We reiterate that it is pleasure to welcome the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD). But any positive changes that translate the hopes and aspiration of the people of Burma will only be possible through a meaningful dialogue with the representatives of the all non-Burman ethnic nationalities.
It is to be mentioned that, unlike other people in Burma, the serious problems being faced by the Rohingyas of Arakan have distinct characters which need to be redressed, with human rights consideration, on the principle of parity, justice and equality.
We are deeply grateful to international community for its endeavour for the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. In this connection, the contribution of Malaysia with Dr. Mahathir Mohamed, as an ASEAN country, and specially the untiring efforts of the UN special envoy Tansri Razali Ismail, who brokered the release, is worthy of the highest praise.
