“Never” suspend Myanmar from ASEAN - Hamid’s statement most deplorable and reprehensible

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

I am totally flabbergasted by the statement of the Foreign Minister, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar that ASEAN will never suspend Myanmar despite its bloody crackdown on mass protests after his meeting with the United Nations special envoy Ibrahim Gambari yesterday.
