A chin refugee, Mr. Za Hnin (37) from Leitak village was hit by a car on 20th December, 2009 at Jalan Loke Yew, Kuala Lumpur. The accident happened when he was crossing the highway between his friend house and his residence. He was injured several places on his head and his face. His thigh also is broken and was admitted to UKM hospital.
“When Mr. Za Hnin crossed the highway alone and hit by a car to break his leg and unable to walk, he had nobody to call for help around him. But after a moment, the rescuers from fire department arrived and called Ambulance to rush him to the hospital. When the Ambulance arrived, one of Chin refugee, who lives near Za Hnin’s residence, accompanied him to the hospital before the Chin Community Committee worker arrived. Right now, everything is going well and we had already done every thing in the hospital but we still cannot find out the driver” his friend said.
“Mr. Za Hnin, holder of UNHCR card and lives in cramp flat with his wife and one child, has financial problem for his medical treatment. He gained registration as refugee on September this year and he still have to stay in Malaysia for two or three years and needs to take care of his family in Malaysia. We really worry that whether he will recover properly” the roommate said.
Previously, One of Mr. Za Hnin’s roommate also was hit by a car and admitted to General Hospital in Kuala Lumpur but he paid RM 7,000 for recovery.
In Malaysia, Local NGOs as well as Legal Aid cannot help this kind of accident cases in court except supporting the patients financially .

Some refugees in Malaysia have died due to car accident. ACR social worker Pu TLuang Hei and chairman of Chin Exiled Student Union Salai John Ceu Cung Nung were hit by careless drivers in Malaysia within this year. There were other refugees, too. But what obvious is that, the Malaysia authorities are not taking any action for those criminals who killed innocent people just because the victims were refugees or illegal migrants. I wish the Malaysia authorities should trace such cases and take action against negligent drivers so that drivers would be more careful. If they want, they can easily trace those cases and find 'em. But since the victims are refugees, they neglect it. So sadfull. Refugees are also Human Being. They have Human Rights. It is not right that they are neglected just because they are refugees

There will be many "whys" the authorities do not take action but how is it possible that they can easily disrespect the value of their fellow human beings who are under their hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God be with them, I pray!
