    News, Published on 03/06/2012

    » Anyone keeping up with news and current events in Thailand in the past week could not help but be struck by the tremendous difference in the behaviour of national political leaders here and that of the visiting leader of Myanmar's opposition National League for Democracy Party. As Aung San Suu Kyi was taking her first steps outside the country since 1988, most of that time spent under house arrest, the Thai parliament descended into yet another display of extreme partisan and at times juvenile behaviour. In contrast Mrs Suu Kyi looks and acts the part of a consummate political leader, stemming from the impression that everything she does is with the best interests of the people of Myanmar at heart. There seems little doubt that the real reason Myanmar President Thein Sein cancelled his trip to Bangkok to attend the World Economic Forum on East Asia in Bangkok last week is that he feared being upstaged by Mrs Suu Kyi, who gave a keynote address at the conference on Friday. She has certainly upstaged local political leaders.
