THANDWE, Rakhine State -- Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi took her election campaign over the weekend to the troubled western state of Rakhine, where she urged citizens to avoid religious discrimination and not be swayed by rhetoric aimed at stirring up Buddhist-Muslim tensions in the divided region.
"Hatred and fear is of no benefit to Myanmar," Suu Kyi told a crowd of around 2,000 in the coastal town of Thandwe on Oct. 17.
