Controversial ex-presidential security bill approved

MPs have approved the controversial Former Presidents' Security Bill days before the Parliament is disbanded.

The Joint Bill Committee yesterday submitted a report to Parliament about disagreements between the Lower and Upper houses over the bill. Parliament approved all 11 points of disagreement between the two houses.

The Ministry of Home Affairs is to take responsibility for ex-presidential security. The original text of the bill said this duty would be shared with the Ministry of Defence. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
