‘We are living like a dog’: Explosion in Malaysians seeking asylum in Australia
Australia is experiencing a rapid rise in refugee claims from Malaysian nationals as the country’s ongoing political corruption scandal drags on against a backdrop of ethnic and religious tensions.
The number of Malaysians seeking asylum in Australia has increased dramatically in the last year due to increasing political instability, ethnic tensions and rising Islamic fundamentalism.
They now make up 43 percent of all claims for asylum.
