Compassion For Refugees Needs To Be Policy-Backed

A viral video of Palestinian refugees expressing frustration after being denied permission to leave their accommodations has prompted discussions among Malaysians about the country’s stance on the cause. Although this incident underscores that the actions of a few do not represent the entire community, it does highlight the need for better policies and support systems to address the holistic needs of refugees. Dr. Melati Nungsari, Associate Professor of Economics, Asia School of Business shares her insights on the essential changes required to tackle these challenges.
