Abstract

ABSTRACT This article investigates how resentment among Malaysians towards Rohingya refugees become amplified on social media during the COVID-19 crisis. The focus of this article is the public discourse of Malaysians on Twitter, regarding Rohingya refugee issues. Through a qualitative content analysis of Tweets from Malaysian users during the country’s Movement Control Order, this article argues that the cause of Malaysians’ grievances was due to the citizens’ echo chambering of implicit insecurities. A deeper problem was also rooted in the nation where the distinction between refugees and undocumented migrants does not exist, and the inconsistencies of government policies towards refugees.

“#SayNoToRohingya”:一项关于2020年新冠肺炎危机期间马来西亚人在推特上放大对罗兴亚难民不满的批判性研究
本文调查了在2019冠状病毒病危机期间,马来西亚人对罗兴亚难民的怨恨如何在社交媒体上被放大。本文的重点是马来西亚人在Twitter上关于罗兴亚难民问题的公共话语。通过对马来西亚用户在行动控制令期间的推文进行定性内容分析,本文认为马来西亚人不满的原因是公民隐性不安全感的回声室。一个更深层次的问题也植根于这个国家,在这个国家,难民和无证移民之间不存在区别,政府对难民的政策也不一致。
