Myanmar has agreed to repatriate 5,000 of its nationals currently residing in Malaysia by sea, according to Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. The agreement was conveyed during a meeting between the two countries' foreign ministers, though the cost of repatriation remains undecided. The Malaysian government emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety and wellbeing of those being returned, stating they will act only as facilitators.
The repatriation should occur as soon as possible, as the individuals involved have already been identified. The refugees, including those from various ethnic communities, must be returned under the framework of ASEAN's Five-Point Consensus (5PC), which calls for an immediate cessation of violence and constructive dialogue among all parties.
