Asean May Request Development Funds for Burma

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is considering approaching the international community for development funds to assist in the democratization of Burma rather than applying pressure on the Burmese junta, according to the Malaysian foreign minister.

Seems like Malaysia's Foreign Minister Datuk Anifah Aman is endorsing that Malaysia has some 'involvements and interests' with the Junta regime regime, which has been responsible for the plight of the Burmese people, the inhumane treatment, forced suppression and brutal disregard for it's people!!

Or is ASEAN also in this? Yet to be seen

“Since the [Burmese] people are so poor right now, the generals would be kicked out if they called for an election,” he said, adding that Malaysia might raise the idea of development funding during 15th Asean Summit.

“So why don’t we put in some development funds, and bring the people out of poverty?” he said.“Then the voters can see that under the military’s rule, things did improve and they [might] even vote for the junta.”

The Malaysian foreign minister said that his development fund idea could ease the junta’s fears of losing power once the country becomes fully democratic
