New MPs must submit biographies for 'Hluttaw history'

NAY PYI TAW — Parliament Office has asked all newly elected MP’s to submit their biographies for a “personal history of Hluttaw MPs” to be published early next year, parliament officials said Saturday.

Letters have been sent to the winning political parties telling them to send curriculum vitae of all elected MP’s with a license-size photograph to the office of the speaker of Hluttaw not later than December 29, Upper House Director-General U Kyi Min told Frontier.  

The request applies to all elected MPs in the upper and lower houses who won their seats in the November 8 general election and are scheduled to attend the opening session of the new parliament on January 31.    

The book of MPs’ personal history will be published in January.
