‘We want to go home for Eid, but we don’t want to be killed’

It is an enduring fear that keeps many of the Myanmar Muslim Rohingya refugees living at the Taman Wilayah Selayang flats from going home to Myanmar to celebrate Hari Raya, or Eid.

Rohingya community chief Mohamad Sultan, 68, said that he still remembers with sadness the fate of his family members who died from the bloody conflict between the radical Buddhists and Muslims in Arakan, where he hails from.

He said that although he deeply wishes to return to Arakan, his fear of being killed by the radical Buddhists there keeps him here in Malaysia. (Courtesy of freemalaysiatoday.com)
