Peter John Japan, Veteran Activist cum Deputy President Global Human Rights Federation
*Refugee Challenges in Sarawak and Sabah: A Call for Thoughtful Solutions*
Minister of Public Works - Alexander Nanta Linggi expressed his full support for Sarawak Association for People Aspiration's (SAPA) head of publicity and information Peter John Jaban not to accept Palestinian refugees to Sarawak. There is a tendency/possibility of Palestinian war refugees to Malaysia. Since PMX Anwar Ibrahim supports the struggle of Hamas - PJJ said. This matter is becoming more apparent with the statement of the Minister of Finance of Israel - as reported by Malaysiakini today. ” An independent Gaza is unlikely to become a reality, and the Palestinians living there should “voluntarily” move to other countries. According to Pjj, the people of Sarawak and Sabah strongly oppose the entry of Palestinian refugees, it is feared that it will disturb the harmony of the races in both states. The problems brought by Rohinya and Bangladesh refugees are already enough. In other words, Malaysia can help but not by bringing them back to Malaysia. We can help by providing food and medical and financial assistance. But at the same time let's not forget that the Orang Asli of Sarawak (Penan) also need similar help. SAPA's stance, does not mean we are racist but to avoid bigger problems in the future.
