Soe Thein, Minister for President's Office
Myanmar minister for President's Office Soe Thein challenged people to sue the government ministers if found any of them do something wrong.
"You should be reminded of that. If you are sure, you can sue. Sue any ministers if you're sure a minister or a group of them did any misconduct," Soe Thein said in a press conference held Saturday in Nay Pyi Taw.
The minister made such statement in the context of press freedom. He said press freedom in Myanmar would take time to catch up the situation in the United States but it was relatively improved.
"We [ministers] can be met and asked at any appropriate time more easily now. That was impossible before. You [reporters] can write reports," he said.
"In the last two years during the new government, sometimes we can face big problems for a petty case, and sometimes we encountered accusations that targeted us though they did not mention our names," he added.
Press freedom in many Southeast Asia nations such as Singapore and Vietnam is better in China, he said.
