Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi, who was forced to spend years of solitude under house arrest, has hit out at young people “wasting time” on computer games and social networking.
The veteran opposition politician, whose party will soon take power after winning landmark elections last November, made the comments in a letter to organisers of a literary festival at the weekend in Yangon.
“Our lifestyles are changing nowadays as technology improves,” she wrote in a public letter to the Nobel-Myanmar Literary Festival posted online late Saturday.
“Now our children waste a lot of their time on computer games, Internet games and social networks. Children read less because the use of technology has increased,” she added. (Courtesy of Japan Today)
