Guest: YB Syed Saddiq, MP for Muar

Malaysia hosts around 130,000 registered Rohingya refugees, and unofficial estimates put the number above 200,000. Indonesia hosts fewer than 2,600, and Thailand fewer than 500. With other countries falling short on their promises to resettle refugees, Malaysia has been left to carry much of the load. We speak to Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman about how Malaysia can get more international support, and how to balance security and humanity at home.
