What doesn't take time though is speaking out about the ethnic cleansing operations being carried out by the military. Her comments at the World Economic Forum on ASEAN were beyond pathetic:
"There are of course ways in which, with hindsight, the situation could’ve been handled better,"
“But we believe that in order to have long-term security and stability we have to be fair to all sides. We can’t choose who should be protected by rule of law,” she said."[1]
In the same speech she addressed the two recently jailed journalists with the following:
>"The judgement … had nothing to do with freedom of expression at all, it had to do with the Official Secrets Act,” she said. “I don’t think anybody has actually bothered to read it."[1]
There's a difference between playing the long game and being complicit.
