ASEAN foreign ministers are preparing to hold virtual talks with a representative of Myanmar’s military on Tuesday, as anti-coup protesters returned to the streets in the main city of Yangon defying fresh threats from Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.
Singapore’s foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan, in a televised interview late on Monday, said the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will tell the military it is appalled by the violence in Myanmar and call for the release of the country’s elected leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, and for the two sides to talk.
“Instability in any corner of Southeast Asia threatens and affects the rest of us,” he said, adding that the coup will cause “grievous damage to Myanmar’s society and economy”.
The military’s February 1 power grab has plunged Myanmar into chaos, drawing hundreds of thousands of people on to the streets of cities and towns across the country as doctors, teachers and other civil servants stop work in protest against the coup.
In the bloodiest crackdown yet, security forces opened fire on protesters on Sunday, killing at least 18 and wounding dozens more.

ASEAN is as powerless as a lame duck in terms of internal management of its member states. Good luck!
ASEAN not NATO we don’t have military alliance 😪. Vietnam is already enough to sent U.S back home crying.
@Dragoneel Tax lol but US is back again in Vietnam. lol
Myanmar has seen many human rights violations. and even genocide. 😇
Hope the Myanmar ppl can be more ruthless and think of ways to cater the military and police. There are so many ways to beat them. Sigh…
I hope this isn’t another empty promise. Humans should be able to understand others pain even if it’s not directed to you. The UN keeps saying they are concerned too. US said too. When it’s about a 3rd country and a small nation the rest of the world just pretends to help. This isn’t about a country this is more than that. It’s about stopping the notion that it’s okay for anyone to be treated unfairly if they belong to non-developed nation. If Myanmar isn’t helped by outside force it will prove that the world thinks that less privileged nation isnt worthy of peace
Let’s be honest here, it’s hard for ASEAN to ever unite as a political block. Unlike the EU, ASEAN is too diverse, literally in everything, from political system, culture, religion, and levels of economic development.
😂👍😘😍😜
Compare to what they did to Rohingyas it’s almost nothing.
Gd job military Stop this mass group of holligan from ruining the country also irresponsible zionist liberal base media spreading rotten lies 👎👎
We can’t forget 2017 Rohingya genocide in Myanmar.
People-lets kill government
Government-lets kill people
USA-🤑🥰😘
A few days ago the rohingya..now the buddhist.. good for the monk..

I cried to see the suffering of the people of myanmar😭 🇲🇲❤️🇮🇩
Why is that many believe how Myanmar Military is supported by CCP!? – No, it is not! – Suu Kyi and CCP share the same agenda.
Please help to donate CMD movement. We care for democratic voting. The democratics’ vote are violated by corrupt military, police and court. USDP and ANP voters made complaints on voters’ fraud that NLD stealing parliament seats to win 43 out 45 parliament seats. NLD government was not given a fair trial by the military to seizing the opportunity given to coup d’etat.
The military is confused
Vietnam won usa now its hard for us to send troops in asia
This show how Asean is a joke, Asean was created to only benefit Vietnam Malaysia Indonesia and Thailand. Meanwhile, mainland Asean are struggling with dictatorship, in term of government and military. Vietnam, a communist country that has influence on Laos communist, Thailand a military dictatorship supported by monarchy regime, Cambodia is a fake democracy country with freedom of speech but under the influence of China. This is not a joke, it is mean the very existence of democracy in mainland ASEAN is not widely recognized by ASEAN citizen. Even Cambodia, a small country want to help, it won’t end well because Cambodia military is weaker than Thailand and Myanmar, to me I think the only option left is for Malaysia and Indonesia to demand all asean country stop trading with Myanmar and accept Myanmar immigrants from Laos and Thailand to Cambodia in order to stop civil war from broke out, once the government had no citizen to rule, the military will grow weaker.
“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.”
Revelation 17:12
lol. China has no Hollywood to rule. lol
It is not to think but high time to take actions wit the evils.
Indonesia mendukung kudeta
Hoax
USA take military action against Myanmar
They shoot real bullet
Save Myanmar 🇲🇲
May God bless our Asian
😆😆😆🌊
Too bad for Myanmar, every other country got their own problems… plus they are a buncha arrogant and ungrateful ppl…
They have to change the system where everyone in the Army can wake up and take power. The military never fully handed over to civilians and the country seems tired of military rule in 2021
I support Myanmar People from Northeast India Mizoram
Soon there will be an illegal government in Bangladesh, but the movement agrees with the Myarmar movement🇧🇩❤🇧🇩
Bangladesh and Myanmar are same
It is easy to say for Burma that, Myanmar (Burma) should leave ASEAN and enter the Commonwealth as a member. Commonwealth definitely knows public suffering while the ASEAN quietly support unwise dictator ( in the past also) under non interference policy. It is moral (right or wrong) matter that the ASEAN use to ignore while the China is trying hard to control Myanmar economically. It is all about the ‘Coup’, money and power struggle.
These past weeks have shown that the military does not have the legitimacy to govern. If they are smart they will negotiate conditions to step down. Coup is treason and is punishable by death.
Nearly 50 was dead (mostly head shoots). RIP to all our heros
why are we not hearing the other side? the road is only one way.
Awww the military is giving free showers to all.
미얀마의 민주화를 지지합니다. 🇲🇲

