Oath crisis resolved; NLD to enter parliament
Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Monday said she would swear an oath in Burma’s parliament, after a political row that saw her delay her debut in the legislature.
The Nobel laureate told reporters at her National League for Democracy party headquarters in Rangoon she would take the swearing-in oath “according to the desire of the people.”
The NLD had postponed their entrance into parliamentary last Monday in defiance of taking an oath that would have parliamentarians swearing to ‘safeguard’ the country’s controversial constitution.
While the details concerning how the political impasse was resolved has yet to surface, the Associated Press is reporting that the NLD will make their parliamentary debut on Wednesday.

As Alice said things are getting curious-er and curious-er.
NLD clever now. You lose face in this case but just admit it and learn from mistake. Next time, please plan at least for 5~10 years and do it systematically. If the can plan simple tasks in order, the furture of NLD is not so bright.
Sometimes, those stupid people inside NLD has no brain. No impressive. If DASSK is not around, no way they can lead people. This is not like a chewing betal nuts what NLD’s Nyan Win used to do in his whole life. It’s a GREAT mind game between China & US led West. Country needs many very wise leaders with balancing act. NLD must reform, kicking out those deface the image by creating such an oath issue. If NLD drafted a future constitution, they may also wants people to safeguard it, right? So see a bit more further please…..
I feel that NLD made a mistake in this case. It just delayed their presence in the parliment and slowdown the change momemtun.It is absolutely okey to swear the oath as the constitution can still be amended later after obtaining more than 75% of the vote.
Ms Suu Kyi has managed to get the people’s msg across,one up for Ms Suu Kyi.Generals pl be ready for more challenges.
