Myanmar's army-backed party alleges 'contentious events' during election

YANGON - Myanmar's military-backed opposition said on Tuesday (Nov 10) there had been "many contentious events" during a parliamentary election two days ago which the ruling party says it won by a landslide, but offered no immediate evidence of violations. Mr Than Htay, leader of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), said in a video on the party's official Facebook page that it was pursuing legal options and urged viewers to send in evidence of "illegal acts". "There were many contentious events during the whole voting process, whether in line with the law or not, and more facts are coming out," he said, without specifying. "We will continue to work according to the law to receive the result our supporters want." Sunday's election was seen as a referendum on the fledgling democratic government led by Ms Aung San Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD), which remains very popular at home but has seen its overseas reputation battered by accusations of genocide against the Rohingya Muslim minority, which it denies.

Thai King writes messages of love for nation amid protests

BANGKOK - Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn wrote messages of national unity and love on Tuesday (Nov 10) during a visit to the north-east of the country two days after protesters sent him a letter demanding royal reforms that would curb his powers. The Royal Palace has made no comment on months of protests so any communications from the King are watched carefully in the South-east Asian country. "We all love and care for each other. Take care of the country, help each other protect our country with goodness for prosperity and protect Thainess," the King wrote in a message to the governor of Udon Thani province. On a picture of himself and the Queen that was brought by one of the crowd of well-wishers, the King wrote: "Love the nation, love the people, cherish Thainess, real happiness." Thousands of protesters marched to the Grand Palace in Bangkok on Sunday (Nov 8), getting within a few dozen metres of the walls despite a police blockade and a burst of water cannon, to send a message to the King.
