Another diplomatic trip to Burma ends badly

Malaysia's Foreign Minister, Syed Hamid Alber, cut short a state visit to Burma this week, heading home a day earlier than planned.

It's speculation, but probably grounded in fact, to assume that he bolted after he learned the junta would not let him see Aung San Suu Kyi or any other members of the NLD, in jail or not.

ASEAN is making noises like they're tiring of Burma's schtick. That would be refreshing, as they've been conducting business as usual w/ the fascist military government in Rangoon for over a decade so far.
