Obey Malaysian regulations or action will be taken, Anwar tells Rohingya refugees

KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has reminded Rohingya refugees in the country to comply with local laws and regulations at all times or face firm action.

He said that although Malaysia adopts a humanitarian approach, the group remains subject to the country's legal system, including regulations governing the use of premises and the operation of businesses.

“My advice to Myanmar nationals, particularly the Rohingya, is that they must also comply with the regulations in our country. Their buildings and businesses must adhere to the rules. If they do not, we will have no choice but to take action,” he said.

The Prime Minister said this to reporters after performing Friday prayers at Masjid Al-Hidayah in Sentul here today. — Bernama
