Suu Kyi attacks global media for 'false news' on conflict

The head of Myanmar's government, Aung San Suu Kyi, yesterday criticised foreign media outlets for reporting false news on an ongoing conflict involving the army in the country's troubled Rakhine state.

In a statement that was published on her Facebook page, the Nobel peace laureate calls out CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera and Singaporean broadcaster Channel News Asia.

In an exclusive interview with Channel News Asia that was published the same day, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi complained that the international community is "always drumming up calls for bigger fires of resentment". (Courtesy of malaysiakini.com)
