Sydney, March 19 

Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday pulled out of a public speech and question-and-answer session in Sydney because she was “not feeling well”, the event’s organisers said.

Suu Kyi has been under fire internationally for her public silence about a military crackdown in Myanmar’s Rakhine state.

She was to make a keynote speech at the Lowy Institute think-tank in Sydney on Tuesday. “This afternoon the Lowy Institute was informed by the Myanmar embassy that the State Counsellor will no longer be able to participate in this event as she is not feeling well,” a spokeswoman for the think-tank said in a statement. — AFP
