It's the Burmese Government to be blamed. I still don't understand why they can't stop the discriminatory policies.

and ASEAN will never involve in this issue. trust me.

a good report from BBC
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-33007536

Thailand, which was being used as a smuggling route by people traffickers, has cracked down on the trade and a senior Thai officer has been charged in connection with trafficking. And the Dalai Lama has joined other international voices calling on Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to speak out about their plight.

Yes and shame on ASIA, which needs to finally clean up its act.

Which could start by foreign nationals respecting other nations borders. Given ignoring it and or poor folks selling their kids, is what created much of this problem anyway.

Slavery only exists where and when it can or is allowed!

That said, simply put, the Rohingya are just migrating Muslim Bangladeshi, who have just "invaded" squatted on another nations territory?

And should therefore be asked to return and come back in as invited guests!

And as invitees, have some rights and access to legal redress?

And we Australians only role in this centuries old problem, is to counsel lawful and mutually acceptable resolutions, between conflicted aspirants; rather than throw open the door to a veritable tide of displaced people!

Who sadly, we have absolutely nothing in common with; just entirely implacable Ideological, cultural and immutable religious difference with! And the problem also for the former Burma?

Not for nothing is it writ large that the east is east and the west is west, and never the twain should meet!

Besides, letting a few manageable numbers in, could start a flood tide we could never turn back; and or, tantamount to throwing petrol on a forest fire in an attempt to put it out! And that worked out well for a compassionate Greece didn't it?

The solution needs to be sort at the source of the problem! Namely overcoming localized poverty!

Oh sure, others will argue different all while claiming absolute sovereignty and self determination for themselves!

This nation and everything it is now, was carved out by desperately poor folks living in bark huts and humpies; and in the harshest most inhospitable landscape in the world, with little more that their bare hands and a few hand tools.

Let others who now envy, want to take what we/they built, try a little of that!
Rhrosty.

The Myanmar government and people figure they need an influx of Muslims like they need a hole in the head.

This sentiment is largely shared by the Buddhist countries to the east of Myanmar including Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. They are well aware that the Muslim countries to their west, including Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Indonesia too, used to be Buddhist until the Muslims arrived and simply killed anyone who didn't agree with them.

They rightly fear that the Muslims will play the victim card while they are in the minority, and then commit the kinds of atrocities that they are committing all over the world every day in agitating for the predominance of their 'religion'.

"The situation has caused concerns in the international community which finds Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia should do better ..."

The author is not the international community and does not speak for them.

The solution is for the author and everyone who agrees with him, to put their money where their mouth is, and *pay* for the Rohingya to be re-settled in Bangladesh or Saudi Arabia, two lovely Muslim countries with all the humanitarianism of the religion of peace.
