Netizens rage over migrant turning LRT into toilet

LIFE would be so convenient if everywhere is a toilet. But if it was so, could we bear the smell and sight of excrement? 

Certainly not. That said, netizens were furious over a recent video post on X where a child decided to take a piss in a LRT.

To make matters worse, the mother appeared to be indifferent towards his behaviour. The comment section took on a racist tone, with a good number of netizens pointing out her being Rohingya as a problem. 

“That is why we don’t do good to this race. They should be driven back to their country,” said @HafidzHamzah7E.

Also, @FawwazHamiz pointed out that some non-government organizations (NGO) will later advise that we need to educate them.

Another netizen added that the NGOs should come and clean up the mess. “A pity. This is not the fault of the child but the mother,” said @noneednamehere.

“Sometimes I feel weird about this race. Are they Muslims or not,” @namianamhar wondered.

But of course, it is impossible to determine if the lady was a Rohingya just from the brief video. Based on the language she was speaking on the phone, however, it is likely that she is a foreigner.

On another note, how many refugees and asylum seekers are there in Malaysia. 

As of end May 2025, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said a total of 200,260 refugees and asylum-seekers were registered under the organisation in Malaysia.

Some 179,020 are from Myanmar, comprising some 117,670 Rohingyas, 29,620 Chins, and 31,730 other ethnic groups from conflict-affected areas or fleeing persecution in Myanmar. 

The remaining individuals are some 21,230 refugees and asylum-seekers from 50 countries fleeing war and persecution, including some 5,650 Pakistanis, 3,050 Yemenis, 2,780 Somalis, 2,770 Afghans, , 2,520 Syrians, 1,030 Sri Lankans, 500 Palestinians, 440 Iraqis, and others.  

According to UNHCR, some 64% of refugees and asylum-seekers are men, while 36% are women. —July 7, 2025
