“Malaysia Drowns Out ASEAN’s Collective Voice on the Rakhine Issue” by Tang Siew Mun

 

2017/57, 1 October 2017

After weeks of deafening silence, ASEAN finally found its voice on the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the Rakhine State of Myanmar. Acting as the ASEAN Chair, the Philippines issued the “ASEAN Chairman’s Statement on the Humanitarian Situation on Rakhine State” on 23 September. The Statement, which came more than a month after the latest round of hostilities, drew an immediate response from Malaysia. Foreign Minister Anifah Aman took the unequivocal position of “disassociating” Malaysia from the Statement, going so far as to criticise the document as a “misrepresentation” of the situation.
