Rohingyas are not Vietnamese

This week the Malaysian Government is in trouble on many things, and th highlight for the week is the Rohingya "refugees".

In 2016, Myanmar has a military crackdown on the Rohingyas who resided in their country, leading to their dispersion into many places including Bangladesh, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Why Malaysia?

There are politicians here with vested interest trying to increase the support of Muslim community by showing their "love and care" for fellow Muslims, fought for acceptance of these refugees.

The result is 200,000 refugees who are stateless entering Malaysia while no further action, they are no allowed to work, children barred from state owned education and care, and worst, no refugee camps, leading to them going for low end rentals in Malaysia.

By 2026, the problem of the Rohingya started to emerge. While with refugee status, they diffuse into the society lie the Gypsies of Europe. Many settled illegal encampments what they built themselves, most impressive one was an unapproved 4 stories architecture for multiple families.

Those who settled into low-cost rental were seen slaughtering up to 20 cattle in the back street to "celebrate" Hari Raya Haji, with blood and wastes dumped into the drainage system, causing contamination.

Mothers and children are seen going from car to car at traffic junctions begging for money, which again is a hazardous act endangering them and the road user.

Yet for some reason, the authority turned a blind eye on them. Imagine that these are the action of the Chinese or Indians, I can assure you that politicians will yell at the top of their voice to condemn such action, the authorities with conduct further crack down at lightning speed.

Maybe it is simply that the Rohingyas are Muslim? Afterall, it is not the first time that Malaysia law is very gentle when come to Malay and Muslims, fearing that it will hurt their feelings. While the rest are outsiders no matter how hard they justify being Malaysians.

The irony is that among the fiasco, the authority claim that they are aware of the 4 stories building that is illegal, and that it was the landowner who allowed the Rohingya to build. Further to that, they have cut the electricity while allowing the water supply to continue. The building is now unoccupied.

The authority made further claim that the settlement there is to be torn down, waiting for the 600,000 funds to be approved.

I really can't believe what I have heard. The landowner agreed the illegal settlement built-up, should the landowner be the responsible party to dismantle? further to that, should the landowner not be fined for this illegal built-up? Why is it that it is the people who has to foot the bill for this activity?

There are many calls for the repatriation of the Rohingyas, not only Malaysia, but Indonesia as well. Aceh for instance launched protest to get them deported the problem is: where to?

Technically, the Rohingyas are stateless people, unlike Vietnamese in the 70s who could be repatriated back to Vietnam. Myanmar has not recognized Rohingyas are their citizens, neither will Bangladesh even though these people originate from there. 

If you are to deport someone, you have to send them back to the country of their origin. Rohingyas has no country of origin!

Fun fact, why both Bangladesh and Myanmar reject Rohingyas? Because the Rohingyas want to set up their own country, they are not pleading to the country they reside in, they demanded a piece of their own land cutting from the host country, they are even willing to take up violence to achieve this, evidence from what happened in Myanmar.

I am not surprised that when the Rohingya turn a sizeable group, they will demand a piece of their own land from the Malaysia government. I wonder the Malaysia government then willing to do so for "brotherhood"?

Why is my topic on Malaysia today? Primarily, I wanted an entry on SGDMYR, and Malaysia political development touches on the Rohingyas this week.

I wanted to have this SGDMYR entry last week as it was climbing up, but I procrastinated. 

Fig1. SGDMYR weekly chart

In my last entry on SGDMYR in Now that SGDMYR reaching its support zone, what's next? dated 14th Feb 2026, I was of impression of a correction of SGDMYR with resistance between 3.1193 to 3.2337 before continuation downward. 

SGDMYR is reversing up presently, Reached a high of 3.1640 only to close at 3.1586 on Friday. It is in midst of climbing further upward. At the same time, new development since my last read allowing more indication of its direction.  

SGDMYR has crossed its 61.8% projection of 3.1485 and is heading for its 55-week moving average at 3.1770. This is very close to its 100% projection of 3.1849. These are the resistance for this correction.

Considering is correction with formation of double-bottom, its objective will be at between 3.2335 to 3.2772. These 2 levels are very close to the previous prediction. 

Support wise is unchanged since I am using the higher end projection with its 100% projection support at 2.9470.
