In a commentary, SMU’s Lee Kong Chian Distinguished Fellow Dr Noeleen Heyzer, a member of the United Nations’ Secretary General’s High Level Advisory Board, discussed the issue of the Rakhine/Rohingya crisis. She noted that at the 33rd ASEAN summit in Singapore last year, the issue of the Rakhine/Rohingya crisis was high on the agenda. According to Dr Heyzer, “a year later, on the eve of the 35th ASEAN Summit in Thailand (slated for Oct. 31 to Nov 4), things have not moved forward as hoped”.
