Generally living condition of Somali refugee community Malaysia is unforgiving. Unemployment is very high, they are racial segregated, making it difficult to even perform the 3D’ Jobs. refugees by law are not Permitted to hold jobs and are expected to sustain household income level of minimum wage RM 1,200. However the majority are only capable of bringing RM 800 to their household.

Among The key points why refugees suffer in Malaysia, is because Malaysia is not signatory to 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol, nor has the country any legal or administrative framework to manage refugees and asylum seekers. Without legal frameworks refugees do not have access to formal employment opportunities, or state-related services like education, skills training, shelter, healthcare, financing, and childcare. Refugees are forced to work in the informal sector, which is accompanied by a greater risk of exploitation and abuse.
