INDONESIAN President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo will host the Asean summit on May 9-11 in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara. The humanitarian crisis unfolding in Myanmar will yet again test the credibility of the regional bloc. General Min Aung Hlaing will be barred from attending the summit, as Asean has yet to lift the punitive measure imposed on the Myanmar military junta for its disrespect for the five-point consensus . Still, despite the isolation, the junta is unlikely to relent or offer a compromise because it knows Asean wants it to relinquish the power it robbed from the Myanmar people on Feb 1, 2021.
