Deputy Foreign Minister Reezal Merican Naina Merican said it was business as usual for the Malaysian Embassy in Yangon and vice-versa.

“In this case, as usual, Malaysia will choose a peaceful approach in solving the humanitarian crisis, especially since it involves an Asean-member country.

“We’re being vocal because of the oppression of the ethnic Rohingyas but at the same time, (we) do not want to intervene in the internal affairs of the country. Now, it seems that the efforts have shown a positive development,” he added.

Reezal was speaking to reporters after presenting aid to over 1,000 Northern Seberang Perai fishermen in Penaga here today.

Myanmar had recently agreed to participate in a meeting involving Asean foreign ministers to discuss the current situation involving the Rohingya community at Rakhine in Myanmar’s northern region.

Meanwhile in another development, Reezal said Malaysia hoped the United States, China, Great Britain, Russia and France would be more serious about discussing the situation in Aleppo, Syria and work to resolve the conflict.
