After when it was reported that a group of Rohingya refugees may have been part of the Tabligh event at the mosque in Seri Petaling, which caused the spike in Covid-19 cases, we explore whether vulnerable communities such as refugees and migrant workers are receiving proper care in Malaysia.

We speak with Lilianne Fan, Co-Founder and International Director of Geutanyoe Foundation and Chairperson of the Rohingya Working Group at the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network, as well as, Nilim Baruah, the Regional Migration Specialist at the International Labor Organization for Asia and the Pacific.
