Nay Pyi Taw, 14 Nov
Although the Hluttaw
commission to review the
electoral system recommended 8 electoral systems, the Pyithu Hluttaw
session on Friday approved
the current first-past-thepost system as the seven
others breach the provisions of the state constitution.
Concerning the electoral system, the speaker of the Pyithu Hluttaw
said some representatives
including ethnic national races raised objections
to changing the electoral
system to a proportional
representation system but
he formed the commission
to review the electoral systems.
When the commission

the recommendations to

Ultra-nationalists in
Israel are challenging a

Mount. But Judeh said Netanyahu had showed commitment to maintaining

and respecting the Jordanian monarchys custodianship of holy sites.
Judeh said Jordan
would not return its ambassador to Tel Aviv, whom it
recalled last week in protest
against Israeli actions, until
it saw concrete evidence
of measures to defuse tensions.
Israel has to remove
all the elements of instability that we are seeing. We
have to wait and see if this
is done, he said.
Earlier, Abdullah accused Israel of repeated
attacks on holy sites in Jerusalem and said they must
stop. Jordanian religious
officials who administer
the Muslim sites have said
there has been an unprecedented number of raids
by ultra nationalists inside
the mosque this year. Netanyahu has accused Palestinians in the West Bank of
fomenting violence.
Jordanian officials fear
wider unrest in the West
Bank could spill over into
their own country, where a
majority of the population
are descendents of Palestinians who fled across the
river Jordan following the
creation of Israel in 1948.

CHARACTER
Kyi Mun
Character means: Distinguishing quality or qualities;
mental or moral strengths; reputation.
Character is what you are
The meaning of character can be analytically considered in the following way:
C for Conscience
H for Honour
A for Attitude
R for Responsibility
A for Accountability
C for Caring
T for Temperament
E for Empathy
R for Relationships
CONSCIENCE
Conscience means moral sense of right and wrong,
especially as affecting persons behavior. A person of
good, upright character will never think or say or do
against his or her conscience. He or she is very likely to
uphold the principles of: Do unto others as you would be
done by, or As you sow, so shall you reap.
HONOUR
Honour means good personal character; reputation
(for good behavior, loyalty, truthfulness, etc.). A person
of reputable character will always respect, uphold and
protect his or her honour. Honour must be paid to those to
As is known to all, Myanmar, as a nascent democracy, has just crawled out of the painful days of
seclusion and landed in a political reform that allows all-inclusiveness, since the transition from military to civilian rule that began in March 2011.
Since then, world media has stated that President U
Thein Sein, a former general, may go down in history as the man who led the irreversible change. On
his visits to foreign countries as well as at the UN
General Assembly in 2012, he pledged that Myanmar will never retrace its steps.
In an interview with The Irrawaddy magazine,
US President Barack Obama, who was in Nay Pyi
Taw on Thursday for an Asian summit, noted that
Myanmar is still at the beginning of a long and hard
journey of renewal and reconciliation, praising the
release of more political prisoners, a process of constitutional reform and ceasefire agreements with
ethnic armed groups.
Undoubtedly, this marks a turning point in the
political landscape of Myanmar. In our march towards a democratically prosperous and peaceful
country, we cannot afford any misstep that might
trigger backsliding which would in turn bring the
ongoing achievements to a standstill.
Frankly speaking, Myanmar has more important steps to be taken to realize its dreams. It
is understandable that disagreement arises out of
politics and governance. It is imperative for stakeholders to bear in mind that the age of Im right.
Youre wrong should now be a thing of the past.
TEMPERAMENT
Temperament means a persons disposition or nature,
especially as it affects his or her way of thinking, feeling
and behaving. A person of robust character usually has a
good, positive temperament. He or she has patience, consideration, forbearance and forgiveness as personal characteristics.
EMPATHY
Empathy means the ability to understand other peoples feelings and problems. Empathy also means the
power of identifying oneself mentally with person or object of contemplation. A person of superb character usually has the habit of putting himself or herself in another
persons shoes. He or she has consideration on the one
hand and courage on the other so as to attain a position of
win-win situation.
RELATIONSHIP
A person of strong character gives other people respect and regards them as follow beings. He or she has a
natural tendency to associate with them and to enjoy their
companionship. He or she has natural, personal social responsibility for other people, especially for the haves-less.
He or she is a people-person.
CONCLUSION
Character is the manifestation of ones whole life. If
character is reinforced by Competence, Commitment,
Courage and Conviction, such a character will become a
compelling companion or an unbeatable opponent.
