BAGAN DATUK: Malaysia today urged Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi to tackle the Rohingya conflict and restore the country's image. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said Suu Kyi must take measures to restore order and clear her name following the terror attacks on the Rohingya Muslim minority in Rakhine state. "Malaysia does not intend to be a receiving country for refugees as it would lead to an influx of Rohingya here. "We are working with the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCR) to ensure that refugee cards are not issued indiscriminately. The stateless Rohingya in Rakhine had been the target of terror attacks, forcing them to flee their homes.
