The situation in Myanmar remains tense. On 23 February 2021, Associate Professor Simon Tay, Chairman of the SIIA, said in an interview with Channel NewsAsia, “The role of outsiders, honestly, is very limited.

This government have been used to such sanctions for decades.” Catch the full interview here (from 1:16:51 to 1:24:15).
