Malaysia supports the call for Suu Kyi's immediate release, says Saifuddin


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia stands with the people of Myanmar and supports the call for Myanmar’s ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi's immediate release to begin the process of peaceful and inclusive dialogue with all stakeholders in the country.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah (pic) said this in his Tweet on Tuesday (Aug 16), following Monday's (Aug 15) news reports that a court in the junta ruled Myanmar added six more years for corruption to her earlier 11-year prison sentence, taking the leader's total prison time to 17 years.
