Myanmar will still be far away from peace and progress as long as those who do not want reform exist in parliament, said Upper House MP Dr Myat Nyana Soe from the National League for Democracy. 

The MP made the remark after the media questioned him about any comparison between the first and second parliamentary terms regarding the charter change move on March 18. 

He said the current constitutional change move had carried details such as sections and sub-sections so as to elicit true wish but the result in the second term was not very different from that in the second term, he commented. 

“As there is no difference, I think it’s because they have no desire to change. In the first parliamentary term, there were those who didn’t want to see change. In the second term also, there are such people. We will try our continued effort in the third and fourth terms. Our country will still be far away from peace and progress so long as the parliament still has those who do not want reform,” said MP Dr Myat Nyana Soe. 

He, however, urged the people not to be discouraged stressing the need for unity and burning desire to overcome the deadlock.
