GOMBAK: Malaysia will always be firm and vocal on issues involving oppression against the Rohingya community in Myanmar and consistent in helping the refugees from being denied their rights.
“Malaysia plays a major role especially in Cox’s Bazaar Hospital, Bangladesh, we also help them in the country.
“We have done everything but this issue is still not over, it becomes more prolonged and the number (of ethnic Rohingya) who will flee the country will rise and more will be killed,” he said at a media conference.
He disclosed this after delivering a keynote address in conjunction with the International Symposium on the Path To Justice For The Rohingyas: The International Criminal Court (ICC) & Other International Accountability Mechanisms at the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM), here today.
When asked on Malaysia’s willingness to bring the issue to the International Criminal Court (ICC), he said Malaysia had yet to reach that level because it would take a long time.
“We are in no hurry, but we too cannot take too long because it had prolonged for a long time.
He said too many resolutions and proposals had been made, but the issue had yet to be resolved, and the move to take the issue to the ICC was a drastic suggestion that could become the choice after all other negotiations failed.
“Is the ICC the next option or there are other alternative steps that can be taken to resolve this issue?
“There are ways where we can do things, you don’t have to be radical, you don’t have to be very forceful, but sometimes what is needed is to be tactful but ensuring that you reap the best benefit of it, he said in his keynote address. -- Bernama
