Myanmar's Labour Ministry has urged its Thai counterpart to extend nationality verification (NV) for migrant workers, claiming that Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra had promised it during her visit to the neighbouring country.

Myo Aung, director-general of the ministry's Department of Labour, insisted that the Thai premier had vowed to extend NV for three months during her visit to Dawei.

Ms Yingluck travelled to Myanmar on Monday to address the cooperation on the Dawei deep-sea port project.

It appears this "family" thinks it runs the show single handed. No difference with any dictatorship, but this time with a smile.

I don't believe she made any promise especially if she didn't have the script written by her brother, the DL.
