The tsunami that swept in waves of terror and swept away waves of lives may bring in another wave as well: hungry Achenese refugees. SUHAINI AZNAM raises the possibility. 

WHILE Malaysia is battling hard to keep a lid on the numbers of illegal migrant workers, estimated at between 800,000 and 1.2 million with the vast majority being from Indonesia, the tsunami may cause even greater numbers finding their way to Malaysian shores.
