A total of 208 out of 209 Hluttaw representatives attended the fourth-day event of the second regular session of the Third Amyotha Hluttaw yesterday.
In replying to the questions raised by U Thein Hlaing from the Sagaing Region Constituency 7, Deputy Minister for Construction U Myo Myint said that the Myanmar National Building Code-2020 was revised through cooperation among technical working groups, the Myanmar Earthquake Committee and the Myanmar Geosciences Association and published in July 2025. The Construction Sector Development Law 2026 was enacted as the National Defence and Security Council Law 5/2026 on 4 February 2026 to compulsorily abide by the Myanmar National Building Code 2025. At present, the rules are being formulated.
The deputy ministers also answered the questions raised by Sai Win Khaing from the Shan State Constituency 10, saying that the resurfacing of the eight-inch-thick and 5,000-foot-long section of the Tangyan-Nawngpha Road within Tangyan town will be included in Shan State’s regional development plan starting from the 2027-2028 financial year, using allocated state funds.
He also responded to the questions raised by U Aung Kyaw Min from the Ayeyawady Region Constituency 4. He said that Ayeyawady Region, being a delta area with heavy rainfall, experiences a reduction in the bearing capacity of subgrade soil during the monsoon season. In addition, damage has occurred in certain road sections due to vehicles carrying loads exceeding the permitted weight limits passing through these roads. Hence, vehicles carrying loads beyond the specified weight limits will be prevented. During the open season, repair works will be planned based on the extent of road damage, depending on the availability of funds.
He also replied to the questions of U Aung Kyaw Min from the Ayeyawady Region Constituency 7, saying that when selecting bids during tender opening and evaluation, it should not be based solely on price. Instead, selection must be carried out by applying a scoring system in accordance with Paragraph 62 and Paragraphs 92 to 98 of the former President’s Office Directive 7/2020, which must be duly followed.
Amyotha Hluttaw Speaker U Aung Lin Dwe sought approvals for the replacement of Hluttaw representatives at the Bill Committee, the Hluttaw Rights Committee, the Government Guarantees, Pledges and Undertakings Vetting Committee, and the International Relations Committee.
The Speaker also sought approvals, and the Hluttaw approved the formation of the Non-Governmental Internal and External Organizations Committee, chaired by Daw Mie Mie Kyaw Tun from the Kachin State Constituency 4. The Speaker submitted a proposal for the formation of the Health and Sports Committee, chaired by Dr Naing Lin from the Kayah State Constituency 9.
The Amyotha Hluttaw will continue on 12 June. — MNA/TTA
