Why is Malaysia sending 269 Rohingya people, including 49 children, back to the sea and potentially to their deaths? This is not a game of ping-pong. This is a matter of life and death. #MigranJugaManusia #DontPushBoatsBack @IsmailSabri60 @MINDEFMalaysia @imigresenmy @KP_JIM
nytimes.com/reuters/2020/0…
When the boat arrived, media reported that 1 dead body was found and many were too weak to even walk. Sending boats back out to sea means sending people to death, abuse, and starvation. #MigranJugaManusia #DontPushBoatsBack @IsmailSabri60 @MINDEFMalaysia @imigresenmy @KP_JIM
In 2015 Malaysia also pushed back overcrowded boats carrying Rohingya people. Many were fleeing death and violence in Myanmar, only to endure shocking conditions at sea as detailed in this Amnesty report: amnesty.org/download/Docum… @IsmailSabri60 @MINDEFMalaysia @imigresenmy @KP_JIM
Safety for Msians should not mean death, abuse & starvation for Rohingya ppl seeking safety. Msia should immediately halt plans to send 49 children & 220 adults back to sea, & instead protect ppl from human trafficking #MigranJugaManusia #DontPushBoatsBack @IsmailSabri60

1/ WHAT DOES TORTURE IN MALAYSIA LOOK LIKE?
*CW: graphic descriptions of violence & torture

Many people might not initially associate torture with the Malaysian state. Yet, scratch underneath the surface, and you’ll find that torture is widespread.

Former Internal Security Act (ISA) detainee Abdul Malek Hussin described his experience being tortured, including beating until he fell unconscious and sexual abuse. Malek’s testimony is consistent with the experience of many other former ISA detainees.

Newer laws have replaced the ISA, but allegations of torture remain. Recently, a group of 21 men alleged they were beaten with pipes, sticks and chairs while handcuffed. Their genitals were sprayed with chilli oil.

One of the demands of the union was to ask for an annual salary increment. Their salary is minimum wage (previously RM1100, now RM1200), and stays the same throughout their career, regardless of working experience.

#CleanerJugaFrontliner
But in a country where cost of living is high and rising, this isn't enough for cleaners to support their families.

"Gaji amat penting bagi kaum pekerja bawahan seperti saya. Kalau ada penambahan gaji, dapat membantu, menambah pendapatan keluarga."

1/ "KALAU KITA SENYAP, KITA TAK AKAN DAPAT HAK KITA."

Sebagai pekerja kontrak, pekerja pembersihan sering dibayar gaji minimum (RM1,200), dan tidak menerima kenaikan gaji tahunan atau apa-apa faedah lain termasuk kontrak tetap, cuti umum berbayar 15 hari cuti tahunan dan bonus. Image
2/ Satu pekerja yang kami bertemu telah berkerja selama 20 tahun sebagai pekerja pembersihan. Gaji dia hanya RM1200 sebulan. Manfaatnya semakin kurang setiap tahun – contohnya, manfaat kesihatan telah dikurangkan dari RM1,200 ke RM200. Image
3/ “Selepas potongan pencen dan keselamatan sosial pembersih hanya dapat membawa pulang lebih kurang RM1,000 (US$233) – di sebuah negara di mana anggaran gaji kehidupan wajarnya adalah sebanyak RM2,700 (US$633) sebulan untuk seorang.”

1/ "KALAU KITA SENYAP, KITA TAK AKAN DAPAT HAK KITA."

As contract workers, cleaners are often paid the min. wage (RM1,200), don't receive annual pay rises or benefits like permanent contracts, 15 days of paid public holidays, annual leave, bonuses, retrenchment compensation. Image
2/ One worker we spoke to had been a cleaner for over 20 years. Her salary was RM1200. Her benefits had actually reduced over the course of her career -- a health benefit from RM1,200 to RM200, for example.

"Dari mana kita boleh mintak hak kita?" she asked. Image
3/ "After pension and social security deductions, cleaners’ average take-home pay is usually closer to RM1,000 (US$233)—in a country where the estimated living wage is nearly three times that, or RM2,700 (US$633) a month for a single person."
