Christian group sends hope to Rohingyas via food flotila

The Association of NextGen Christians of Malaysia (ANCOM) joined the coalition of humanitarian NGOs led by the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organisations (Mapim) and Kelab Putera 1Malaysia to support the mission to deliver humanitarian aid to the Rohingyas in Myanmar via a food flotilla.

ANCOM advisor Jason Leong said the group felt deeply the pain and suffering of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and wanted to do their part to help.

“We stand with those who suffer in our words, prayers and deeds,” he said in a statement on Friday.

“As such, we urge more Christians to speak up and stand in solidarity with Muslims with regard to the Rohingya situation because this issue now is much larger than a Myanmar-only problem; it affects every single one of us globally as humans because it is a humanitarian crisis,” he said while referring to the atrocities committed against the ethnic minority in the country.
