracy are we?

Owning any LGBT-related Swatch watches – including its packaging – "of any collection" is now a criminal offence under the Printing Presses And Publications Act 1984. Wild.

The term PATI is a deadly, disempowering & a very misleading term used as a weapon to foster xenophobia,hate & cause Malaysians to have abusive behaviour & tendencies towards migrants.We must put an end to it.Let’s not ONLY react when @KamalaHarris is at the receiving end.

What does “EVEN” imply here? Let’s not underestimate or belittle Bangladesh just because we treat their foreign workers like modern day slaves.

Malaysia,your dungeons are no place for any children. Even adults are telling us shocking stories. I can’t imagine the trauma experienced by the kids. Home Ministry: 756 children held at immigration detention centres nationwide as of Oct 26

Kuala Lumpur City Hall is warning property owners on the consequences of renting premises to undocumented migrants. To do this during the COVID19 lock down is extremely cruel. Where will the families go now?The world must know what “Malaysia Truly Asia” actually means
