   I can only imagine that Aung San Suu Kyi is under the thumb of the Malaysia junta.

      @zoowar I saw in the café that she was in the news holding some speech. Anything in particular?

         @zoowar Looks like some Rohingya stuff, that's what I figured. The interview clips Trevor Noah criticized last week were pretty embarrassing.

            It's good that she finally speaks out in any way against the ongoing pogrom, but:

            I'm sure it has something to do with your military. But on the other hand it's not like she is actually in control of them -- she's the head of state at their mercy.

               Sorry. Aung San Suu Kyi is "state councillor", not even on paper do they allow her to be head of state. The formal president is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htin_Kyaw , but apparently he works for her.
