Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has expressed his disappointment with the United Nations Security Council over its response to the continuing political crisis in Myanmar.
\nIsmail told the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on Friday that the Security Council had not taken \u201cany serious action\u201d in dealing with the situation in Myanmar and described the response as \u201cvery saddening\u201d.
\n\u201cSome even see the Security Council as having washed its hands of [Myanmar] and handing the matter over to ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations],\u201d he said.
\nMyanmar\u2019s military seized power in February 2021 from Aung San Suu Kyi\u2019s elected government, plunging the country into what some UN experts have described as a nascent civil war that has killed thousands.
\nThe prime minister also said that ASEAN\u2019s \u201cFive-Point Consensus\u201d \u2013 which had called for an immediate end to violence, the appointment of a special envoy and discussions involving all stakeholders \u2013 needed to be given \u201ca new lease of life\u201d.
\n\u201cMalaysia is disappointed that there is no meaningful progress in the implementation of the ASEAN Five Point Consensus especially by the Myanmar junta. In its current form, the ASEAN Five Point Consensus cannot continue any longer,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
