Dr M: End the Rohingya crisis now

NEW YORK: Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has sounded the clarion call for the international community to put the Rohingya crisis squarely on its radar with a view to resolving it now. Speaking at his first engagement since arriving in New York for the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), he said it was clear that the Myanmar government was unwilling to take any action to resolve the crisis.

“Therefore, it is left to us, the international community, to do something about the situation, ” Dr Mahathir said at the sidelines of the ‘Rohingya Crisis – A Way Forward’ event at the UN headquarters here on Tuesday.
