“The three things we brought up were bringing the perpetrators to justice, the deportation of Rohingyas and the commitment to increase humanitarian efforts,” he told the Malaysian press at a short press conference here today. “Whenever the issue of Rohingya comes up, it cannot be separated from the main issue which is citizenship. Malaysia is probably the only country that discusses the citizenship issue.
“Malaysia is committed to increasing humanitarian aid that we have been carrying out, one is is Cox’s Bazar and the second is within Malaysia as we have a lot of refugees in our country, so this was brought up last night,” he said. The Rohingya crisis has spun out across the region, with desperate Rohingya taking to boats bound for Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
