Clearing the air on refugees

  • Wednesday, 10 Jul 2019

WE are both academic researchers who work closely with the refugee community in Malaysia and are deeply concerned over the misleading arguments in the letter “Careful with right to work” (The Star, June 25) by Pola Singh (online at https://bit.ly/30b0mr1).

In our work, we routinely encounter individuals with these misconceptions and would like to present some facts to clear the air surrounding some of the issues highlighted by the writer.
