KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 (Reuters) - Malaysia on Monday said
the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) must play a
more proactive role in bringing normalcy back to Myanmar, where
there have been weeks of protests since the military staged a
coup a month ago.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said in a
statement that all parties "must exercise utmost restraint from
the use of violence", and that Malaysia supports the convening
of an informal ASEAN ministers' meeting to discuss the situation
in Myanmar.
