Committee representing members of the People's
Parliament elected in the 1990 multi-party general elections
(Committee representing the People's Parliament)
Notification No 9 (2/99)
Note - (addendum to Notifications 3 (1/99) and
5 (2/99)
1. The highly respected U Lun Tin, member of the NLD,
a legally constituted organisation, and the legally elected representative of
2. The authorities that decreed the Political Parties Registration Law and the Pyithu Hluttaw( People's Parliament)
Law are now themselves contravening the provisions contained in those laws by
all the illegal measures that they are taking against the central executive
committee members of the NLD and the elected People's Parliament
representatives. The action they are taking is ultra vires
the provisions of the said two laws.
3 Under the leadership of our martyred leader General Aung San, U Lun Tin, a Mon leader, fought for the country's
independence first by taking up arms and later appropriately by adopting
political means. He is respectable and honourable. He
never once resorted to armed rebellion. As a commanding officer in the Army he
performed his duties
satisfactorily. How can he ever be accused of "being a traitor?"
4. According to official records, U Lun Tin obtained
39624 votes (77.29%) to be their People's
Parliament representative.
5. As regards U Than Tun, some writers have written in praise of him that " In every era he has worked for
good".
6. (a) The People's Parliament representatives who
were elected in the free and fair elections in May 1990 can not be accused of
not fulfilling their obligations to the electorate when the authorities have
refused outright to convene the People's Parliament.
(b) The representatives have not been able to visit their constituencies
because of obstacles and prohibitions placed by the authorities.
7. Furthermore, personal attacks that should not be indulged in. It is the
reputation of the people who cast aspersions that will suffer not the people
who are defamed.
8. Making innocent and honest people perform dishonest and illegal activities by the authorities will surely be
detrimental to the country. This flouting of the law will become a habit and
ingrained in the people.
