This student is still too young to know the state of her country. Moreover, her father is a doctor & even her mother & sister are here in Kuala Lumpur, living quite well. Most Burmese suffer under junta rule. Something needs to be done. The UN needs to have initiative. For us, we pray for the nation & people of Myanmar for divine intervention. God help them...

Something needs to be done.

For us, we pray for the nation & people of Myanmar for divine intervention.

Syed Hamid criticise Rommel for "intervening into Malaysia's internal affairs" with his comments on NEP so I suppose as long as each respective country is doing well economically, other issues are secondary. US, EU being more affluent countries, can afford to have more time on human rights and society welfare. Asean is not a fully developed society as it stands. Those countries manage to progressed significantly since the 19th cintury over the matters like women's right, minority rights etc but that is after they achieve significant economic progress...where are we, Asean? i suppose we are being consistent.
