Assure Tamils integration in country's development- Malaysia

Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak told reporters today that if the Sri Lankan government can assure that the Tamils in the island can integrate in the country's development, the possibility of them becoming boat people will be reduced, Bernama news agency reported.
The Prime Minister said it was learnt that the human trafficking activities had become rampant because of the handsome profit, as the traffickers would charge between US$15,000 and US$20,000 for each Sri Lankan who wanted to enter Australia.
"This is also linked to Sri Lanka's internal stability. If the Sri Lankan government can assure that the Tamils there can integrate in the country's development, the possibility of them becoming boat people will be reduced," he said.
