Malaysia Diaspora Network presents
Malaysia Diaspora Network (MDN) will be bringing together refugees, NGOs, churches, and stakeholders to remember and reflect on the global crisis of displaced people.
About the Day
What is World Refugee Day?
Observed every year on 20 June, World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour the resilience, courage, and contributions of refugees around the world.
It is a moment for the global community to pause — to remember the millions of men, women, and children who have been forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, and crisis, and to reaffirm our shared commitment to protect and support them.
A Gathering for Everyone
Rooted in Faith,
Open to All
This event is organised by the Malaysia Diaspora Network (MDN), a Christian-founded network whose work is rooted in the love of Christ. We believe every person — regardless of where they come from or what they believe — carries inherent dignity and worth.
We warmly welcome participants of all faiths, backgrounds, and walks of life. Whether you are a refugee, a concerned community member, a social worker, a student, a member of an NGO, or simply someone who cares — this event is for you.
There is no religious requirement to attend. Come with an open heart, and together, let us mark this important day with compassion and solidarity.
Event Programme
What to Expect
A meaningful morning of worship, insight, and conversation — bringing together voices from medicine, education, psychology, and spiritual care.
Setting the Scene
A framing session to help attendees understand the global and local landscape of displacement — who refugees are, where they come from, and what their lives look like in Malaysia today.
Panel Discussion: Voices from the Ground
A moderated panel bringing together practitioners from four critical areas of refugee support — hear real stories, challenges, and hope from those working on the frontlines.

About the Organiser
Malaysia Diaspora Network
Founded by Andrew Ng (Founder of ElShaddai Centre), Malaysia Diaspora Network (MDN) is a network of individuals, churches, missionaries, and interested parties united in advancing diaspora missions in Malaysia.
As part of the Global Diaspora Network — a catalytic movement of the Lausanne Movement that seeks to fulfil God’s redemptive mission among, by, and through people on the move — and the Refugee Highway Partnership, a global Christian network committed to serving all forcibly displaced people and strengthening refugee ministries, MDN serves as a bridge of hope.
It reaches out to scattered communities, migrants, and refugees in Malaysia with the love of Christ and the transforming power of the Gospel.
