4 | In Southeast Asia, nations often deal with the influx of refugees from inside and outside the region. | Ao Azia Atsimo Atsinanana, matetika ireo firenena ao no miatrika fitobaky ny mpifindra monina avy ao anatiny sy avy any ivelan'ny faritra. |
5 | Malaysia is a hub and transit point for many refugees seeking sanctuary after escaping from neighboring communities plagued by conflict and oppression. | Toerana fifamezivezena sy fandalovana i Malezia ho an'ireo mpifindra monina marobe mikaroka toerana azo antoka taorian'ny nandosirany ny fifandonana sy ny famoretan'ireo vondrom-piarahamonina mpifanolo-bodirindrina. |
6 | However, the government of Malaysia does not recognize refugees and asylum-seekers who are classified as “illegal immigrants”, and they are denied access to basic services provided by the state. | Na izany aza, tsy mandray ireo mpitsoa-ponenana ireo ho toy ny mialokaloka sy mpangataka fialokalofana ny governemanta ao Malezia izay manasokajy azy ireny ho “mpifindra monina an-tsokosoko”, ary tsy avela hahazo ireo filàna fototra atolotry ny fanjakàna izy ireny. |
7 | Furthermore, under Article 6 of the Immigration Act, people without valid entry documentation are subjected to the full brunt of the law as they are given an “imprisonment term not exceeding five years and shall also be liable to whipping of not more than six strokes.” | Ankoatra izany, araka ny artikla 6 ao amin'ny Ialàna momba ny fifindrà-monina, ireo olona rehetra tsy manana taratasy ara-dalàna hidirana any dia iharan'ny fkapoka mandrivorivon'ny lalàna satria omena sazy “fampidirana am-ponja tsy mihoatra ny dimy taona izy ireny no sady koa mahazo vely karavasy tsy mihoatra ny enina.” |
8 | According to the fact sheet of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are about 35,000 unregistered asylum-seekers as well as 143,435 refugees and asylum-seekers registered with their office in Malaysia as of end March 2014. | Araky ny taratasy milaza ny zava-misy avy amin'ny Kaomisaria Ambony Ao amin'ny Firenena Mikambana Miahy ny Mpitsoa-ponenana na ny United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), misy ireo amin'ny 35.000 eo ireo mpangataka fialokalofana tsy voarakitra ara-dalàna ary hatramin'ny 143.435 ireo mpangataka mpitsoa-ponenana sy mpangataka fialokalofana voarakitra ao amin'ny biraon'izy ireo any Malezia hatramin'ny faran'ny volana Martsa 2014. |
9 | The poor state of refugees in the country was recently featured in an Al Jazeera report. | Ny fiainana tsizarizarin'ireo mpitsoa-ponenana ao amin'ny firenena no navoitra vao haingana tao amin'ny tatitry ny Al Jazeera. |
10 | During the interview, UNHCR Malaysia representative Richard Towle talked about the arbitrary arrests conducted by state forces, exploitation of refugees, corruption, neglect of children's rights and lack of resources to effectively assist the growing refugee community in Malaysia. | Nandritra ilay tafatafa, noresahan'i Richard Towle, solontenan'ny UNHCR ao Malezia ny momba ny fisamborana tsy ara-drariny ataon'ny fanjakana, ny fitrandrahana ireo mpitsoa-ponenana, ny kolikoly, ny tsy firaharahàna ny zon'ny ankizy ary ny tsy fahampian'ny fanohanana tena mahomby an'ireo mpitsoa-ponenana tsy mitsha-mitombo ao Malezia. |
11 | He added: | Hoy izy nanampy: |
12 | Refugees are treated as illegal migrants, and illegal migrants are at risk of all forms of vulnerability in society. | Entina toy ny mpifindra monina tsy ara-dalàna ireo mpitsoa-ponenana, ary ny mpifindra monina tsy ara-dalàna dia mety hiharan'ny endriky ny faharefoana rehetra ao anatin'ny fiarahamonina. |
13 | They are liable to be arrested and detained and live in a grey or dark zone of society where there is a high degree of exploitation or abuse. | Mety ho voasambotra izy ireny ary hotànana sy hiaina anaty faritra maloto na maizina eo amin'ny fiarahamonina izay misy ny tena taha avo be amin'ny resaka fanararaotana. |
14 | The deputy home minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar denounced the interview with UNHCR and defended the government: | Notsinian'ny minisitra lefitra misahana ny trano fonenana, Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, ilay tafatafa niarahana tamin'ny UNHCR no sady narovany ny governemanta : |
15 | Even though we are not a signatory to the convention of refugees, they are being treated with dignity, they are given access to medical treatment and they are allowed visits. | Na dia tsy nanao sonia ny fifanarahana momba ireo mpitsoa-ponenana aza isika, dia karakaraina amim-pahamendrehana ry zareo ireny, omena fahafahana mitsabo tena ary azo atao ny mitsidika azy. |
16 | A member of Malaysia's National Legislature, MP Ong Kian Ming, expressed his disagreement with the home minister: | Ong Kian Ming, mpikambana iray ao amin'ny antenimiera mpanao lalàna ao Malezia dia naneho ny tsy fitoviany hevitra amin'ny minisitra tompon-toerana : |
