Rohingya group thanks govt for assistance with refugee registration


PETALING JAYA: A Rohingya rights group has welcomed the government's plan to resolve the problem of registering Rohingya refugees by placing officers from the police and the Immigration Department in UNHCR's "Refugee Status Determination" process.

Myanmar Ethnic Rohingya Human Rights Organization Malaysia (Merhrom) president Zafar Ahmad Abdul Ghani (pic) said they had long been receiving complaints from the Rohingya community that they could not register with the UNHCR despite a five-year wait.
