Malaysia, once a haven for Rohingya, now seeks their return
Original: Malaysia gave refuge to Rohingya; now it wants them to go https://www. aljazeera.com/features/2026/9/ 29/malaysia-gave-r
Malaysia, which for years sheltered Rohingya Muslims fleeing persecution in Myanmar, is now planning to send them back. Reports say the government is moving toward returns to Myanmar despite ongoing concerns about safety and the lack of citizenship rights for the minority there. Advocates warn the community, many of whom live as undocumented refugees in Malaysia, faces an uncertain future as the policy shifts.
Why now: A major host country appears to be reversing its long-standing refugee stance, raising fears of forced returns.
