Still about Myanmar's possible chairmanship of ASEAN

Another bit of news suggesting that Myanmar will decline chairmanship of ASEAN, from ST (May 4; subscription required):

Military-ruled Myanmar, under pressure from the United States and other Western nations for its repression of democracy, may back away from the chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, a senior Thai official said on Wednesday.

But like I said before, even if it happens, it may not mean much for the future of the country. In the meantime, The Aseanist sticks by its earlier prediction.
