A human rights lawyer is urging the Malaysian government to educate its citizens about the ongoing struggles faced by the Rohingya community. Eric Paulsen referenced a 2016 rally, attended by former Prime Minister Najib Razak, demonstrating past Malaysian solidarity with the Rohingya. He emphasized the importance of maintaining this compassion as the crisis continues. The call for education aims to foster understanding and support for Rohingya refugees and those still in Myanmar. Paulsen’s statement highlights a concern that public awareness and empathy may be waning. This appeal comes as the Rohingya population continues to face persecution and displacement. The lawyer believes increased education is a crucial step towards continued Malaysian support.
