Without Myanmar in attendance, Asean must still di what is best for the Rohingya people

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 (Bernama): Myanmar’s exclusion from the upcoming 38th and 39th Asean Summits next week - to allow space for the country to put its house in order - is welcomed by many. It, however, does not help solve the plight of the Rohingyas.

Myanmar was snubbed due to the lack of progress in the Five-Point Consensus achieved by Asean last April to help resolve the woes faced by the country after the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi was ousted by the army.
