A prompt inquiry will be launched into the complaint over the Bago Region chief minister's inflammatory remark to education staff, said National League for Democracy spokesperson Dr Myo Nyunt.
The NLD received a complaint sent by Myanmar Teachers Federation on October 17, said Dr Myo Nyunt adding that action would be taken in accord with the party's procedures.
"We cannot do it within this week because we have many things to do. But will launch an inquiry as quickly as possible, he told The Daily Eleven on October 18.
If a decision comes to inspect the case, both sides will be questioned, he explained.
Dr Myo Nyunt told The Daily Eleven on October 17 that his party mainly enquires if the party discipline has been violated but doesn't intervene in administrative affairs.
"We will take action again any act harming the party's image in accord with the party discipline," he said.
Dr Zaw Myo Hlaing, secretary of Myanmar Teachers Federation, said: "He (the chief minister) has been assigned duty by the part elected by the people. I see his remark disregards the people. He didn't apologize seriously."
Chief Minister Win Thein is facing criticism over his remark in meeting with teachers and education staff in Damange village, Natalin township, Bago Region, on October 5.
The teachers reported their difficulty getting staff housing in the areas they are assigned to.
In response, the chief minister remarked that it was better not to have staff housing for them because they would not leave when they got married to natives. He also ironically said that young native people should woo those teachers so that they remain in their workplaces.
Just recently, the Bago Region chief minister told some media that was sorry and apologized to those teachers and he didn't mean to harm them.
Myanmar Teachers Federation issued a statement on October 12 making a 12-point demand including public apologies from him.
Dr Zaw Myo Lwin said complaints would also be sent soon to the President and the State Counsellor by post.
