KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 — Progress towards implementing the Association of South-east Asian Nations’ (Asean) five-point consensus on the crisis in military-ruled Myanmar has been "painfully slow”, Malaysia’s foreign minister said today.

"The 5-Point Consensus is an important breakthrough, and a means for ASEAN to engage and assist Myanmar towards a return to normalcy. However, we must admit that developments on the consensus is painfully slow,” Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said on Twitter.
