Experts warned of the possibility of ISIS to recruit fighters from Rohingya Muslims, who are fleeing from Myanmar in an expansive step for the organization in Asia.
Nearly 100,000 of Rohingya Muslims have been fleeing from Myanmar region due to ethnic persecution over the past years, which raise fears that ISIS will go to the recruitment of these elements, especially if they were from asylum seekers in Malaysia and Indonesia.
About 700 Indonesian and 200 Malaysian are fighting in the ranks of ISIS in Syria and Iraq, which called on Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong for commenting on the importance of South-East Asia for ISIS, saying: “Southeast Asia is a major recruitment center for ISIS”.
