Malaysia to invite Myanmar’s Min Aung Hlaing for Rohingya repatriation talks

Refugees from Myanmar, particularly ethnic Rohingya, have faced worsening hostility in recent months in Malaysia, where they are accused of causing social problems and taking over small local businesses in areas where they have set up temporary settlements.
Muslim-majority Malaysia is a key destination for Rohingya refugees fleeing religious persecution by successive Myanmar administrations and sectarian violence in Rakhine state over the past decade.
