MEMORANDUM TO THE
MYANMAR EMBASSY IN MALAYSIA.
STOP THE ETHNIC
CLEANSING AND SUPPRESSION OF ROHINGYA IN MYANMAR, ALLOW HUMANITARIAN AID EFFORT
AND START A LONG TERM HUMANE SOLUTION ADDRESSING THE PLIGHT OF THE ROHINGYA
PEOPLE IN MYANMAR.
We refer to the above and the
recent reports on the alleged acts of genocide, ethnic cleansing and
suppression of the Rohingya people at Arakan Province, Myanmar. We strongly
condemn these inhumane actions against the Rohingya people and call for
immediate action by the Myanmar government to resolve the crisis and restore
calm and public order in the Arakan Province.
We, the Malaysian people hereby
demand the followings to be implemented immediately:
1.
That
the Myanmar government immediately act upon these allegations and put a stop to
the killings and the act of atrocities committed against the Rohingya Muslim
minority in the Arakan Province.
We
would like to strongly protest the acts of the Myanmar government in its unjust
and double standard treatment of the Rohingyas ethnics in Myanmar.
We
also call for the ASEAN member countries to demand that the killings and
atrocities on the Rohingyas be halted immediately.
A
review of Myanmar's membership in ASEAN must be made if Myanmar continuously refuses
to act to stop the carnage.
We call
for the United Nations to convene immediately for a special emergency session
to resolve the plight of the Rohingya Muslims by pressuring Myanmar to comply
by the UN Universal Human Rights Declaration on matters pertaining to
protection of minority rights.
2.
We
demand the Myanmar government to give access for humanitarian aid: food,
medical aid and supplies to the Rohingyas through the international relief
agencies monitored by the United Nations or ASEAN or the Organisation of
Islamic Countries (OIC).
We
demand that the humanitarian aid agencies be allowed to proceed in the
flashpoint districts; Maungdaw, Akyab and Bathidung within the Arakan Province where
thousands of Rohingyas had fled for safety especially at the Bangladesh border,
the only route out to avoid from the spiraling massacre.
3.
Lastly,
we demand that dialogue for the long term peace plans for the Rohingyas to begin
between the United Nations, ASEAN and OIC with the Myanmar government.
We
call for a reconciliation and national dialogue to be held to restore the
citizenship of the Rohingyas in Myanmar and to recognize their rights as
minorities.
The
Rohingyas citizenship which was unrightfully taken away by your government in
1982 must be reinstated to show and prove to the world community that the
Myanmar government are humane and tolerant to all its people.
We have strong faith that the
Buddhist religion and its practices do not condone any act of violence. We
believe Buddha will not condone the discrimination and inhumane act towards the
Rohingyas which may lead to bad karma to the Myanmar people.
We can assure the Myanmar people
that if you treat any human being well, more good and prosperity will come to
Myanmar.
We believe that the act of
aggression committed will only bring disgrace to Myanmar and the Myanmar
government in the long term which will affect your country’s reputation among
the international community.
Justice must not only be spoken, but must be acted upon!
