New bill may give 'PM-type' role to Aung Suu Kyi
Myanmar Parliament's Upper House on Friday passed a bill that seeks to give National League for Democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi similar powers to that of a Prime Minister. The bill, that still needs to be cleared by the Lower House, makes a specific reference to the 70-year-old Nobel laureate. However, military-aligned politicians opposed the bill calling it "unconstitutional".
