As UN mulls Myanmar action, Malaysia pushes Asean to review peace plan

NEW YORK, Sept 20 — South-east Asian nations must decide if they are going to push ahead with a so-far failed five-point peace plan for Myanmar or “decide what’s next” before their leaders meet in November, Malaysia’s Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah said on Monday.

The Association of South-east Asian Nations , of which Myanmar is a member, has been leading peace efforts. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the annual gathering of world leaders for the UN General Assembly in New York, Saifuddin also said he hoped the 15-member UN Security Council would not fail the people of Myanmar.

It would also called on the Myanmar junta to release all political prisoners, including Suu Kyi, implement the Asean peace plan and allow a democratic transition.
