The National League for Democracy will throw a party to mark what would have been the 101st birthday of independence leader Aung San had he lived to a ripe old age.
Aung San played a key role in throwing off the British colonial regime before he was shot dead in 1947.
But his daughter and head of the NLD, Aung San Suu Kyi, can’t make the bash, set for February 13 at the party headquarters.
With the NLD set to take power sometime next month, she probably has other things to do.
Nonetheless, the event sounds like a winner, with poem recitations and portrait painting scheduled.
Adorably, a children’s speech-making contest will be organized in honor of the late General, according to the Voice, “in order to develop their intelligence and to have a more honest attitude”.
