JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong have initiated an Asean-led diplomatic initiative to stop the ruthless Myanmar junta from killing innocent people who have refused to accept a government that was born of a coup against a democratic regime.
But Indonesia now faces the bitter fact that resistance to concerted efforts to stop gross human rights violations in Myanmar comes not only come from the military junta but also from within Asean itself.
