Editorial,
Nowadays, in Malaysia the seasonal signs and decorations remind us of a happy new year once again. It has
been well known by refugees in Malaysia that there are always more raids against illegal workers during this
kind of Chinese New Year in every year.
Recently, a company in Malaysia had reduced a number of its workers. Moreover, there were notable facts
regarding human trafficking that have drawn the world’s attention much more than before. It is undeniable fact
that the issues of human trafficking and the presence of Burma illegal workers in Thailand and Malaysia are
internally related with the issue of refugees from Burma. These issues can hardly be separated even though they
have different aspects and purposes. The main source that generates these problems must have to be solved in
order to resolve the consequent hitches.
We, the VOCR team members wished you all to have a happy Chinese New Year ‘Gong Xi Fa Cai.’
