Rohingya refugees in collaboration with the Malaysia Islamic party & NGOs in Malaysia organized the march & rally in front of the Myanmar embassy in Kuala Lampur.

Not every one has a Myanmar embassy to rally in front of but Aung San Suu Kyi can be contacted via her FB wall at: https://www.facebook.com/aungsansuukyi/
