Lawyer Says Some Rohingya Pay Up To RM25,000 To Bring Family Members Into Malaysia Illegally
Lawyer Says Rohingya Families Pay Thousands To Bring Relatives Into Malaysia
Lawyer Nurul Hafidzah Hassan says some Rohingya who have already settled in Malaysia pay agents in Myanmar between RM15,000 and RM25,000 to bring family members into the country illegally. According to her, the information comes from her experience representing police officers, civil servants, and members of the public involved in migrant smuggling cases through northern maritime routes. She also said women and young girls could cost between RM30,000 and RM40,000 each to be brought into Malaysia, adding that she was informed some were brought in to marry within the Rohingya community already residing here. In a Facebook post, she further shared that the funds for such payments could come from wholesale markets, food businesses, gangs, public donations to community NGOs, or loans that would later be repaid through family members.
Claims Of Ongoing Smuggling Through Sea Routes
Nurul Hafidzah said she was informed that migrant smuggling through sea routes is still taking place on a large scale. According to information she received, as many as three boats could enter Malaysian waters within a week, with each carrying more than 400 passengers. She also shared that she had been told individuals were required to pay thousands of ringgit to certain parties in order to pass through these routes and claimed that while some migrants were detained, others were allegedly returned to agents. She further expressed the view that many Rohingya entering Malaysia do not intend to return to Myanmar but instead hope to settle permanently with their families.
Calls For The Issue To Be Viewed Beyond Humanitarian Concerns
Drawing from her legal experience, Nurul Hafidzah said the Rohingya issue should be examined from multiple perspectives, including national security, law enforcement, and the long term impact on the country. She explained that she had represented police officers, civil servants, and members of the public who participated in operations targeting Rohingya smuggling through northern maritime borders but later faced charges under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 and the Anti Trafficking in Persons and Anti Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 after those operations were allegedly sabotaged. She also said religious sentiment is often used to gain sympathy without considering the implications of uncontrolled migration and acknowledged that not everyone would agree with her views. However, she believes her experience handling such cases has given her insight into issues that deserve wider public discussion.
