"The tragic situation in Burma demands urgent attention. In so far rejecting international aid, the Burmese regime has proven their disregard for the seriousness of the situation at hand. For the victims of Cyclone Nargis, this is not an issue of politics, but of survival. I join my colleagues in urging the military regime to accept offers of assistance from the international community.
Indeed, our Asian partners also have a role to play in putting pressure on the regime in Rangoon. I reiterate my view that, in encouraging other ASEAN countries to reconsider Burma’s membership, Rangoon would encounter strong pressure to finally acknowledge the rights and freedoms that its population have been, and are still, crying out for. I join my colleagues in voting in favour of this motion."@en1
