COMMENT | Sometimes, it’s quite surprising to see many Malaysians who aren’t in touch with the different social issues surrounding our country and society.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not blaming these Malaysians. Believe me, I understand that people have different lives, different commitments, different problems.

Recently, I brought my journalism students from the University of Wollongong Malaysia to visit a refugee community, the Coalition of Burma Ethnics Malaysia (Cobem), in the heart of Pudu, Kuala Lumpur.
