Zahid said he noticed the Myanmar delegation remained void of emotions as he sounded out the violations and the cruel blockade of international humanitarian aid. "I don't know whether they (the Myanmar delegation) understood my message. He said despite the cold shoulder received from the Myanmar delegation, the feeling of discontentment over the Rohingya issue is virtually unanimous among other Asean member nations. "Others have stated their support for Malaysia's stand, though the Myanmar delegation was keener to justify their military action when they took centrestage," said Zahid. The Deputy Prime Minister also held consultative meetings with delegations of China and Japan on joint security, and crime prevention and eradication efforts.
