Myanmar: No Constitutional Change Before 2015 Election
By George Grow
20 November, 2014
The speaker of parliament in Myanmar says the country's constitution cannot be changed before elections a year from now. Shwe Mann spoke this week to reporters in Naypyidaw -- the capital of Myanmar, also known as Burma. He said voters will be able to take part in a referendum, or special election, on constitutional changes in May. But he said it would be impossible for any changes to take effect immediately.
He says, "Some draft laws will need a referendum. We need the people to vote on them. This will be held next May, in 2015. The results of this referendum will have to be approved by both the upper and lower houses of parliament. But the parliament will meet only after the 2015 elections."
He did not explain why changes must wait until the next parliament is seated.
Aung Kyi Nyunt serves in the current parliament. He belongs to the National League for Democracy, the party of Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. He says that delaying the changes would be a mistake.

Myanmar: No Constitutional Change Before 2015 Election
緬甸在2015年大選過后才會修改憲法
The speaker of parliament in Myanmar says the country’s constitution cannot be changed before elections a year from now. Shwe Mann spoke this week to reporters in Naypyidaw -- the capital of Myanmar, also known as Burma. He said voters will be able to take part in a referendum, or special election, on constitutional changes in May. But he said it would be impossible for any changes to take effect immediately.
緬甸議會發(fā)言人說從現(xiàn)在起到選舉之前的一年里，憲法不會改變。下議院議長瑞曼這周在緬甸的首都內(nèi)比都對記者說道。他說選民將能夠參與到全民投票中，特別是選舉，五月憲法的修改。但是他說幾乎不可能有任何變化立刻生效。
He says, “Some draft laws will need a referendum. We need the people to vote on them. This will be held next May, in 2015. The results of this referendum will have to be approved by both the upper and lower houses of parliament. But the parliament will meet only after the 2015 elections.”
他說：“一些法律草案需要全民公投，我們需要選民進(jìn)行投票，這將會在2015年的五月舉行。這次公投結(jié)果需要得到上議院和下議院的同意。但是只有2015年大選之后議會才會確定。”
He did not explain why changes must wait until the next parliament is seated.
他沒有解釋為什么非得等下一屆議會席位確定后才會有所變化。
Aung Kyi Nyunt serves in the current parliament. He belongs to the National League for Democracy, the party of Nobel Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. He says that delaying the changes would be a mistake.
Aung Kyi Nyunt是現(xiàn)任的議員，他是全國民主聯(lián)盟的一員、該政黨有諾貝獎(jiǎng)獲得者Aung San Suu Kyi。他說延期做出改變會是個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的決定。
He says “This will have an effect not only on the peace deal discussions, but also on other discussions related to stability issues. It will also affect issues related to the international community.”
他表示：“這種決定不僅影響到和平協(xié)議的討論議程，還會影響其它有關(guān)穩(wěn)定問題的討論，也會影響到國際社會問題的處理。”
Myanmar’s constitution bars Aung San Suu Kyi from becoming president. It is unlawful for any president to have a husband, wife or children who are citizens of a foreign nation. The former husband of Aung San Suu Kyi was a citizen of the United Kingdom. Her sons are British.
緬甸的憲法不允許昂山素季成為國家總統(tǒng)。任何一個(gè)總統(tǒng)的丈夫、妻子或者孩子是外國國籍都是不合法的。她前任丈夫是英國公民，她的兒子是英國人。
