Just a Tragic Account of Rohingyas' Lives!

High School Maung Daw. A Neo-Apartheid System in practice in the institution. Rakhine students and Rohingya students are segregated. No Rakhine teacher teaches anything Rohingya students and no Rohingya teachers are given permission to teach at the school.

What immediately comes to your mind when you hear terms such as "a travel permit " or "a stay or residence permit?" A travel permit may be a document that a citizen of a particular country requires to travel to a foreign country. Similarly, a residence permit is a permit document issued to a foreigner for stay in a particular country. Except for travelling to some restricted zones, hardly does any citizen of a country in any a part of the world need a travel document to travel other parts of his/her own country and stay-permit to stay within the country's border. Nevertheless, since 1990, Myanmar authority has been imposing a severe travel restriction on Rohingya community in western Myanmar in order to confine them within their own villages ot townships, or Arakan state, the largest area within which Rohingya people can dream of moving around.

1- Arbitrary Taxation on Rohingyas by Department of Finance and Revenue Maung Daw

By Sindhi Khan | October 2, 2013

Maung Daw, Arakan

Deputy Head of the Department of Finance and Revenue Maung Daw, U Khin Moe Lwin, is collecting arbitrary tax from Rohingya Businessmen, fishery owners and shop-owners. The Government of Myanmar rules that 10% income tax should be paid by the businessmen, traders, shop-owners and others. However, the deputy head is forcing Rohingyas to pay 12% income tax which is against the rule of central government.

Moreover, order from the central government of Myanmar only is only to collect income tax for this year. Despite the income tax amnesty by the central goverment for 2012 due to the violence and economic instability, U Khin Moe Lwin, is forcibly collecting income tax from Rohingyas for both 2012 and 2013 on top of the 2% extra tax charge on 10% regular income tax.
