Young and Stateless in Sabah – New Naratif
Wong Kueng Hui, a stateless individual in Malaysia, has faced significant challenges due to his status. Despite his aspirations to tour overseas with a punk band, his statelessness confines him to Malaysia. Wong's life in Keningau, Sabah, has been marked by exploitative work, including a grueling job as a bus conductor where he worked excessive hours for less than the minimum wage. His employer paid him only RM 500 instead of the promised RM 800, citing meal allowance deductions. This personal story highlights the broader issues of statelessness and labor exploitation in Malaysia.
