JOHOR BARU: An Asean solution through the network of its member countries must be taken to deal with the Rohingya refugees issue before it becomes a deadlier humanitarian catastrophe, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (pic).

The prime minister in stating Malaysia's stand as Asean chairman, said it was not only the concern of Asean leaders but was also voiced out by regional and international leaders, including United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
