Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak had strong words for Aung San Suu Kyi as he led a rally in Kuala Lumpur to show solidarity with the Muslim Rohingya in Rakhine State, also known as Arakan State.
His comment to the baying crowds of "enough is enough" aimed at the State Counsellor has risked a diplomatic fissure with neighbouring Myanmar. Before Mr Najib joined the rally, a terse exchange of words between the two governments ended with a Union government spokesperson reminding Malaysia not to interfere in Myanmar's internal affairs.
Mr Najib responded to this request at the rally, asking "do they [Myanmar government] want me to close my eyes? Want me to be mute?" (Courtesy of bangkokpost.com)
