Burma’s Lower House Speaker Win Myint warned parliamentarians on Wednesday not to post comments on social media that “would undermine the dignity and integrity of Parliament,” after a lawmaker took to Facebook to express disappointment that a proposal she had put forward was rejected.
Win Myint also took the lawmaker, Khin Saw Wai of the Arakan National Party’s (ANP), to task for talking to the media about her proposal before it had been formally submitted, a violation of parliamentary protocol.
“[Talking to the media] could lead to a misunderstanding of what’s going on in the Parliament,” he told the Lower House on Wednesday. (Courtesy of Irrawaddy)
