Real Migration Studies in KL
With the true stalwarts of the Migration Civil Society in SE Asia today evening during a community meeting with Bangladeshi workers in Malaysia. Mr. Adrian Pereira, The Executive Director of North South Initiative in Kuala Lumpur and Mr. Harun, the ex Regional Coordinator of CARAM Asia, and the original Bangladeshi community organiser in Malaysia and Singapore. It was interesting and refreshing to understand the evolution of migration civil society in Singapore in the past two decades.
