Soros, in a statement from New York, admitted he wanted Malaysia and Thailand to oppose Myanmar's admission to ASEAN and said he "continued to consider the acceptance of a totalitarian and repressive regime a threat to the region's prosperity and stability. However, I do not believe that the cause of freedom in Myanmar would be advanced by linking it to currency speculation." Commenting on Dr Mahathir's allegation that Soros was behind the speculation, State Department spokesman Burns said he could not speak for Soros, but described Soros as a "man of courage" whom "we respect a lot and who has done a lot of good in the world."
