London, Sept 19 (ANI): Myanmar democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, who spent years under house arrest without any telephone or Internet facility, has said that she has been 'too busy' to use Twitter or Facebook, since her release from detention.
Shortly after her release last November, Suu Kyi expressed her desire to use social networking sites to connect with Burma's younger generation, but she didn't have time to do so.
"I just haven't had the time. If I were to tweet and so on, it would take up so much of my time," the Telegraph quoted Suu Kyi, as saying.
"I have to confess we are a bit snowed under because paying off a debt of work that has accumulated over seven years is not done in a hurry," she added.
She said that for now, her party - the National League for Democracy, would make do with websites set up by its supporters overseas.
According to the report, Facebook, in particular, is very popular in Burma, although internet speeds can be slow.
In recent weeks previously blocked foreign media sites have become visible inside Burma, including the Burmese-language version of the BBC, the paper said. (ANI)
