Malaysia questions Myanmar's handling of Rohingya issue

Calling all to help: Dr Ahmad Zahid urges NGOs critical of Malaysia

MANILA: Malaysia has strongly questioned the manner in which Myanmar addressed the Rohingya issue, saying that the country had denied permission for the international community to provide humanitarian aid to the ethnic group and, more disappointingly, killed Rohingya women and children as well.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (pic) said Malaysia had no intention to meddle in Myanmar's domestic affairs but it could not accept the Myanmar crackdown on the Rohingya community and wanted the issue to be resolved in a democratic way and in accordance with international standards.
