SINGAPORE, March 2 (Reuters) - Singapore's Prime Minister on
Tuesday called for Myanmar's military to release elected leader
Aung San Suu Kyi to allow the country to move forward and said
sanctions would hurt the people rather than the military.
In a transcript of an interview with the BBC, Lee Hsien
Loong said the military will have learned from the past that it
was in the country's interests for it to work out an arrangement
with an elected civilian government, as a military route would
lead nowhere.
