KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — Malaysia must not support a draft resolution tabled by Sri Lanka at the United Nations calling for member nations not to interfere in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka, MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said today.
In urging Malaysia to deny support for the resolution, he said he would write to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak asking Malaysia not to support any such resolution.
"Tamils in Malaysia constitute 1.4 million of the 1.8 million Indians in the country. As such, their feelings have to be respected. There has to be a war tribunal in Sri Lanka to bring those people who perpetrated crimes against the Tamil community there in their war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)," he said in a statement.
Samy Vellu said these people had committed genocide and would have to pay the price for the actions of the Sri Lankan army.
Yesterday, a news portal reported that Malaysia was one of the countries which had backed the draft resolution, tabled by Sri Lanka at the United Nations, calling for the non-interference policy. — Bernama
