Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said Malaysia alone cannot end the atrocities towards the ethnic Rohingyas in Myanmar.
Instead, the UMNO President said the crisis over the infringement of basic human rights could only be resolved with the cooperation of the international community including the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), ASEAN and the United Nations (UN).
Asked about foreign interference in Muslim countries, Najib said it would be detrimental to Muslims as well as cause conflicts.
"When they interfere, of course there is a specific agenda, whether intentional or not. Of course they do not understand the conditions in Muslim countries," he said in a special interview in conjunction with the 2016 UMNO General Assembly.
The one-hour programme was moderated by Hamdan Ahmir and joined by Utusan Malaysia editor Datuk Zulkefli Hamzah and RTM television personality Sayed Munawar Sayed Mohd Mustar.
The prime minister also stressed that in a democratic and sovereign country, the people must be free to choose their leaders and their own direction, and should not be influenced by outside parties.
He said according to reports by WikiLeaks and DCLeaks, American billionaire George Soros, through the Open Society Foundation, had provided funds to certain parties to create chaos such as 'The Orange Revolution' in Ukraine and the Arab Spring.
"Certain parties had admitted receiving funds from the Open Society Foundation. So there really is foreign interference in our country," he said.
On a separate development, Najib condemned the actions of certain parties who play up parochialism among the people of Sabah and Sarawak including claiming that the Federal Government was revoking their rights.
Reiterating his previous comments, Najib said the government was very committed to the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
"We are in the process of reviewing the agreement, and if we have done something which clearly revokes the rights of the people of Sabah and Sarawak, we are willing to correct it.
"However, the correction must be made within the Malaysian Constitution and the question of Sabah and Sarawak seceding, getting out, that is non-negotiable, do not talk about it, because that is wrong under the law," he said. -- BERNAMA
