KUALA LUMPUR - Opposition MPs have questioned the government's action to offer skills training to Rohingya ethnic group who were recognised as refugees in the country.

Datuk Seri Dr Ismail Abd Muttalib (PN-Maran) said the government should not open more 'space' for these refugees as it will give negative impact in the future.

"I am confident that after these group were given training, they will also be given opportunities to hold position in our country's employment sector.

"(So) I hope the government pays attention to this matter (as it involves the country's future)," he said while debating on King's Speech in Dewan Rakyat here today.

Ismail explained that the government should find ways to help the people, especially the young ones who are still jobless.
