Around 80 percent of Naypyitaw’s ministerial buildings were allegedly left unusable by the March 28 earthquake.

While his regime bombed civilians throughout the New Year festival, Min Aung Hlaing claimed the planned polls will be “free and fair” and he wants to solve conflicts by political means.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says he urged Min Aung Hlaing to stop fighting and allow quake aid during their meeting in Bangkok on Thursday.

Anwar, the current ASEAN chair holder, spoke with Mahn Winn Khaing Thann in a videocall after Thursday’s talks with the Myanmar junta chief in Bangkok.

The meeting drew sharp criticism from rights groups, who say engaging the junta chief risks legitimizing Myanmar’s brutal military regime.

The March 28 quake reduced much of the regime’s capital to rubble, exposing the rotten foundations of military rule.

Targets of countrywide aerial attacks included monasteries where people gathered over the festive period, with monks and novices among the dead and injured.
