Amanah and PAS youth wings today urged Malaysia to cease diplomatic relations with Myanmar, following reported violence against the Rohingya community there.

"We urge that Malaysia freeze diplomatic relation with Myanmar and kick out the country's envoy to Malaysia," Amanah Youth chief Sany Hamzan told Malaysiakini when contacted.

He also urged Malaysia to recall its diplomat in Myanmar, to push for the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to convene on the matter immediately and to send peacekeepers to the trouble region.

He submitted a memorandum to the Foreign Ministry this afternoon.

Sany said the violence against the largely Muslim Rohingya community is worse compared to in 2012, with footage showing attacks by armed militia.

According to media reports, the Myanmar military had launched air raids on Rohingya villages in the Rakhine state on Nov 12, leaving eight dead.

This was just one of a string of violent incidents against the community, which is not acknowledged by the state as Myanmar citizens.

According to Human Rights Watch, hundreds of homes have been destroyed in various villages amid a crackdown by the Burmese military.

CNN reports that footage allegedly from Rakhine show razed villages with bodies sticking out of the ashes.

Burmese authorities, however, blame the destruction on local militant groups.

Nobel Peace Laureate, leader of the ruling National League of Democracy Aung San Suu Kyi, has been condemned for alleged inaction in curbing violence against the Rohingya community.

Remember Bosnia and Herzergovina

Echoing Sany's call for a freeze in diplomatic relations, PAS Youth vice-chief Khairil Nizam Khirudin urged the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) to pull out of the Asian Football Federation Suzuki Cup tournament in Yangon.

The call was earlier made by PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar.

However, FAM said it will not pull out of the tournament citing penalties to the association.

Khairil also urged Malaysia to play a more active role, as member of the OIC, Asean and the United Nations to urge international intervention against the violence.

"Without foreign intervention, the Rohingya may face the fate of those from Bosnia and Herzergovina.

"Bosnia and Herzergovina may be back to normal now, but the Muslim world remembers what happened there and how the OIC and the UN did nothing," he said in a statement.

More than 100,000 people were killed in the Bosnian war in 1992, which saw ethnic cleansing against the predominantly Muslim Bosniak ethnic group.

The International Court of Justice in 1993 found Serbia failed to prevent genocide by Serb armed forces and did not punish those involved.

In 2004, Serbian president Boris Tadic apologised to those in Bosnia and Herzergovina who suffered crimes committed in the name of the Serb people.
