BANGKOK - Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Friday that Asean should “carve” Myanmar out for now rather than let the country’s crisis hinder the 10-nation bloc.
The remaining nine members of Asean differ in their views on Myanmar, with neighbouring Thailand more openly engaging with senior leaders in the military regime. Malaysia has spoken out strongly against the junta. Its former foreign minister Saifuddin Abdullah has publicity met with leaders from Myanmar’s National Unity Government, which is competing with the junta for international legitimacy.
Myanmar’s military junta, which calls itself the State Administration Council, has so far paid little heed to a roadmap for resolution drawn up by Asean in 2021. On Feb 1, it extended the state of emergency by another six months, ostensibly to stabilise the country for fresh elections to replace the 2020 one won by the now-ousted National League for Democracy party. The junta is now battling armed resistance that sprung up in response to the coup.
