LETTER | M'sian govt must curb military violence in Myanmar Modified10:19 am - LETTER | We, the Transnational Coalition for the Arts or Transnation, a coalition of over 45 artist organisations and individuals in Malaysia and beyond, urge the Malaysian government to take stricter measures to curb military violence in Myanmar. Since the military coup on Feb 1, over 750 innocent civilians have been killed. The military junta, led by chief Min Aung Hlaing, has little respect for human life. Unarmed protestors were beaten and killed, children and health workers were shot at, schools and houses were bombed indiscriminately. Regardless of the atrocity, the people of Myanmar have continued to protest against the coup, clearly indicating that the military junta has eroded its moral standing and political legitimacy.
