Bangladesh PM says illegal migrants taint national image

[Aung Zaya]

Japan is assisting with a soft loan for Matarbari - Japan will give nearly 4 billion while BD will put in nearly 1 billion dollars.

LOl..!! 4.3B dollar MATARBARI 1200MW POWER PROJECT:.. is now 5 B project..? when it will become 6B..? LOL

You are talking to a citizen of a country where their government anounced 10% and above growth rate since 1992 yet their living standard did not move a bit. After opening up seems like some external cash is flowing in, and we have to wait few more years before we can say in which direction their economy is moving.

LOL..

If you two knew that our Buddhist population is mostly concentrated there, would you still say the same thing?

nothing to say..!! the reason we cant accept them is not for their religion but for being illegal people..

 

[dray]

LOL - so factual information is bragging then?

You Indians are not in the league of a unitary state like BD.

BD is most similar to Sri Lanka in S Asia and that is the only country that BD looks up to in S Asia.

BD will soon pass India in GDP/Capita and then the idea of comparing India and BD will be laughable.

Again, more bragging in FUTURE TENSE!!

This guy Rain Man hates Bangladesh so much.You guys are called Bangladeshis once you go to UK and when return back to West Bengal you call yourself Indians. So don't hate Bangladesh.

I don't hate Bangladesh, I rather dislike the bragging of PDF Bangladeshis, and their unresonable hatred towards India, that too when we have always supported Bangladesh from its birth to till date.

And no, we are not called Bangladeshis anywhere, rather Bangladeshis are called Indians in foreign countries. Very few people outside the subcontinent know about Bangladesh, you are yet to leave any mark in the world!

Myanmar once again brands Rohingya Muslims as Bangladeshis

Myanmar has once again banked on its old trick to describe Rohingya Muslims as "Bengalis" to avoid responsibilities amid growing international pressure on it to rescue thousands of boatpeople trapped at sea.

Following the rescue of 208 people from a boat on Thursday, Myanmar government officials claimed all of them were from Bangladesh and they would be deported to Bangladesh soon.

But government officials and experts on migrant issues in Dhaka termed it a “ploy” to push Rohingyas into Bangladesh.

Myanmar does not recognise the Rohingya population as its citizen.

Its claim came under fire as Reuters news agency found at least eight Rohingya Muslims among the 208, after interviewing a group of them at Kyauk Taw in Rakhine state where the rescued have been kept.

A team of Bangladesh officials will go there today or tomorrow to interview them, said a top foreign ministry official.

“If anyone is a confirmed Bangladeshi citizen, we'll instantly arrange for his repatriation,” the official added.

In another development, the Border Guard Bangladesh yesterday sought a complete list from Myanmar of those rescued.

Previously, the Myanmar authorities sent an “incomplete” list of 200 people, claiming they were Bangladeshis. The list does not contain particulars of those rescued in detail.

THE DENIAL

Over the recent years, thousands of “stateless” Rohingya and desperate fortune-seekers from Bangladesh embarked on dangerous sea voyages to Malaysia and other countries.

A recent crackdown on the people-smuggling trade in Thailand led to scores of migrants being abandoned by trafficking gangs in the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Myanmar authorities are labelling the rescued as Bangalees.

Even when the international media reported that several thousand Rohingya and Bangladeshi people are floating in the sea, Myanmar Vice-president U Nyan Tun on May 21 said most of the boatpeople were not from his country.

On the same day, its information ministry cited Nyan Tun saying the assumption that people are fleeing the state due to suppression and discrimination are completely at odds with what is happening on the ground, although some people may be trying to migrate for economic reasons.

The next day, Myanmar's military commander-in-chief said some boatpeople landing in Malaysia and Indonesia were “pretending to be Rohingya Muslims” to receive UN aid and that the “boat victims” were from Bangladesh, according to Reuters.

"This is nothing but the continuation of its [Myanmar's] policy," said Prof Delwar Hossain of international relations department at Dhaka University.

Bangladesh is already under international pressure to take in more Rohingyas, and Myanmar's denial and trick would result in more pressure on Bangladesh, he observed.

"Bangladesh has to expedite its diplomatic efforts and show with facts and figures that these victims are mostly Rohingyas," said Prof Delwar, also director of Centre for East Asia Studies at the DU.

Asked, a government official said, "We have strong doubt that all the 208 boatpeople are Bangladeshis .... There may be some Bangladeshis, but we believe that most of them are Rohingyas from Myanmar.”

THE PERSECUTION

Over the years, thousands of Rohingya people have fled to Bangladesh and other countries to escape persecution.

The trend began in the late 1970s as its government continued to impose discriminatory regulations on the Rohingyas, estimated to be 1.1 million, mostly in Rakhine province.

According to the UN refugee agency UNHCR, the Rohingyas were not formally recognised as Burmese national group after the country's independence in 1948. Also, the 1982 Citizenship Law denied them citizenship.

They are subject to various exploitations, including forced labour, extortion, restrictions on movement, denial of residence rights, inequitable marriage regulations and land confiscation.

Amid military oppression, some 5 lakh Rohingyas fled to Bangladesh -- first in 1978 and then in 1991-92. Presently, around 32,000 Rohingya refugees live in the UNHCR-run camps in Bangladesh, while an estimated 3 to 5 lakh live outside the camps.

Under the present reformist government formed in 2011, Myanmar saw the worst sectarian violence in 2012 that left hundreds dead and 1.4 lakh homeless, mostly Rohingyas in Rakhine, according to media reports.

Already grappling with the refugees, Bangladesh this time closed its door to the fresh Rohingya influx.

Over the past three years, over 120,000 Rohingyas have boarded ships to flee abroad. At least 25,000 migrants left Myanmar and Bangladesh in the first quarter of this year, about double the number over the same period last year. Between 40 and 60 percent of the 25,000 are thought to be from Myanmar's western state of Rakhine, the BBC reported on May 18, citing the UN refugee agency.

BORDER ALERT

Dhaka put on alerts the border guards and local administration to resist any possible pushback from Myanmar.

"From previous experiences, the government has ordered the border force to keep an eye on the border so that no pushback can taken place," said a highly placed source, seeking anonymity.

MASS GRAVES IN MALAYSIA

After the discovery of mass graves in Malaysia believed to contain bodies of hundreds of migrants from Myanmar and Bangladesh, officials at Bangladesh High Commission in Kuala Lumpur said they would look into the matter.

Sayedul Islam, counsellor (Labour Wing) at the mission, told The Daily Star by phone yesterday that there was no way of knowing if there were any Bangladeshi among the victims until the Malaysian police investigated it.

Earlier on May 11, as many as 603 migrants, who claimed to be Bangladeshis, were rescued by the Malaysian authorities.

Sayedul Islam said they would start verifying their nationality by this week.

I rather look at real anatomy of a economy not some hard currency

Myanmar
Labour force by occupation
agriculture: 70%,
industry: 7%,
services: 23%

GDP by sector
agriculture: 43%,
industry: 20.5%,
services: 36.6%


The above figure tells the real situation on the ground, not some oil deal or some sell off state asset to foreigner which shows big GDP number.

I am not here for dck measuring contest so I ignored putting BD or Indian data here. Just pointing you towards right direction.

Entire neighbourhood is suffering from your illegal migrants . You should take back all Rohingya muslims because they are of your stock.

What made them our stock? They are indic and India is the sole flag bearer of Indic people. We would rather take persian the real blue blood. India should take Rohingya.

When did we show such growth rates? More Bangladeshi lies......!

I was talking about Burma
