Association of Southeast Asian Nations to stay true to the bloc’s key ideals—stand up for justice and rule of law—amid the ongoing crisis in Myanmar.Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim pays his respects to the Philippines’ national hero, Dr. Jose PRizal, in a wreathlaying ceremony at the Rizal Park in the City of Manila on Thursday, March 2, 2023.
In honoring the Malaysian leader, UP Vice President for Public Affairs Jose Wendell Capili said Anwar has been a devoted scholar on the life, works, and teachings of Rizal. “In this regard, it bears repeating these immortal lines from Dr. Rizal, who I must reiterate, remains truly an Asian Renaissance Man, that ‘Justice is the foremost virtue of the civilizing races. It subdues the barbarous nations, while injustice arouses the weakest,’” he added.
As ASEAN turns 56, Anwar said the way forward for its goal of a “just and peaceful” world is to bolster cooperation in all “crucial” issues that bind the bloc as a solid and diverse regional grouping. Anwar was also acknowledged for his “commitment to the pursuit of justice and democratic ideals into the attainment of a more inclusive and pluralistic Malaysia, at great personal cost.”
