Najib: Asean's minority Muslim communities must seek autonomy, not independence

KUALA LUMPUR: Muslims minority communities in Asean countries that are struggling for greater rights should not seek independence but rather meaningful autonomy, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said that Muslim communities in countries such as the Philippines, Thailand and Myanmar must be made to understand that they must live under their current national governments and do their part to contribute towards their respective country's moral and social well being.
