Debated in Parliament on 26 Feb 2025.
Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether an update can be provided on the Ministry's plans for 2025 regarding humanitarian aid for the Rohingya refugees in Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) will continue to support the humanitarian needs of displaced persons from the Rakhine State by contributing to the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance. In 2025, this will amount to over $120,000. MFA will monitor the situation and engage our partners to assess how we can most effectively contribute to ongoing humanitarian relief efforts.
