Myanmar's Suu Kyi casts vote in landmark election
YANGON: Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi, democracy hero and one-time political prisoner under military rule, arrived at a polling station in Yangon on Sunday to cast her vote in the country's first free election in 25 years.
Suu Kyi's car inched through a scrum of news photographers waiting outside the school building, and she was stony-faced as bodyguards shouted at people to move out of the way.
Most in the crowd of well-wishers gathered there were lucky to get a glimpse of the garland on Suu Kyi's hair as she went inside to vote without a smile or a wave.
