Myanmar believes Cambodia will lead ASEAN fairly  Myanmar is confident that Cambodia will carry out its duties as chair of ASEAN this year fairly, said Myanmar junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun.  Speaking to Friday, Zaw Min Tun said there were "good results" from Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen's visit to Myanmar last week.  He also said international pressure on Myanmar was not easing, but the country would not bow to pressure.  Hun Sen's meeting with junta leader General Min Aung Hlaing underlined the first visit by a Cambodian head of government to Myanmar since a military coup in Myanmar last year.  Hun Sen's visit is a blow to international efforts to isolate Myanmar's generals.   Malaysia's Foreign Minister Saifuddin Abdullah meanwhile voiced concern that Hun Sen's visit could be seen as a regional acknowledgment of the junta currently in power in Myanmar.  "There are those who think that he should not make the visit because his visit has been interpreted as an acknowledgment of the military in Myanmar," Saifuddin told reporters in Kuala Lumpur, Thursday (13/1).  “Malaysia is of the opinion that she has the right to visit Myanmar as head of the Cambodian government. However, we also feel that since he has served as chairman of ASEAN, he might be able to consult with other ASEAN leaders and take our views on what he should do if he goes to Myanmar," Saifuddin said, adding  Myanmar has been in turmoil since the coup ensued. The military military used lethal force to quell protests and faced armed resistance in various areas from opponents it called “terrorists.”  Thousands of people have been arrested and the ousted leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, 76, convicted of crimes including sedition and violate the rules of the corona virus.  ASEAN late last year took the unprecedented step of excluding Min Aung Hlaing from the summit of the leaders of the Southeast Asian countries.   The refusal to attend was based on Min's failure to implement a five-point peace plan to end hostilities and initiate inclusive dialogue, which he had agreed with ASEAN.  Saifuddin said it was unclear whether Cambodia, as chair of ASEAN, would continue to exclude Myanmar's junta from ASEAN meetings until it showed progress in dealing with the post-coup crisis.  Earlier, Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn said his country as ASEAN chair would take a "different approach" to the Myanmar crisis.  According to Myanmar state media, Min Aung Hlaing thanked Hun Sen for "standing with Myanmar".

Mr. Shikaoka pointed out that although the number of such demonstrations has decreased due to the hate speech elimination law enacted in 2016, the town proclamation that encourages the exclusion of foreigners is still repeated. In particular, hate speech on the Internet is common, and if left unchecked, the discriminatory consciousness of "I can write this far" and "I can't help being told this" will permeate society. Emphasized.   As a result, it becomes more difficult for victims to speak up, and more people live by hiding their roots. "There are citizens who live in fear and suffering.
