PETALING JAYA: Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic) on Wednesday joined the chorus condemning the rejection of Rohingya refugees, saying the authorities’ recent decision to turn away a boat carrying some 400 of them was “inhumane.”In a blog post, Dr Mahathir said the authorities should instead have given them food and fuel so that they could make their way to another country or return to Myanmar. Earlier this month, the authorities blocked a boat carrying starving Rohingya refugees from landing. It was reported that around 30 of the refugees had died at sea.
