“I personally sought the help from a country and when BN ruled, not a single cent of funds was obtained by the Malaysian government or credited to any of the foundations or personal accounts, none at all. We did not even receive a single cent when BN was in power.“And, of course, the aid was work done by the BN government which I personally applied for but we were unlucky because we were no longer in government by then,” he said in the statement which was posted on Umno Online’s YouTube channel.
“The Cabinet committee at the same time decided through UNHCR and through UN agencies that negotiations with third countries would continue. Among them was the provision of RM4 million in food supplies and equipment to Rohingya refugees at the Bangladesh-Myanmar border as well as the construction of a RM3.5 million hospital at Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, the world’s biggest refugee centre.
