Bridget Welsh, writing for The Jakarta Post, critiques Malaysia’s ASEAN chairmanship under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, warning that it risks being too centered on Anwar rather than ASEAN’s collective goals. She highlights concerns over Anwar’s choice of former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra as an ASEAN adviser, which has stirred controversy in Thailand and complicated efforts on Myanmar’s crisis. Additionally, Welsh points to Malaysia’s lack of a concrete plan to address ASEAN’s pressing issues, citing the recent ASEAN foreign ministers’ meeting in Langkawi as evidence of inadequate leadership and understanding of Myanmar’s ongoing turmoil under military rule.
