Pak Anwar knows very well that there is no way to monitor the situation on the ground in Myanmar to "ensure those being returned are protected..." He also knows that UNHCR @Refugees has been assisting Malaysia in supporting the Rohingya refugee population and has been working with his government to set up a system for asylum seekers. The January 2026 launch of the Dokumen Pendaftaran Pelarian (DPP) was an important step towards a nationally-owned solution that would protect people forced to flee their country and create a framework for their temporary status in Malaysia. But Pak Anwar has instead decided to throw this option out the window and forcibly repatriate vulnerable Myanmar refugees back into a war zone where women and children are being killed by air strikes when they go out to buy vegetables. On top of this, Malaysia announced they will soon host Myanmar's tormentor--the very man who orchestrated the genocidal attacks on the Muslim-minority Rohingya and continues to foment religious hatred to this day, and who then launched the 2021 coup that plunged the country into wholesale civil war. I again urge Malaysia to return to the DPP process, work with @unhcr_malaysia on durable solutions, end this dangerous refoulement of Myanmar refugees, and respect the @ASEAN #FivePointConsensus with regard to engagement with the illegal Naypyidaw regime. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Urgently calling on PM @anwaribrahim & the Malaysian authorities to suspend refoulement of Rohingya refugees. Reports of air strikes in Rakhine State--which have killed more than 50 people just this week--clearly demonstrate the conditions do not exist for safe returns @MalaysiaMFA