Time for UN and asian to send arm to those civilians for self defend. the myanmar military is crazy and bully those unarmed civilian. the more UN , asian or other country asked myanmar to stop the more they kill . just because they are armed , they bully and kill unarmed civilian. there is no other way to resolve it than to kill? if thats the only way out for military than get the civilian armed for self defend. how could myanmar military general be leader when they don’t even sit down and talk , but decided killing and putting fear is the way to resolve . those old general already in their 70 year olds, almost in coffin . why don’t they just enjoy life but bring war and hate?
the army fearless because they though no one could stop them, but the most simple solution is UN , ASIAN, or other other country drop arm supplies . the army will pee in their pant for what they did. THE PEOPLE LIFE AND THE ARMY Soldier LIFE IS TOUGH ENOUGH, GIVE THEM A BREAK FROM YOUR HUNGRY OF POWER GAME. the soldier just need to feed their family too. why not just release the leader and show proof of whatever, or spilt into 2 country if both want power? there must be a solution beside killing and killing.
Today more than ten people died and some of them are children.
because those army hiding behind the gun, they though nothing could stop them and not willing to negotiation but to kill more civilian. the simple and most scary way is to airborne arm supplies for the civilian to self defend, they would be in fear and want to start negotiation now. few hundrends thousand of civilian is just small number, once they armed and strong more will be there for sure. the fking myanmar military will want to negotiation. put those military in fear.
General Min Aung Hlaing, is the HITLER OF Myanmar. He’s a DEVIL! HE KILLED CIVILIANS. Protestors want its DEMOCRACY back in their country.
ming myanmar power taker has no capability in handling domestic problems … he takes that illegal power for granted without having careful and thorough evaluations. he thought he can rule the nation in an easy way. the civil unrest may last longer and might result to further economic destruction… and…perhaps this unrest if not settled will result to a civil war…. hunger and thirst will be felt by its people….suffering from authoritarian regime… where are you united nations don’t leave your member in miserable situation… ming started killing protesters… U.N. should act now while it’s not yet too late…. by just condemning means nothing…. where are you asean time to rescue your dying member….
What is US doing – power has to be used when really required
true 🙁 11 people just died because of real gun shot in North Oakalar, Yangon, Myanmar
What is China, Russia or SEA doing?
@Chuy L they just dont want to be hypocrite, coz they also dont like rallies.
The super powers are just a joke they are self centered – just people of words
For military.
Do you still have a conscience?
this is probably chinas fault
myanmar deserves democracy….
At least Singapore say something and it, leader of Asean region

Power should be in the hands of people, not few individual criminals who does not represent anybody.
It’s organised kingship… Few against the masses…. How can so called rulers treat the subjects as aliens.

Where were they when Rohingya was getting burnt ?
Hello Aljajira,
Did you know anything about ‘Rohingya’ people? Did you know thousands of Rohingya people were killed by these ruthless Burmies Army? Did you know, the Pig Army conducted ethnic cleansing, raped thousands of Rohingya womans and make them flee to Bangladesh?
Where were you all at that time?
Whatever, at least now expose this Bullshit Armies and their allies and pressurize them as much as you can.
Thanks in advance.
When the army was killing rohingyas the whole nation was quiet,now this army is killing their own kinds.what goes around comes around
Algorithm led me here. Pray for Myanmar’s DEMOCRACY. From South Korea
Send the troops

They must address and take responsibility on rohingya massacre too. Why people keep silent about it? Why Suu Kyi and general of Myanmar people let the genocide happen? Recently rohingya refugees stranded on the sea. Now a days, the military have teased Suu Kyi and people of Myanmar to the core. They demand democracy because it is convenience them but rohingya massacre.
Will Suu Kyi do something to help rohingya after Myanmar get the democracy? Why people of Myanmar give less emphaty on ethnic cleansing of rohingya?
RCN, useless, and they also half democracy and communist.
No, Indonesia is the most heartless.
I really hope they push the military to the limits of mo return,what I dont understand is the shootings of peacefull demonstrations,the police are shooting real live rounds,how do you feel as a policeman,who had killed a young person and go home and tell your family you love them?? This is the people previous to the military takeover who protected their citizens against crime and misconduct.
indonesia disebut gaes
Why the police use plastic bullet to shoot the protestor? that will cause injury. Use tear gas will do.
fact 1:
the myanmar buddhis monk killed rohingya’s muslim and the leaders of myanmar are silence.
fact 2:
the people of myanmar killed by the army.
fact 3:
fact 2 just like indonesia, by the army and the police.
fact 4: indonesian minister silence about fact 1 dan fact 3.
suggest: indonesia minister should silence about fact 2.
Removed myanmar in ASEAN for good.
Asean is a useless association
ASEAN is a waste of them unless they are prepared to sent in a contingent of crack troops to confront the bullies in the Myanmar “army”.
Seem that the junta is prepared to kill many of it own people with no common sense. It time for asean countries to sent in the combined armies to fight against the junta with Myanmar people.
These are not police, they are military personnel dress in police uniforms and there are snipers shooting at the protesters.
