Myanmar has warned its Asean counterpart Malaysia to respect the principle of non-interference after the leader of the Muslim-ruled nation reportedly agreed to attend a protest condemning ongoing military operations in Rakhine State.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s office told AFP that the country’s 63-year-old leader would be taking part in the protest, which has yet to have a confirmed location.
“The major gathering on December 4 is to express our concern over the violence taking place on the Rohingya,” Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi was quoted as saying by the Malay Mail Online on November 29.
In response, deputy director general of the President’s Office Zaw Htay said yesterday that the neighbouring country should respect sovereign affairs. (Courtesy of bangkokpost.com)
