Thank you, Ian. Good morning everyone, and thanks to the organizer professor Li Chenyang. It was my pleasure to be invited and I am happy to be back to Kunming.

My paper today is on national parliament, they should be talked about.Renestles on political parliament in Myanmar has been my main research focus in the past two years and a half. With this paper I would like to have a closer look at the profiles and backgrounds of national MPs, the 658 MPs elected and voted military MPs sitting in Naypyitaw parliament. Who sits in the parliament? Who are these MPs? What they do before coming into parliaments? And many other questions the paper will related to. The reason for closer look at the profiles of MPs is that scholarship and comparative literature for politics and parliament shows that the political profiles and past experiences of legislators are key elements shaping their perceptions of the parliament and legislative affairs. This is the first point and the second point is that socioeconomic and educational backgrounds of MPs strongly affect the patterns of their legislative behaviors.
