IN THE recent past, it is the Rohingya children learning to sing Negaraku. Then it was Rohingya migrants practicing silat.
What’s next for them? Apparently it comes in the form of a dilapidated flat in Sungai Tekali, Hulu Langat, Selangor.
A recent video circulating on social media captures the makeshift multi-storey structure in all its stark details.
According to netizen @dahfollowbelum who posted it on X, the building was allegedly constructed illegally by Rohingya migrants.
However, the exact ownership, legality and occupants of the structure have not been independently verified.
What is immediately apparent, however, is the building’s alarming appearance.
The structure appears to have been assembled using a patchwork of materials, with zinc sheets serving as part of the side facade.
Several support pillars appear visibly tilted, while water can be seen gushing from a protruding pipe at the top of the building.
The building looked less like a home and more like an accident waiting to happen.

And that was exactly what netizen @CharlesT777 pointed out in the comment section.
“Safety : ZERO. At anytime it can crash just like that. This is the type who watched two to three youtube videos and started building,” he said.
Another netizen lamented that the flat even has electricity and water supply. According to him, ironically Malaysians who renovate without a plan will be subjected to demolition.
Then there was @stephen171003 complaining that the Malays don’t give face to the Indian and Chinese but are more than happy to take in the Rohingya, Bangla and Pakistanis.
Also, @AsahPisau alleged that the Rohingyas turned an abandoned building into the illegal flat shown in the video.
“When the authorities come, just show the UNHCR card,” said a pessimistic @xanDer9ne, adding that this should stop any further intervention.
“The Rohingya are now also brave enough to construct illegal buildings,” pointed out @rdnaiman.
Prompted by the illegal flat, @RedtheNPC warned that soon the Rohingyas will have their own army and begin attacking the locals.
We have Sherlock Holmes among the netizens too:
Whether the building is indeed occupied by Rohingya migrants or not, the larger issue raised by the video is one of enforcement, safety and accountability.
A structure that appears unstable, assembled from improvised materials and potentially housing multiple occupants should concern authorities regardless of who lives inside it.
If the building is legal and safe, the relevant agencies can put public concerns to rest. If it is not, then swift action would be necessary before tragedy strikes.
For now, much of the discussion online remains driven by speculation, frustration and fear. But beyond the accusations and heated comments lies a simple question that deserves an answer: how did a building that looks like this come to exist in the first place, and who was supposed to be watching? —June 9, 2026