17 | The replies of the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaffar in Parliament on Tuesday showed that he is not aware of the seriousness of the accusations revealed in an Al Jazeera programme even though he was interviewed in the programme. | Ireo valinteny nomen'ny Minisitra lefitra misahana ny Atitany, Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaffar, tao amin'ny antenimiera tamin'ny Talata, dia naneho fa tsy fantany velively ny maha-henjana ireo fiampangàna navoaka tao amin'ny fandaharana iray tao amin'ny Al Jazeera, na dia izy aza no nohadihadiana tao amin'ilay fandaharana. |
18 | In particular, his replies show that he is totally ignorant of the articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) of which Malaysia is a signatory. | Raha raisina manokana, ny valintenony dia mampiseho fa tsy fantany taneteraka ireo artikla ao amin'ny Fifanarahan'ny Firenena Mikambana Momba ny Zon'ny Ankizy (CRC) izay isan'ny nanao sonia azy i Malezia. |
19 | But outspoken youth chief of political party Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia, Tan Keng Liang, held contrary views from the deputy home minister and the member of parliament: | Saingy ilay tanora tsy mataho-masomena lehiben'ny antoko politika Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia, Tan Keng Liang, dia nitondra fomba fijery mifanohitra amin'ny an'ny minisitra misahana ny trano fonenana sy ilay mpikambana ao amin'ny antenimiera: |
20 | our country respect human rights. | Manaja ny zon'olombelona ny firenentsika. |
21 | But if the refugee still complain their treatment, then don't come. | Saingy raha mbola mitaraina amin'ny fomba fitondra azy ireo mpitsoa-ponenana, dia aza mankaty e. |
22 | We don't want u people in Malaysia | Tsy mila anareo izahay aty Malezia anie rey olona e! |
23 | - Tan Keng Liang (@tankengliang) November 26, 2014 I think those “refugee” must have been expecting 5 star treatment at the expense of our tax payers money. | Mihevitra aho hoe tsy maintsy mitady fomba fandraisana toy ny an'ireo Kintana 5 ireo “mpitsoa-ponenana” ireo, ka ny volan'ny mpandoa hetra no hanefàna izany. |
24 | Get lost! | Ndeha mahazo any! |
25 | - Tan Keng Liang (@tankengliang) November 26, 2014 His blusters on Twitter were met with outrage by ordinary Malaysians: | Nitsena hatezerana avy amin'ireo MAleziana tsotra ireo teny feno hebohebo nataony tao amin'ny Twitter : |
26 | Dear @tankengliang, in the name of freedom of speech I respect your opinion. | Ry @tankengliang malala, amin'ny anaran'ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra dia hajaiko ny fomba fijerinao. |
27 | However that is highly insensitive for a politician in Malaysia - Kiran Nesarajah (@nesarajah) November 26, 2014 . | Na izany aza dia tena saropady ho an'ny olona iray mpanao politika eto Malezia izany . |
28 | @tankengliang Surely refugees ought to be treated with dignity. | @tankengliang Ny azo antoka dia tokony hokarakaraina amim-pahamendrehana ireo mpitsoa-ponenana. |
29 | As human beings. | Toy ny olombelona. |
30 | It's also about compassion. | Resaka fitserana koa io e. |
31 | - Polarised Bae (@brianlian) November 26, 2014 Will the exposé embolden the Malaysian government and civil society groups to step up the reforms necessary to improve the quality of life for refugees? | Hanosika ny governemanta Maleziana sy ny fiarahamonim-pirenena sivily mba hanao dingana ho amin'izay fanavaozana tena tsy maintsy ilaina mba hanatsaràna ny kalitaon'ny fiainan'ireo mpitsoa-ponenana ve ilay famelabelarana? |
32 | These refugees and asylum seekers have fled the repressive and often brutal conditions in their home countries to seek shelter in a modern and peaceful Malaysia only to find that the government's tourism slogan of ‘Caring Malaysia' is not entirely accurate. | Matetika no nandositra ny fiainana feno famoretana sy ny toe-draharaha mahery setra tany amin'ny firenena niaviany ireny mpitsoa-ponenana ireny, mba hikatsaka fialofana ao anatin'i Malezia maoderina sy mandry fahalemana ary hahita fotsiny avy eo fa hay resabe tsy mitombina tanteraka ny teny fanevan'ny fizahantany an'ny governemanta manao hoe ‘Malezia Mikarakara'. |
33 | It is important to acknowledge that many areas of legislation impact on the lives of refugees from issues relating to identity, employment, housing, as well as childcare, education and health. | Zava-dehibe ny mahafantatra fa misy fiantraikany amin'ny fiainan'ireo mpitsoa-ponenana ny fepetra any amin'ny faritra maro, miainga amin'ny olan'ny fanànana antontan-taratasy maha -izy ny tena, ny asa, ny trano honenana, ary hatramin'ny fikarakarana ny ankizy, ny fanabeazana ary n y fahasalamana. |
34 | An informed society along with rights-based intervention, may bring about positive changes, uplifting them from marginalization in their desperate time of need. | Ny fiarahamonina iray manana fahalalàna miaraka amin'ny fitsofohana mifamatotra amin'ny resaka zo, dia mety hitondra fiovàna miabo, manaisoatra azy ireo hiala amin'ny fanilikilihana rehefa sendra anatin'ny fotoan-tsarotra ilàn-dry zareo izany. |
