Go Back To Where You Came From - Reflection

- My initial view was that the show would be a very interesting social experiment conducted by educated people
-
- I think it's due in part to the lack of education about the issue, but the real problem lies in the difficulties concerned with actually processing the asylum seekers - many who are in favour of receiving the illegal immigrants don't understand that a lot needs to be done in respect to making sure the arrivals are legally registered (without which they cannot receive the benefits afforded to citizens)
- Between Denmark and Cyprus
- The Commonwealth has unquestionable obligation to assist those who ask (or, in this case, who risk their lives) but the problem lies in, as previously discussed, the difficulty in processing arrivals is immense. There is an imperative need to read into both sides of the issue, as governments try to do, and although as signatories to the UN convention we have acknowledged the rights of asylum seekers but difficulties still lie in the issue - difficulties that we are always trying to solve.
- Refugees have no definitive advantage in terms of benefits.
- About 11
- It means Malaysia could be liable to possible mistreatment of refugees, and that the refugees residing there may not be afforded basic protections
