“…How can we build durable solutions if we cannot imagine post-emergency trajectories? This is pertinent especially as one the most durable solution to the Rohingya predicament seems to become even less attainable as Myanmar re-descended into turmoil following the coup in March 2021 (Susetyo & Chambers, 2021). It also prevents us from understanding how borders-in this regard, Southeast Asian borders-operate beyond the emergency context.…”

“…Children living in these detention centers and temporary shelters 4 have little or no access to educational services [21,35]. Since the outbreak of conflict in the Rakhine state in 2012, hundreds 5 of Rohingya (boat people 6 ) have also found themselves stranded in the Malacca Strait and most of them have eventually taken shelter in Indonesia [36]. In 2015, the Indonesian government admitted 200 Rohingya children to boarding schools [37]; and recently issued a circular note to include refugee children from selected areas in formal education [38].…”

The Rohingyas, the longest-standing stateless refugees in Malaysia, are continuously denied access to formal education. The UN Refugee Agency and local non-government organizations run learning centers that offer non-formal education to Rohingya children. Existing literature highlights that, in the absence of formal openings, alternative educational programmes remain the main provider of refugee education in Malaysia. This study, using the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies' five-domain framework, examines the educational standards provided to Rohingya refugees in Malaysia. The findings suggest that most learning centers lack financial, human, and infrastructural resources. Lack of opportunity for secondary schooling makes primary education less worth it. Moreover, prevailing cultural and religious norms make it challenging for Rohingya children (especially girls) to access educational opportunities outside the community. National examinations and academic accreditation for learning are inaccessible to refugees, including Rohingyas. This paper deliberates on some immediate and long-term measures that can potentially address these issues. However, all actors, including UNHCR and the Malaysian government, must collaborate towards formulating a sustainable solution to this critical problem.

“…Facing the same situation as a refugee coming into Malaysia, they are fleeing because of several circumstances or factors like oppression or not enough money. Rohingyas typically enter Indonesia in one of two ways: either illegally through Malaysia (crossing the Malacca Strait or Singaporean seas) or straight over the Andaman Sea (from Bangladesh or Arakan State) (Susetyo & Chambers, 2020). Choosing Indonesia as a gateway nation is not the greatest choice for the Rohingya people.…”

Majority of ASEAN member countries consider themselves to be non-immigrant countries. As a result, the majority of ASEAN countries are not perfect locations for immigrants to settle. However, all states are bound by the non-refoulment principle laid down under Customary International Law in which, the states are prohibited to return the refugee to their original country where there was danger known around them. Hence, in the absence of a formal mechanism produce by the ASEAN region for the protection of refugees, Malaysia and Indonesia perform their efforts and experiences in terms of handling refugees. The paper explains the comparison of how the policy and law on refugees within Malaysia and Indonesia by referring to the case study on the Rohingya people crisis and also the Vietnamese boat people. The qualitative method has been chosen to explain the literature of the paper. This paper also discusses on how both countries respond to the right of a refugee within their sovereignty since they are non-signatory states to the 1951 Refugee Convention. As a result, the paper intends to elaborate on to what extent the laws and policies apply to the refugee according to the Malaysia and Indonesia experiences.
