Malaysia’s Chief of Defence Forces General Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin has urged the Myanmar government to resolve the Rohingya crisis before it is exploited by militant group Islamic State (IS) as fodder for its own agenda.

Zulkifli told Myanmar armed forces general Ming Aung Hhaing this and Myanmar President U Htin Kyan during his visit there on Monday, according to a statement from Malaysia’s armed forces released today.

… In their joint commentary in the Singapore Straits Times today, Jasminder Singh and Muhammad Haziq Jani said that the Myanmar government’s treatment of the Rohingya community is being turned into a rallying cry for jihad by Islamist radicals in Indonesia and Malaysia.
