00:04Sleeping on the floor today, I can be the boss tomorrow.
00:08This classic slogan inspires working people to start their own businesses.
00:11This is happening to a Rohingya refugee.
00:14In the past, many Rohingya people fled persecution and war in their homeland.
00:18chaos
00:18He eventually arrived in Malaysia seeking asylum.
00:20Some people arrived with almost nothing.
00:23He can only make a living by doing odd jobs.
00:25However, 20 years have passed
00:27The experiences and lives of some Rohingya refugees in Malaysia
00:30But earth-shattering changes have taken place.
00:33There is a Rohingya man in Dana Merah, Kelantan.
00:37From needing someone to lend me money back then
00:39Now I'm not just my own boss.
00:42Operating large-scale plantation areas
00:44He even hired Malaysians to work for him.
00:47How exactly did he do it?
00:49According to the Metropolitan Daily News
00:51This Rohingya man 20 years ago...
00:54When we arrived at this Kampung Bocharoth
00:57Initially, he just worked in the villagers' vegetable gardens.
01:00Until three years ago, he began leasing land from local residents.
01:03Transforming a remote hilly area
01:06The area has been cultivated into a areca leaf plantation of more than two hectares.
01:11Although the rent is as high as several thousand ringgit
01:13But he still managed to build his business up step by step.
01:16The harvest was also shipped to Penang, the Klang Valley and other states for sale.
01:21The local villagers revealed this first.
01:23What about this man?
01:24He once told him
01:25Each shipment of areca leaves to other states
01:28Sales can even reach as high as RM10,000
01:32Yeah, it's very profitable.
01:33What surprised the villagers even more was
01:35He didn't even have a means of transportation back then.
01:38Now it's not just motorcycles.
01:39There are also cars
01:40There are trucks and even lorries.
01:42The villagers said
01:43This man sometimes rides a motorcycle.
01:45Sometimes he drives his McVeigh sedan
01:48When it's time to receive the goods?
01:49So I switched to driving a truck.
01:50As the business grew bigger and bigger
01:53He also hired dozens of workers.
01:55Including employees who also come from the Rossian ethnic group
01:58And those responsible for driving lorries and trucks
02:00Kelantan local residents
02:03Some local villagers sighed.
02:04Back in the day...
02:06The man lived in poverty.
02:08Where are you all?
02:08I also often treated him to meals.
02:10He also occasionally provided financial assistance.
02:11I never imagined that twenty years would pass.
02:13He went from being a working-class person
02:14The secret meeting became a matter of hiring locals.
02:17One of his bosses who worked for him.
02:19The resident said
02:20Seeing him now
02:21To manage a piece of woodland
02:23Neat and orderly plantation
02:25How can they support so many people through business?
02:28He couldn't help but sigh
02:29These Rossians were indeed very hardworking.
02:32As long as there is an opportunity to make money
02:34I'm willing to work hard.
02:36Limin villager Yaci also said
02:38Although they rented land in the village to farm
02:40But normally...
02:41Do you live in other places?
02:42To this day?
02:43It did not cause any trouble to the villagers.
02:45All I can say is
02:46Changes over the past two decades
02:47It did indeed benefit the villagers who had helped him back then.
02:50Look at me with new eyes
02:51But...
02:52With the recent developments in Malaysian society
02:53Anti-Rossiy refugee sentiment is escalating
02:55Especially concerning the resettlement and management of Rossi refugees and their economic activities, etc.
03:00question
03:00More and more controversies are emerging
03:02What about this plantation?
03:04This immediately attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies.
03:07According to the latest news...
03:08This is a areca leaf garden of more than two hectares.
03:11It has recently been seized by the Dana Merah County Council.
03:14According to the notice posted at the scene
03:16The landholder is suspected of violating the land use conditions.
03:20Because the land in question was originally designated for planting rubber trees.
03:24However, it was used to grow areca leaves.
03:26Local villagers are also worried.
03:27If more and more land is rented to outsiders
03:31More management issues are likely to arise in the future.
