Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called for Myanmar’s military to release Aung San Suu Kyi in an interview with the BBC on Tuesday (March 2). Lee said the military knows it is in the country's best interest to reach an arrangement with the elected civilian government. He also said outsiders would have little influence on the military, as sanctions would only hurt ordinary people. Lee’s remarks come just over a month after Myanmar’s army detained Aung San Suu Kyi, the country’s elected leader.
