KAWHMU (Myanmar) • Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, in a rare public appearance since her election triumph, took to the streets of Myanmar to pick up rubbish to highlight her party's commitment to public service.
Ms Suu Kyi has told newly minted MPs from her National League for Democracy (NLD) party, which took nearly 80 per cent of contested seats in the Nov 8 polls, that they are quite literally responsible for keeping their constituencies clean.
