– If we want to preserve the legacy of my father, we must build a truly democratic state said Aung San Suu Kyi in his speech.
Aung San played an important role in the struggle which led to independence from Britain, and he is highly respected in Myanmar today. Aung San Suu Kyi spoke about the danger a number of times in the campaign before she was elected to the National Assembly in 2012.
