(Myanmar/Burma)

According to The New Light of Myanmar (see below), the Hluttaw has discussed and (according to some reports) passed amendments to the Constitutional Tribunal Law. Unfortunately, I don't yet have a copy of the amended law.

Ten MPs discussed his proposal. Deputy Minister for Immigration and Population U Win Myint said plans have been laid to help surveyors cooperate with local tribesmen in taking national census in 2014 for correctness of the name of tribesmen. The majority of the Hluttaw voted in favour of the proposal and the session came to an end in the noon.-MNA
