Indonesia, Malaysia seek special ASEAN meeting to discuss Myanmar crisis

[Song Hong]

Yeah it was Malaysia and Indonesia who were killing commie terrorists like you thru out the 70s and 80s don't forget.

It is funny that you should mention terrorists of all people. Both Countries have right to support the Rohingya people who were unjustly chased from their villages.

Islamophobia will be fought on every single frontline it appears from. We will fight it today and tomorrow.

Reported for Islamophobic rants

both are now crying being "discriminated" by the other party.

They are crackpot.

The only crackpot is you. going off road from main topic into irrelevant stuff.

We don't take pride in displacing villagers but we do in eliminating commies like you

I don't think it will pass. Other non-muslim countries will choose avoid interfering in their internal affairs, because it is not humanitarian nor effect them.

Yes the chance that Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Philippines to get into this mess is zero.

 

[powastick]

It wouldn't take much time to turn into a humanitarian crisis, there are already reports of the Junta shooting at civilian protests.

Although I get what you are saying, ASEAN doesn't have the capability to interfere. The only players here are China and the US, with Bangladesh probably acting as a buffer.

Haven't muslims learn their lessons? Getting foreign involvement doesn't meant it is a good thing for Myanmar's people, for example Libya. Where is Libya today? Where is Syria today? Even Afganistan is still a mess.

Lol, since when was ASEAN free from foreign involvement? And you think only Muslim countries struggle with foreign involvement?

Myanmar is no different from Afghanistan, from Arakan to Kachin the country is full of ethnic conflicts. It's just that they don't get as much media attention as Afghanistan.

It is indeed passed, but this is just a political pressure, if Myanmar military is so determined like happening in Egypt with its military rules and ready to kill many protesters, I dont think Myanmar can get back to its partial- democracy again.

ASEAN Foreign Ministers Meet to Discuss Myanmar Crisis

The results were predictably lackluster, but it’s too early to write off ASEAN’s efforts on Myanmar.

Important country in ASEAN block. As I said again and again, it is just a diplomatic pressure. If Myanmar military is so determined with its ambition and ready to sacrifice its economy and killed more people, no one can stop them, unless God intervene.

They are throwing their lives away, the same way what happen in Egypt. Aung San Suu Kyi don't deserve to be given noble peace price, she could have easily stop this bloodshed and fight another day. And to those people who are encouraging them to die for "freedom and democracy" are just selfish and sadistic, they aren't going to send help, just "thoughts and prayers".

 

[Song Hong]

Suu Kyi and gang took monies from Sorors and NED.

No one cares, not even Indon when Thai army overthrow democracy, killed many people-- many times.

Suggest Indonesia and Malaysia go after Thailand first. Else you guys look like US lackey.

I got a feeling Malay really hate Chinese. They jump so high this time because they suspect China is behind this. In fact, I guess China role is just non interference, while China sure got a wind earlier, but did not oppose the junta.

Another clown is Singapore peranakan. now get orgasm.

Indonesia, Malaysia seeking ASEAN meeting on Myanmar after coup

JAKARTA (Reuters) - The leaders of Indonesia and Malaysia on Friday said they were seeking a special meeting of Southeast Asian nations to discuss the situation in Myanmar, where an elected government was overthrown in a coup this week.

Throwing a wedge in Myanmar’s transition to democracy, the military took power on Monday, alleging irregularities in a November election won in a landslide by the party of Aung San Suu Kyi.

After meeting visiting Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, Indonesian President Joko Widodo said their foreign ministers had been asked to talk to Brunei, the current chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), to try to set up the special Myanmar meeting.

Muhyiddin referred to the coup as being “one step backward in the process of democracy in that country”.
Such meetings are rare and arranging one could be a challenge, however, given ASEAN’s policy of non-interference in its members’ domestic issues and their contrasting responses to the army takeover.

ASEAN, of which Myanmar is a member, earlier this week said it had been watching developments there closely.

Jokowi, as Indonesia’s president is known, and Muhyiddin also reiterated their commitment to eradicating “discrimination” against palm oil.

Jokowi said it was “optimal” for the two countries, which are the world’s top producers of palm oil, to work together to fight palm oil discrimination, while Muhyiddin said the anti-palm oil campaign in Europe misrepresented the industry.

Reuters reported last month that Indonesia and Malaysia were looking to hire an advocacy firm to counter the criticism.

Jokowi and Muhyiddin said they would discuss further an agreement for official and business travel between their countries amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Jokowi said the issue of Rohingya Muslims had been discussed. Indonesia has been historically sympathetic to the plight of the Rohingya, hundreds of whom have arrived there and in Malaysia in recent years after fleeing persecution in Myanmar.

Both leaders also stressed the importance of international law in the South China Sea and Muhyiddin called for self-restraint and to avoid militarization.

I reckon NED and Soros will stir shyt in Vietnam in the future. Lets dont meddle with Myanmar. We loss our moral vantage.

There is a dilemma if we condemn the military takeover in Myanmar then we must apply the same rule in Thailand. Or Philippines. There is no risk of military takeover in Vietnam, the army is traditionally loyal to political rulers. The army doesn’t do politics.
