Since February 2021, the Myanmar crisis has been a defining challenge for ASEAN. Malaysia has made this a key priority during its ASEAN Chairmanship.

In this fourth episode of “Malaysia’s ASEAN Moment”, Lilianne Fan (Head of Secretariat for the Malaysian Advisory Group on Myanmar) shares insights into the current situation in Myanmar, the complex dynamics at play, and the ongoing challenges in delivering humanitarian assistance, particularly in the aftermath of the March 2025 earthquake.

Discussions also include how the Rohingya issue factors into Myanmar’s wider political challenges, and how both ASEAN and Malaysia can play a more effective role in conflict resolution.
