KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia has criticized the stance taken by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on the Rohingya refugees crisis, saying the reality on the ground is being misrepresented.
Malaysia's foreign minister, Anifah Aman, said late Sunday that the ASEAN chairman's statement released on the same day was one-sided and lacked substance. The Philippines government issued the chairman's statement to reflect the general views of ASEAN.
