'We can't see this as a purely internal issue, so I have appealed to friends in ASEAN to say, look, we have to be tougher,' says Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
In a pre-recorded interview with Philippine news channel ANC aired on Friday, March 3, Anwar said that, which is leading diplomatic efforts to bring peace, needed to be more assertive and noted that his country was shouldering 200,000 displaced people from Myanmar.
Myanmar has been beset by social, political and economic chaos since its military overthrew an elected government in 2021. “The atrocities, we cannot condone,” Anwar said. “We have to find an amicable solution which is difficult. We have tried all. ASEAN has to prove it is relevant and able to ease some of problems.”
