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.
