The persecuted Myanmar minority were previously welcomed in the ultra-conservative Aceh province, with many locals sympathetic because of their own long history of war. But a wave of more than 1,500 refugees in recent months has been treated differently.

16 Jun 2021,

LETTER | The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) refers to an article published in The Star on 16 June 2021 titled Residents voice out their thoughts on Rohingya living among them.

We are highly concerned that the article in question articulates xenophobic and racist rhetoric against Rohingya refugees, and perpetuates harmful stereotypes that could lead to hatred, discrimination, and violence against a marginalised and vulnerable community.

Rights groups in Malaysia are incensed by an illustration posted on social media by government agencies that shows armed security officials and navy ships surrounding a boat, with a caption that says, “Rohingya migrants, your arrival is not welcome.”

Posts of the illustration prepared by the National Task Force were taken down from the Immigration Department’s Twitter feed and the border agency’s Facebook page, after rights watchdog Amnesty International issued a harsh statement against the illustration.

The immigration department poster shared on social media, which Amnesty International has described as ‘despicable’.

PETALING JAYA: A rights group has slammed the immigration department over an anti-Rohingya poster it shared on its Twitter account, saying it could foster “hatred, violence and xenophobia”.

In a hard-hitting statement, Amnesty International Malaysia (AIM) said it was “despicable” to say that a community that had undergone ethnic cleansing and endured unimaginable brutality was not only unwelcomed but also threatened with brute force.

ANALYSIS - Anti-Rohingya monk promotes Myanmar ‘Buddhist’ nationalism

AA
Maung Zarni
LONDON 
14.12.2020 

Monk’s description of ‘Buddhists truths’ superior to Universal Declaration of Human Rights is far from ground realities.
The writer is a Burmese coordinator of the Free Rohingya Coalition and a fellow of the Genocide Documentation Center in Cambodia.

Exuding a palpable sense of spiritual and cultural superiority, a genocide-denying Myanmar Buddhist monk declared Myanmar’s “true nationalism” which is anchored in the “universal declaration of Buddhist truths” to be even superior to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Hate Speech Against Rohingya in Myanmar Election Has Worrisome Precedents

RADIO FREE ASIA
2020-10-13


Rohingya candidate Abdul Rasheed, a member of the Democracy and Human Rights Party who was barred from running in Myanmar's upcoming elections, sits in the party's office in Yangon, Aug. 12, 2020. Rights groups decried his disqualification as discriminatory and a symptom of the 'ongoing genocide' against the persecuted ethnic minority group.

Online and offline hate speech targeting Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslims has reared its head in the run-up to national elections in November, as some candidates and others target the largely disenfranchised and despised ethnic minority group to gain support from voters.

Some prominent activists who say they stand for human rights and democracy have propagated hatred for the Rohingya, a double-standard that international watchdog groups weren’t fully aware of. 

 

Ko Zayar Lwin, 29, has become an icon in Myanmar’s activist community since his arrest in April 2019 for a Thangyat performance mocking the military. Zayar Lwin and four of his colleagues in the Peacock Generation troupe, who performed the traditional form of satirical theatre during the annual Thingyan festival, were charged with defamation and undermining the military, and face increasingly lengthy jail sentences. The plight of the young satirists has attracted international attention, even as the civilian government led by their idol State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has remained silent.

The Rohingya will become like the Chinese & Indian & Tamil “ Maul The Malays” Bersatu’s Rais Yatim show his deep Racist streak: From Chinese bashing to “ Tamil Tiger” Scapegoating & now The Rohingyas- Why are some politician & Their Sycophants so evil ?

Negeri Sembilan Bersatu chief Rais Yatim said lessons should be learnt from the country’s past experience of accepting other races when dealing with Rohingya refugees.

Rais indicated that while they may be well-behaved when their numbers are small, this may change when their numbers grow.

“When their numbers are small right now, the Rohingya are gentle that they wouldn’t even kill an ant.

“But when their numbers are in the hundreds of thousands, they will maul us.
“It ended the same way with other races when they came during the British era in the 1920s.

“Let us learn from the history of siding with outsiders,” he said in a Twitter post.

PETALING JAYA: Deputy Federal Territories Minister Edmund Santhara has blamed “DAP-linked netizens” for the recent rise in hate speech and xenophobic messages targeting the Rohingya community amid the Covid-19 outbreak.

Speaking to Malaysiakini and KiniTV, Santhara said his analysis of “all the social media (messages)” found that the hate speech and xenophobic messages were “sponsored by politically motivated groups”.

“Why did I say (these groups) are politically motivated? You can see that the people who are talking about it were originating from the DAP side,” the Segamat MP was quoted as saying.
