Four million Burmese entitled to get long-term residence in Saudi Arabia

Four million Burmese residents in Saudi Arabia are now entitled to obtain an ‘iqama,’ a long-term residence with job prospects.

Sheikh of the Burmese community in Makkah, Abu Alshamaa Abdulmajeed, said a large number of Burmese citizens have been living in Saudi Arabia for more than 70 years, arriving here as a result of injustice and torture against Muslims at the hands of their former governments and various extremist Buddhist groups.

The Sheikh praised the role of the Saudi government in assisting the Burmese community and supporting them as they resettled in the Kingdom.

He said that the recent status correction decision issued by Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, which calls for the granting of free iqamas to members of the Burmese community, has now solved a plethora of logistical problems for many members of the community, and will serve to facilitate their freedom of movement and permanent residence.

“Additionally, due to this new government move, students who are studying in schools run by charitable organizations will now have the opportunity to study in public schools from the primary to secondary stages,” he added.

Abdulmajeed said: “The dream of returning to Burma has faded from the hearts of members of the community due to a lack of passports, especially as the Pakistani and Bangladeshi embassies have refused to grant them passports. The fear of prosecution and torture against Muslims also makes this dream impossible at this time.”

So far, 170,000 iqamas have been granted to Burmese.

Alhamdulillah for our rohingya brothers & sisters , getting long term residence in KSA. A commendable act by KSA while at the same time feeling disgusted at the recent awami policy vis-vis the rohingya issue. Persecuted rohingyas should not be barred from coming into BD and for the long term BD should make arrangement for settlement of all rohingya refugees in BD rather than waiting for that pagan hell hole called Burma to get civilized.

 

[Khalid Newazi]

If we had a leader with balls, the Burmese government wouldn't want to F@CK around with the Roghinyas. Anyway, this is a very good gesture by Saudi Arabia. I wonder how many of Western media will post about this!

evil sodis

 

[Azizam]

Please take our wahhabis too.

 

[livingdead]

good gesture from ksa.

 

[Hassan Al-Somal]

This is a noble effort from Saudi Arabia - the birthplace of Islam. My dua is with them.

The rest of Muslim nations should follow suit and provide refuge to long-suffering Rohingyas that still remain in Burma.

Among all muslim countries, only the "evil wahhabite" can do this. Thank you KSA. I will never forget the help we (Indonesians) had during the Aceh's tsunami., US $100 million hard cash sent without or minimum media coverage.

 

[Al Bhatti]

There are Rohingyas who have got UAE Passports as well.

 

[lasttry]

Guys stop kidding yourselves. The semi citizenship has been granted to earlier migrants who have been slaving there for more than 50 years, not the refugees from the recent few years. Most of those people are in India. Even Bangladesh has refused them entry. Its only India who has let them in. So stop this nonsense feel good. If Saudis are really serious, then pick up the refugee rohingyas in India.

Here is the truth if any of you are really interested in it.

A rare good decision by the Saudis.

Stop kidding yourself. There are only 10-20 thousand Rohingyas in India. There are 3 lacs in BD 2 lacs in Pakistan, 1 lacs in Thailand, 40 thousand in Malaysia. And the figure here in KSA is 4 lacs not 4 million. If 4 millions are given iqma then they counted twice the whole Rohinya population in the world. If you have problems with Muslims then tell your Hindu population to get out of Muslim countries. India had given refugee to Tibetans and Hindus. What is itching here to give refuge to some Indic Muslim people. Bangladesh cant simply take the burden of 2 million more people as they arent Bangladeshi.

I am not the one breeding hatred, you are. KSA has given work permits to Burmese muslims who have been living there for decades. This whole thread is based on a lie and I was pointing that out.

Now coming to refugee count, I did not say how many where. But I know bangladesh navy disallowing refugees from landing in bangladesh. it was in the news all over. and if you want me to beleive that 2 lakh rohingyas sailed on little wooden boats around the indian sub-continent and settled in pakistan, gimme a break. there is a limit to trolling as well.

As they have crossed to Saudi Arabia in 60-70 years. Like this in Pakistan for 50-60 years. Not at once. Some recent waves tried to enter in BD, India, Malayasia and Thailand. And they still go to KSA or Pakistan using BD passports.
