Abstract
The Rohingya ethnic minority from the Rakhine state of Myanmar has been forced to become a stateless community currently living in some countries in South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. They are regarded as a persecuted community that has encountered structural inequality and systematic violence in Myanmar for decades due to their religious and ethnic identity. The painful experiences and collective memories remain alive in their diasporic life in the form of verbal arts, poems, and songs (tarana). Rohingyas in Malaysia often take refuge in the taranas for mental peace, for the construction of a political identity, and to envision a better future.
