Aung San Suu Kyi warned a campaign rally about the possibility of riots orchestrated by certain people on the Election Day. She wanted people to remain alert since a peaceful election would be of great importance for Burmese people to establish a national reconciliation.
'Elections are essential in all democratic systems. You understand that the election is about choosing people capable of leading a new government,' said Suu Kyi, emphasizing the importance of the election.
According to Suu Kyi, the election would change the system of government and eliminate a system where leaders sought opportunities but neglected responsibility. In this case, the support of the people would be necessary.
She said the NLD was established for national reconciliation. When they became the government, their level of consideration would reflect their reputation. The system would need to be changed. However, she reminded the people not to be worry that NLD would become a government.
'Unjust opportunities must be surrendered. The NLD does not bear grudge against those wishing to live peacefully. The NLD has no principle of revenge. Past events are the lessons we will have to take,' the Nobel Laureate said.(+++)
