Rohingya refugees struggle to practice their faith and find acceptance in Malaysia
Associated Press ·
Rohingya Muslim refugees who fled persecution in Myanmar face new challenges in Malaysia, a Muslim-majority country that does not legally recognize refugees. Some face discrimination at local mosques, while others avoid them for fear of immigration detention. Many also struggle with limited access to education, healthcare and employment, as well as family separation and loss. Refugee advocates seek better protections while families work to preserve their faith and pass religious traditions on to younger generations.
