Kuala Lumpur (VOCR): It was reportedly learnt that 18 of Chin refugees, most of them have been recognised with the office of UNHCR were arrested by Immigration raiding on November 26 in the near vicinity of Chin refugee center in Imbi, Kuala Lumpur.
The confirmed source reported that all arrestees were sent directly to KLIA detention center on the spot of scene, suggesting that it's a new kind of different bully over refugees.
In the hopeless life of refugee in Malaysia, the term between sending to detention center and to police station is hugely different when arrested. It is because the trial they have to face is such amazingly big and difficult.
According to the report received, 18 of arrestees include 4 from Tidim Township, 3 from Hakha Township and 11 from Matupi Township. The raid took place while they were working in the working site (called little "Chinese village"). Among them, eight are said "male" while ten of them are "women". Also, it was later learnt that four of them are just holders of community card.
As always, it is not uncommon to see the fearful raids of Police, Rela and Immigration usually occurring in Malaysia. Amidst some speculation is being heard in a likely positive way for the workability of refugees here in Malaysia according to news reported, the recent raid is signaled and proved that nothing will happen even if the refugee issue is put in the agenda of cabinet meeting.
In reality, it is impossible to keep away all the time from the raids, police stopping and big joint operations (All Police, Rela and Immigration included) where the survival problem becomes badly challenging.

Is this English article or Bahasa ? I don't understand what Simon is reporting about.
As I am Australian research fellow on Refugees, I am clearly understanding what Simon is reporting. He reported with the facts that really happens in Malaysia.
