Najib pledges to be at event in support of Rohingya

UNBOWED by Myanmar’s warning not to attend today’s gathering to highlight the plight of the Rohingya, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak confirmed that he will be there to represent Umno’s solidarity with the plight of the persecuted community.

In his wrap up speech at the Umno assembly, the Prime Minister and Umno president told delegates that the President’s Office of Myanmar had issued a statement saying that if he were to attend the gathering, it would be regarded as interference in Myanmar’s internal affairs.
