More problems in Myanmar


Barnabas Ki Ning fled military-ruled Myanmar to relatively prosperous Malaysia, but found life is not a lot rosier. The 29-year-old teacher from Myanmar's ethnic Chin minority can't find a job, is denied refugee status and forced to squat in a crowded two-bedroom flat in Kuala Lumpur. "We are struggling here. I have no proper income and have to rely on others for rent and food," said Ki Ning, who faces jail in a country which regards him as an illegal immigrant.
