HULU LANGAT, Jan 7 — Rohingya nationals who are United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) cardholders have been reminded not to be stubborn in whatever they do and understand their situation is that of a refugee.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the government sympathised with the situation faced by the group but any actions that caused problems to the country would be dealt with.
He said they held UNHCR cards and should not view Malaysia as a ‘cemetery’ country.
“We only help on humanitarian grounds but don’t become big-headed as I do not like anyone to think they are above our laws.
“We do not want any other problems to arise, like the incident at a traffic light in Kuala Lumpur where members of the public were insulted and this shouldn’t be happening in our country,” he told reporters during the MEKAR Prihatin post-flood programme in Taman Sri Nanding near here today.
He said this when asked to comment on the action of Rohingya children found begging and acting aggressively towards motorists around Cheras as had gone viral on social media recently.
