South-East Asian leaders said on Saturday they had agreed on a plan with Myanmar s junta chief to end the crisis in the violence-hit nation, but he did not explicitly respond to demands to halt the killing of civilian protesters. It s beyond our expectation, Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin told reporters after the meeting of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean) in Jakarta that was attended by Myanmar s Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. We tried not to accuse his side too much because we don’t care who’s causing it, Mr Muhyiddin said. We just stressed that the violence must stop. For him, it’s the other side that’s causing the problems. But he agreed that violence must stop.
