This paper will first provide an introduction to the reality in Aceh and then a summary of the Malaysian government’s position on refugees. Then the bulk of the information gained by interviews will look at why the refugees left Aceh, their life in Malaysia, and their political hopes for the future. The paper will conclude with a brief analysis of the current situation and its broader implications. The intent of this report is to provide the reader with an overview of the day-to-day reality of an Acehnese refugee living in Malaysia and to place this reality within the context of a broader political and social spectrum.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.  Author:  Tribbett, John.

Focusing on Malaysia, this paper discusses how human insecurity has led to human trafficking, which in turn constitutes a threat to every state’s national security. The paper discusses the concept of human security, and in that context discusses the magnitude of the trafficking problem today, and its implications for Malaysia’s security in general. The paper concludes that in planning for security it is crucial to include the protection of the individual inhabitants of a country, in addition to the protection of the state itself--recognizing that the people’s survival and well-being is essential to the health and survival of the nation.  Publication: 4th International Malaysian Studies Conference; 3-5 August 2004, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi.  Author: Zarina Othman.
