Mahfud explained that although Rohingya refugees are being accommodated in several places, they are essentially the responsibility of the United Nations (UN), not the country. According to Mahfud, there is no budget at the central or regional level for Rohingya refugees.

"The cost of their meals is covered by the UN, not us who provide it, we don't have it in the national budget, nor in the regional budget, it's the UN, just make a claim,""

"So Transit Place"

He conveyed that the country only protects and serves as a temporary transit place for refugees who have already arrived in Indonesian territory. "No, the government doesn't cover that, we only provide protection, and some of them stay for years, until they go to school, until they have a wife, that's what UNHCR covers," Mahfud emphasized.

"They intend to go to Australia, to Malaysia, and other countries. Indonesia is only a transit place,"

"Previously, Mahfud explained first the beginning of Indonesia's acceptance of Rohingya refugees. Mahfud revealed that actually Indonesia could be not obligated to accommodate the refugees."

"\u201cThe legal rule is that, in 1951 there was a UN convention, the International Convention on Refugees, which states that a country must not refuse if there are refugees or people seeking asylum, or a country must accept those who seek refuge,\u201d"

"Indonesia is actually not bound by that convention, because Indonesia is not a part of it, Indonesia is not bound if it doesn't want to. So then, UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) was formed as a commission to handle refugees, which is under the UN's authority."

Mahfud explained that Indonesia can expel refugees if they have not yet entered the Exclusive Economic Zone (ZEE). If they have already entered, they will be accommodated only temporarily and then returned. "Actually, in Indonesia, we are allowed to expel them before they enter the Exclusive Economic Zone, because there is no signature, unless they have already entered and are accommodated temporarily and then returned," said Mahfud.

Mahfud Md: The cost of meals for Rohingya refugees is covered by the UN, just need to claim it.
