A few years ago, Malaysia govt brought in a group of refugees from Syria and I was shooting a documentary with them. The Yayasan that sponsored them (guess which Yayasan?) put them in a few apartments in a new area. After the first few days, they got into arguments among themselves and with the local residents.
After several months, all except one family returned back to Lebanon and other parts of the middle east because they could not adapt to Malaysia. The family that stayed could speak English and found work.
My personal observation, the refugees had a lot of personal trauma and had learned to fight for survival. They have seen unspeakable horrors of family members being killed and tortured in front of them. In their eyes, the world was an unfair place and even those who wanted to help them were using them. When blankets and clothes were distributed among them, they would argue among themselves as they accused each other of favouritism.
What I'm trying to say is, their journey as refugees/migrants in Malaysia will not be easy. People are quick to judge them. There is the language and cultural differences to overcome. Malaysians are also quick to judge viral videos without context.
Potensi Pekan Masai sebagai pekan tertua di Pasir Gudang dan Johor Bahru mesti dimanfaatkan sepenuhnya agar ianya dapat dijadikan sebagai pemangkin kepada sosioekonomi masyarakat setempat dan industri pelancongan di Pasir Gudang.

Bola yang paling dibenci dalam sejarah Piala Dunia.
Jabulani adalah bola yang 'sempurna'. Ia dianggap sebagai bintang utama Piala Dunia 2010 di Afrika Selatan.
Ia bagaimanapun, sangat kontroversi.
Jabulani direka sebagai bola yang paling aerodinamik dalam sejarah.
Senang je jadi YB, tumpang je apa yang PBT buat.
Rancangan Tempatan atau RT ini semua PBT buat la.
Orang nak tahu apa pelan kau secara khusus sebagai wakil rakyat.
RT ni paling-paling kau terlibat sebagai panel dalam sesi libat urus je.
Takkan YB ni level Ahli Majlis PBT je ?
