  1. I was one of the victims of statelessness here in Sabah, Malaysia. I still currently am stateless, that means I can't find a decent job, can't get a driver license, cannot access free healthcare service and basically I cannot do many things legally. I was born here, but being treated like I was one of the illegal immigrants. Anyway, thank you for those who willingly help to solve statelessness in this country.

  2. Very sad situation, and I'll hope that reasonable good will come to these people. The or a man interviewed for this TRNN report is only 45 years old and can't work anymore, gradually dying. NOT a good situation! This is NOT at all good. Govts spend billions of $$ on military, war, and other awful activities but don't have heart to provide help for such impoverished people? Damn SICK. Why the hell do people vote for political elections, when it's improving basically NOTHING, I wonder. People vote, don't really understand what they're voting for, we find ourselves with more hell, and this damn "wheel keeps on turning", non-ending. There's a lot of wrong with this. Humans supposedly are the most advanced, developed species of animals, yet we're the damn worst. Peculiar.

  3. When I was a young child, I lived in a tiny village in Malaysia, on the island of Penang. No one called those people criminals or illegal immigrants and Penang is now a thriving area. Malaysia is being short sighted by failing to help its citizens build a better life.

  4. The South Africa of Southeast Asia. One third of the country's population lack rights yet they are integral for the formal economy of producing electronics, semiconductors, automobiles, and products essential to the global production chain. Imperialism operates through subjecting foreigners in the region to high levels of oppression to benefit the metropolitan and settler states that control the world's wealth.

  5. Sabah has issued millions of fake identity cards, and there are still stateless people???? How ironic is that????

  6. Being stateless is not the same as being an illegal alien. Ilegals have a country those whom are stateless have no country. Big difference.😎🐯

  7. In this day and age .. poverty shouldn’t exist .. but rich white countries can’t fulfil their desires , because they are still thirsty for some black / brown blood .. things need to change fast ..

  8. Deep poverty always means “they don’t owe a government anything or have to pay taxes”. Funny how deep poverty people have no debt.

  9. More places should be stateless. Obviously not impoverished. I hope these people get the help they need. I do however hope they stay stateless.

    Government is slavery.

  10. So sad 😭😭 😭😭 😭😭 😭😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  11. It almost sounds like what happened to the DACA youth in the US.
    Give them all "documentation" to "help" them now, but use it to round them up later.

  12. Southeast Asia is a basketcase (except Singapore and Brunei).

    NATO powers never say anything because they benefit from the neoliberal feudalism they have imposed on most countries (IMF).

  13. Why can't all human's goals be to help as many people as possible instead of endless wars And hurting people. The human race is a disgrace and 99% of all governments are self serving.

    Thank god for the few who care.
    Thank you for educating us!

  14. Thank you TRRN for covering this.
    Here in Malaysia, the some of the locals can be pretty much xenophobic towards legal or illegal immigrants and also stateless people. The social medias do not help at all since everyone can make up stories and express their disdain towards these people.
    Most people in Malaysia do not understand the reason why these people do not have citizenship in the first place. Like some people in Sabah, there are from the Bajau Tribe ie they are nomad living in the sea. When they were born, they were not registered because they were born in boats in the sea. Their children also cannot get citizenship because of that.
    I live in Peninsula Malaysia. When I was a kid, my dad was an officer of Registry Department, dealing with birth certificate and ID card. I remember he had to spent days deep in Malaysian jungle so he could register new born babies by the native tribe. Some native tribe live really deep in the jungle, there no access to registration. So, I pretty understand how this problem happened. Right now, what Malaysian government is going to do about it as this issue in Sabah has been on for decades.
