CHAPTER 5: CONCLUSION
5.2 RECOMMENDATIONS .1 MALAYSIA
5.2.5 CITIZENSHIP
US President Barack Obama, during his visit to the Rangoon University in Myanmar, that
"There's no excuse for violence against innocent people .... The Rohingya hold within
themselves the same dignity as you do, and I do." This was in recognition of the silence on the parts of the President and Aung San Syu Kyi.323
although she did not expressly state that the focus was on restoring citizenship to the Rohingya.
There is a lack of awareness and funding towards this issue. Neighbouring countries to Myanmar simply do not include the prevention of statelessness as part of the budget in observing human rights practices. The spread of information and studies on this subject is poor?24 There needs to be more publicity on this issue to alert the depth of their plight325
