“NO one is free until everyone is free” is a quote from a speech by the American civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer at the founding of the National Women’s Political Caucus in 1971.

In Malaysia, some people seem to think that everyone is free until they land on our shores. Then they should either go back to where they came from, or they should be locked up in circumstances not dissimilar to what they left.
