When i went to east investigates why so many foreigners of beijing locked up in malaysias lockdown. While whom pools migrant neighborhoods around the sage any identified as areas with high infection rights have been locked in behind bob wire and barricades. This is part of malaysias response to coded 19 across the city people are being taken from their homes fingerprinted tested for the disease and shipped to valid documents those without them swiftly. Taking a last. Minute on the shot. You realize whats going on. Were not allowed inside they spend stuff buried. That phone footage from local residents gives us a glimpse inside the crackdown. Shortly after one right i speak with true migrants from bangladesh. Cant debates about gets out of this any one of them tells me hes afraid to leave his apartment because he doesnt have a valid work permit he managed to avoid arrest by hiding weve been trying to get witness testimony from paypal but as you can say theres police there we conquered through the wire.

They often traffic but i did seize exploited and trap them in a site. Debs. Soon after the pen to make was declared malaysias defense minister ismail sabri called the amnesty so they would come forward and be tested for the virus they did it for by their document but there are none record that pick it up for. Some i dont recall any but it. Could be 19 at the border but if you need more what setting and that surprised them will get by by living by x. 3 board. Yeah kind of liken it to. Malaysias migrants say that promise now feels like a brutal betrayal. Right one could be a lived in chowk years a district known for its bazaars and curry houses the bangladeshi migrant shows me footage of what happened after the area was locked down behind razor wire raihan says when he heard a knock on his apartment door he thought it was government workers coming to test the code 19 or deliver i instead over the next few days almost 600 residents were rounded up pushing trucks and taken away did make a trap for us to make good food they give medication all due to give. So no one expecting there are going to address the people theyre not theyre not creamy no. Theyre just undocumented. Right han has a valid work permits but his friends these are an expired free doorway was swiftly taken away by immigration officials he also has been arrested in this time it was not his fault his companion ever he knew his be so. You know i dont i dont die musician and on the Police Station i cry in the gate police let me meet my friends.

But his visa expired during the lock down when it was impossible to renew it but it didnt come up in the budget. It was alluding to the. Poor hard says if the all forces i aim is to contain the bars cramming people together in immigration trucks is counterproductive. But did in a rather get. Another tidbit in the loop in the last time i was there like a lot of us from the bottom to the detriment of the way our struggle. So hard has since discovered that 3 people from the right and buildings have tested positive the courage of don t. He feels they could have infected him and many others. Have not especially in the. Activity. And have to do this. For hard story makes right hon if hes friends help. He hasnt heard from ray doing since his arrest. Today rihanna is meetings to meet that hes not a human rights lawyer who specializes in helping Migrant Workers so when did he become undocumented if you settled last year this company. Okies company go bankrupt then boss old saw hiding his visitor and he knew. He had to loan money everything so he demanded when did ok bt attempt to go to the Labor Department to file a case against his employer. Missed. The people like damn here labor here how do you. Think we dont know you that anyway just want to meet my friend is there any way so there is no visitation to any of the. Detention center this is not only for the nationals even the lawyers can point to their Detention Centers to see the yeah. Its all closed for now. Theres little he can do to hold. It right hon drives to the Detention Center anyway hoping to at least catch a glimpse of his friend. He can. To see if hes ok because detainees arent allowed phones when they come here i become emotional ice is unbearable for me i cannot meet him i dont know is eating or not i going to give him the food im very much worried about him ryan came to malaysia 6 years ago to study and now works in marketing he says he loves his job and living here but this crackdown has changed the way raihan sees the nation and made him think about leaving this is a total a clear act of racism doesnt think here act of humility people so the so i feel the scale of the future of the migrant people i dont think that the people will keep to trust again for the government because they were afraid. Detention centers have now become hot spots because at 19 with more than 700 reported cases rights advocates say the recent influx of migrants into these already crowded facilities has created perfect conditions for the virus to spread but malaysias defense minister rejects the criticism that are going to record them by going to enter by a window rejected to set the record that he got that i didnt.

Well it makes our job bit more complicated i will say if there is someone or a group of people who are there not to be positive later and we miss them and then big on 3 fact others and then and then create another cluster or 2 which which then will create further problems. Malaysias coded 19 response has successfully contained the initial spread of the virus but dr.
