I don't understand. Why deport them to China when I'm sure Malaysia or any of the surrounding islamic countries would happily take them in

On what basis are you sure about that?

Is it just "they're all Muslims so what's the difference" or do you actually know what you're talking about?

> Of the 190,370 refugees registered with UNHCR in Malaysia, 630 are Palestinians, according to statistics obtained by MalaysiaNow up to June this year. Malaysia is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol, the key documents that form the basis of UNHCR's work to assist refugees worldwide. However, the country continues to accept those fleeing conflict zones, many of whom are tolerated on humanitarian grounds.

The conditions still suck here because we have so much corruption but the government generally accepts more muslim refugees.

The given number of deportees number only in the dozens. That's definitely within limits of what the system can handle
