Hundreds of newly-elected Myanmar MPs from Aung San Suu Kyi’s party took lessons in lawmaking from the outgoing army-dominated parliament today, days before taking their seats in the most democratic legislature for decades.
A landslide victory for Suu Kyi’s National league for Democracy (NlD) in November polls will give the politicians their first taste of power when the new parliament convenes on February 1, a historical turning point for a nation long stifled by military rule.
