Explanation
Myanmar does not border Vietnam — its neighbours are India, China, Bangladesh, Laos, and Thailand — so statement 1 is false. As of the exam period, Myanmar was under a military-backed government (2 true); the National League for Democracy was deregistered and barred from the 2010 elections, which it boycotted (3 true); and Myanmar has been an ASEAN member since 1997 (4 true). Hence 2, 3 and 4.
