Facing international pressure, Myanmar’s de facto leader State Counsellor Aung Sung Suu Kyi cancelled a trip to the United Nation General Assembly this week. In this particular case, there is an additional problem because of the long-standing issue in Myanmar regarding the Rohingya. One is the issue on citizenship for the Rohingya within Myanmar, and another is the illegal immigration issue between Myanmar and Bangladesh.

So, frankly, whether it is Suu Kyi or anybody else, the army will stay equally powerful no matter who comes in as a state counsellor.
