Lawmakers participated in discussions over the proposal sent by the President to rename the Ministry of Industry and Micro, Small and Medium-sized and Enterprises Development as the Ministry of Industry and Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Development, at the eighth-day meeting of the third regular session of the Third Pyidaungsu Hluttaw in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
Subsequently, Union Minister for Industry and Micro, Small and Medium-sized and Enterprises Development Dr Charlie Than said that using the phrase “micro, small and medium-sized enterprises” in the proposed amended title would clearly distinguish the enterprises into three categories based on their sizes. So, the Union minister sought approval from the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw to rename the title of the ministry. As no one objected to the proposal, the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw approved it.
Deputy Minister for Finance and Revenue U Kyaw Htin also sought approval from the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw to grant the extension for Specific Goods Tax and Commercial Tax on High-Speed Diesel (HSD 500 ppm) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for October and November.
Lawmakers discussed the extension of the Specific Goods Tax and Commercial Tax on HSD 500 ppm and LNG for October and November. The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw approved the proposal.
Moreover, lawmakers participated in the discussions over granting Specific Goods Tax exemption for five vehicles imported for the Paletwa-Zorampur two-lane road construction project. Deputy Minister for Construction U Myo Myint expressed gratitude to the lawmakers for their thorough discussion over the proposal, and he pledged that the vehicles will be used effectively in the relevant work project. The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw approved the proposal by vote.
With regard to the 2025 annual report of the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission, Chairman of the commission U Thit Linn Ohn explained the formation of the commission with 13 members assigned to relevant subjects, establishment of its branches in Nay Pyi Taw, Mandalay, Sittway and Pathein, and activities of the commission.
The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Speaker announced that the lawmakers wishing to discuss the report could register with the director-general of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Office.
