Malaysia set to deport Australian senator

Malaysian authorities are preparing to deport an Australian senator who said he had been refused entry because he was considered a "security risk" in advance of a visit to discuss an election with government and opposition officials.

Nick Xenophon, an independent Australian senator, said he was detained when he arrived early on Saturday at an airport in Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysians are also a race of people. It seems that chinese have very little regard for life (it may or may not have to do with the way the government is oppressing their people), hence a crooked chinese lawyer trying to come up off this controversy.

Chinese is race, while Malaysian refer to nationality.

An american can be Chinese too, y'know.
