Hopes Are High For New Myanmar Government To Solve Rohingya Issues - DMDI

MELAKA: The soon-to-be formed Myanmar's new government led by Aung San Suu Kyi is hoped to take the necessary and effective measures to resolve issues involving the Rohingyas in the country, says President of the Malay World Muslim World (DMDI), Senator Tan Sri Mohd Ali Rustam.

The senator said it was also hoped that the new government would be more open and democratic, and would recognise the ethnic minority so that they could live like normal citizens of Myanmar.

He said the issues, which include the recognition as citizens, security protection and human rights, involving the Rohingyas should be resolved immediately so that the community would not become refugees in their own country.

"This is in line with the resolutions of the 16th DMDI Convention held in Jakarta in October last year, which called on Myanmar to take the responsibility for the Rohingyas.

"It is hoped that the NLD (National League for Democracy) under Suu Kyi's leadership would give the recognition to the Rohingyas, and not let be refugees," he told Bernama through an SMS here today. (Courtesy of Malaysian Digest)
