He then gave a brief comparative overview of parliamentary procedures in the United States, the United Kingdom, India and Thailand. Based on the pro­visions of the Pyithu Hlut­taw Rules, he explained the requirements and proce­dures governing questions under Rules 139 to 145 and motions under Rules 155 to 158. Regarding the Code of Conduct for MPs, he stressed that representa­tives must perform their duties with integrity, ac­countability and transpar­ency, while prioritizing the interests of the public. They must also avoid using their positions and authority for personal gain and prevent conflicts of interest. He further empha­sized that adherence to the Code of Conduct is es­sential to safeguarding the dignity of the Hluttaw and maintaining public trust. The Deputy Speaker also explained that the Hluttaw is formulating a five-year strategic plan, maintaining engagement with international parlia­ments and arranging over­seas visits for parliamenta­ry representatives.
