M'sia calls for talks with Myanmar and Bangladesh

According to Home Ministry secretary-general Datuk Alwi Ibrahim, they had found elements of human trafficking over the unprecedented massive landing of the illegals.
As a step to ensure that the incidents were not repeated, Alwi
said that Malaysia would call for a discussion with Bangladesh and Myanmar.
He added that Thailand would also be involved in the matter since the cases of trafficking of migrants from Bangladesh and Myanmar were also through the Malaysia-Thailand border.
Meanwhile, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation’s (OIC) Special Rep­resentative on Rohingya Muslims Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar said a human tragedy
of “catastrophic proportions” looms if the influx of Rohingya refugees into Malaysia is not dealt with immediately.
Asean should address the issue urgently.
“This problem must be discussed in Asean, especially among the countries involved, namely Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Myanmar.
“Otherwise, it is going to turn into a catastrophe and a human tragedy,” said the long-serving former foreign minister in Kuala Lumpur.
