Vice-president of the Myanmar Rice Federation Soe Tun said: “In my opinion, Dr Tun Win has had long experience in agriculture and irrigation [and was] suited to the position of deputy minister. They said Dr Tun Win proposed using water for paddy fields from Yezin Dam, to breed fish in the dam and the Ayeyawady River Project. Dr Tun Win said: “I said the minister had only four months’ experience in the agriculture sector. However, Win Htein gave no reason for forcing the resignation although Dr Tun Win asked him for one. They decided it based on one-sided voices.”Publicly, many people voted for Dr Tun Win on the social network.
