Although it hosts one of Southeast Asia’s biggest refugee populations, Malaysia is not a signatory to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention and does not formally recognise refugee status. Many Rohingya fled Myanmar during the military’s 2017 crackdown, which forced thousands to seek refuge abroad. Rights groups say Rohingya refugees in Malaysia have faced growing online hate campaigns and disinformation, fuelling xenophobia and intimidation. Wednesday’s announcement came after refugee schools across Malaysia were forced...
