Burmese refugees rounded up and sold in Malaysia

In Malaysia, some immigration officials have been accused of involvement in selling refugees from Myanmar, also known as Burma, to gangs in Thailand.

The attorney generals office in Malaysia says 10 immigration officers are being investigated after the U.S. State Department placed Malaysia on its list of the worlds worst human trafficking offenders last month.

Karen Zusman, an independent journalist, recently returned from Malaysia, where she reported on the plight of the Burmese refugees.

Refugees will go where UNHCR is, it's not only in Malaysia, they go where their protector (UNHCR) is. You Malaysian are just stupid, Many refugees from many countries entered India where they have no problems of any one, India has many Muslims why that is not a indian muslims problems that u so claimed cause by refugees? Malaysians are just piglet.
