Cancelling football matches and holding solidarity gatherings are not enough if Malaysia is serious in making a stand against the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar, said opposition leader Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
In taking aim at Prime Minister Najib Razak, Wan Azizah said although the Umno president had expressed sympathy towards the plight of the Rohingya at the party’s recently concluded general assembly, she questioned why Malaysia was not doing anything on the global stage, seeing that it holds the position as a Non-Permanent Member of the UN Security Council.
“The genocide of the Rohingya currently taking place in Myanmar is truly a major tragedy in human history. This tragedy is being witnessed by Malaysians and the entire world. Even so, the Malaysian government seems unwilling to act on this tragedy,” she said in a statement today. (Courtesy of freemalaysiatoday.com)
