The Hundred/Hundred Project

The Hundred/Hundred is a writing project that challenges Malaysians to write under a unifying theme with one small catch: all writings must be 100 words exactly. No more, no less. 

My submission below was shortlisted and you may order the book for RM35 here.

Today 6.5 million people have been displaced due to war and prosecution.

While I lament and struggle with work visas and open call restrictions, they are treated as less than human; for being gay, for having an opinion, for believing in a different god, or for being born on the wrong side of this man-made border.
