National League for Democracy chairperson Aung San Suu Kyi said the parliament is a place where everyone will have to work together for the sake of the nation and its citizens. She urged parliamentarians to exercise people-centred leadership without being “group-centred”.
She spoke at the parliament meeting in Nay Pyi Taw on February 15.
“MPs should not forget that we are just representatives. We represent the people in the parliament. We do not represent ourselves. All MPs should keep that in mind. The parliament is not a stage where each MP works for his or her own sake. And it’s not a ladder to climb up the ranks. It’s not a boxing ring where people with different views wrestle. It is a place where we all should try our best for the sake of the nation and the people. The people’s representatives should only take care of the people, not their parties or groups. We should live up to the good standards set by the first parliament, regardless of one’s own party, sect, religion or race, without self-centredness,” said Suu Kyi. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
