A group representing the management corporation of Waja
Apartments in Taman Tun Perak, Malaysia have protested renting houses to
Africans in Malaysia. Carrying a banner with the words: “Say No To African
People,” they urged all home owners, unit owners, and property agents to desist
from renting or selling houses to people of African decent.
I received this message from a Nigerian living in Malaysia: "This is not the first time, I live here; it has been difficult for Nigerians renting
houses here. The Police maltreat us, the road traffic stop us and of recent they
ban Nigerians from using Nigerian driver's license to drive right here, without any reason or constitution. Please help and share it to the world."
This protest was later condemned by the secretary-general of
the Society for the Promotion of Human Rights Dr Denison Jayasooria, "It's totally unacceptable, it is a racist act and a form
of stereotyping. This is against Malaysian values and is not in line with the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights,”
Also, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam),
confirmed that there is a lot of prejudice in Malaysia against Africans.
“While there have been some bad experiences, we cannot say
that the people are all bad. There is a lack of understanding and exposure. We
must respect diversity and we must remember that people like Nelson Mandela and
Archbishop Desmond Tutu are from Africa,” he added.
That kind of discrimination is by any standard unacceptable but why not equally report the other side of the story also? As to why the Malaysians are doing that?

DeleteI believe not all Africans are scammers, drug pushers, trouble makers ,rapist etc. but a lot are i guess that's why some Malaysians have gone through bigotry, though not all of the countrymen agree with. The problem is that the authorities seem to be turning a blind eye to their activities and so the problem remains. However, my take to all Nigerians looking for fair rent houses, condo, apartments? fair treatment and fair rental, this is it > Rooms for Rent KL
ReplyDeleteThe methodologies can change essentially from state to state and association to association, which is the reason you should constantly check any exploration material or contracts that are given to you to ensure that you fathom what you are ricocheting into. http://ramcolb.com
