‘Have sympathy for us’: Aung San Suu Kyi embraced by migrant Rohingya workers during visit to Thailand

In a demonstration of her popular appeal, Myanmar de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi received a rapturous welcome on Thursday as she presided over a town hall-type meeting with some of the huge population of migrant workers from her homeland who eke out a living in Thailand.

Suu Kyi met with Myanmar migrant workers in Samut Sakhon province near Bangkok, where she urged them to be honest with their employers and hosts in Thailand and to abide by the law. Suu Kyi likened them to guests of Thailand and urged them to talk with their employers to find solutions to any issues that may arise.

“When living together, it is normal that some little difficulties or problems may occur, but talking over them is the best solution,” Suu Kyi said. (Courtesy of scmp.com)
