Dream - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin opens up the opportunity to make Pulau Galang, Batam City, Riau Province as a location for placing Rohingya refugees. The arrival of Rohingya refugees in Aceh has caused tension within the community.

"The placement is where? We used to have Galang Island, let's discuss again whether it will be like that,"
According to Ma'ruf Amin, quoted from Merdeka.com, Friday, December 8, 2023.

"Finding Solutions"

He conveyed that the arrival of Rohingya refugees who are currently facing rejection from communities in Aceh, Riau, and Medan, is a humanitarian issue that must be addressed together by stakeholders. He revealed that the Indonesian government has scheduled discussions on this solution with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), who is responsible for refugee matters.

Ma'ruf said, a number of options related to the steps to address the issue are being intensively discussed in a meeting led by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs (Menkopolhukam), Mahfud MD.

“Until now, it is impossible for us to refuse, but of course, we are also anticipating not to have any rejection from the community, and also how to anticipate that everything does not continue to flee to Indonesia. That becomes a burden.”
"Clearly."

"Not Only in Indonesia"

"Ma'ruf mentioned that the presence of Rohingya refugees is also a similar problem in several countries. 'Actually, it's not just here, yesterday when visiting Greece. Greece also faces a similar situation, as they enter Europe through Greece. They are like us, facing difficulties, but nevertheless, this is a humanitarian issue that must be addressed,' he said."

Response from Meko Polhukam Mahfud MD

Meanwhile, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Mahfud MD dismissed the notion that Rohingya refugees entering through Aceh Province will be placed on Galang Island, Batam City, Riau Province.

"Don't (Rohingya refugees on Galang Island), instead, don't let it become like Galang Island,""
According to Mahfud, Wednesday, December 6, 2023.

Although so, Mahfud did not explain in detail the reasons for rejecting Pulau Galang as a location for the evacuation of Rohingya residents. Until now, Mahfud and his team are still trying to find evacuation locations elsewhere. One of their efforts is to ask Minister of Home Affairs Tito Karnavian to communicate with the governments of Aceh, North Sumatra, and Riau provinces to discuss the new location. "The Forkopimda of the three provinces, Aceh, North Sumatra, and Riau, will be coordinated by the Minister of Home Affairs to discuss it," said Mahfud.
