Malaysia is one of the most attractive destinations for refugees from different parts of the world. It is a haven country where refugees can venture into new decent lives secured from poverty, discrimination, and political pressure. Similarly, certain European countries are also offering attractive privileges to refugees. Nevertheless, such privileges are gradually diminished due to the impacts of the ongoing financial costs that need to be covered by the countries. This research aims to evaluate regulation policies relating to refugees in Malaysia and the selected European countries, namely Turkey and Germany. Even though Malaysia is not a signatory member of the Refugee Convention 1951, refugees are treated humanly here and they are majorly assisted by Malaysian citizens, NGOs, and other charitable organizations.
