    • 2016 February 24, Janelle Saffin, “USDP Government & Presidential spokesperson’s silly and shocking statement on Section 59(f)”, in Mizzima:
      To call upon Aung San Suu Kyi’s adult sons to renounce their British citizenship, as U Ye Htut did, so that their Mother can become President is as unjust as the 2008 Constitution, which fails the test of good design and good process. Because of the circumstances of the country, her sons had their Burmese citizenship removed. These are innocent sons provoked to consider an invidious scenario by the boofish behaviour of a few.
