- Cambodia’s top diplomat Prak Sokhonn said the ‘political and security crisis in Myanmar is deepening’ as Prime Minister Hun Sen prepares to visit Naypyidaw
- The upheaval has bad implications for ‘regional stability … Asean’s image and credibility,’ he added
…
Myanmar has “all the ingredients for civil war”, Cambodia, chair of Southeast Asia’s regional bloc, has warned ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Hun Sen to the violence-wracked country.
Myanmar has been in chaos since a coup last year, with more than 1,400 people killed in a crackdown on dissent by security forces, according to a local monitoring group.
Hun Sen, whose country this year holds the rotating chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) bloc, will visit Myanmar on Friday and Saturday in an effort to defuse the crisis.

- By dragging its heels on condemning Naypyidaw, Washington risks revealing where its true motivations lie – especially after February’s coup, writes Maria Siow

US reclassifies Covid-19 travel advisory for Singapore to ‘unknown’
WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) – The United States Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday (Jan 4) reclassified its Covid-19 travel advisory for Singapore, guiding Americans to avoid travel to the South-east Asian nation because the level of the disease there is “unknown”.
“Because the current situation in Singapore is unknown, even fully vaccinated travellers may be at risk for getting and spreading Covid-19 variants,” the CDC said in its advisory.
On its website, the CDC said it uses Covid-19 data reported by the World Health Organisation and other official sources to make determinations about Travel Health Notice (THN) levels.
