Complaints of the Prime Minister of Malaysia
He said on Friday (September 23) at the United Nations General Assembly, many people think that the Security Council has put the issue on the shoulders of ASEAN, a regional alliance of Southeast Asian countries.
The Prime Minister of Malaysia said that ASEAN's five-point consensus needs to be discussed with all concerned to stop the violence in Myanmar. It is also necessary to appoint a special envoy.
Myanmar's military seized power from Aung San Suu Kyi's government in February 2021. Then thousands of people were killed there. A new civil war is believed to have started in the country.
Pointing out that there is no visible progress in the implementation of ASEAN's five-point consensus, he said, there is no progress especially from the junta government of Myanmar. Malaysia has been urging Myanmar's military administration to resolve the crisis.
Despite discussions with bilateral, trilateral and other stakeholders, including the United Nations, to create the necessary environment for the safe and dignified repatriation of Rohingya to Myanmar, not a single Rohingya has been sent back to their homeland. The ongoing political unrest and armed conflict in Myanmar has made the repatriation of the displaced Rohingya more difficult, said Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He also called on the United Nations to play an effective role in this regard.
Noting that the prolonged presence of 1.2 million Rohingyas has had a severe impact on Bangladesh's economy, environment, security and social and political stability, Sheikh Hasina said, 'The uncertainty of their (Rohingya) repatriation has created widespread frustration at all levels. Cross-border crime, including human trafficking and drug smuggling, is on the rise. Even this situation can fuel extremism.'
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also warned that if this crisis continues, it may have a serious impact on the global security and stability of the subcontinent.
