Stuck at sea

There are numbers of boats carrying Rohingya Muslims that are denied entry to Malaysia and at the mercy of many outside influence including human trafficking. Each boat is carrying hundreds of Rohingya Muslims and they have been staying on the water for more than 10 weeks. Malaysia is not accepting Rohingya due to the COVID-19 lockdowns that they have implemented and because for a long time they have always had xenophobic perspectives towards the Rohingya Muslims. The surviving Rohingya Muslims are being quarantined in Bangladesh. The human traffickers that smuggle these people usually try to get the lowest or the weakest ones especially because they have no home.

Seoul Fires

Seoul is experiencing fires because of the very lenient safety rules that it has towards fire protections especially for fire protections for buildings. A warehouse explosion killed 38 workers while releasing a billowing of black toxic smoke in the air. Man made explosions have always plagued South Korea and the President made it a promise to stop them or to prevent it, this could have also decreased morale in the President's government especially the focus was to help prevent and decrease the cases of COVID-19 in South Korea. The explosions were mainly at chemical plants, most places had vapors that had damaged the corpses to the point where investigators needed to do DNA analysis in order to identify the deceased. Through the 1990s past the early 2000s South Koreans have died from explosions in all kinds of corporations.
