Doctor-model hits back at ban

Arguing a point: Nang Mwe San, who worked for five years as a general practitioner, argues that there are no specific restrictions on dress codes in medical ethics

Yangon: A Myanmar doctor and model who had her medical licence revoked for posting lingerie photos of herself blasted the government for “interfering” with personal freedoms, vowing to appeal against the medical council’s decision in a deeply conservative country.

Nang Mwe San frequently updates her Facebook – the main mode of online communication in Myanmar – with photos of herself dressed in swimsuits and lingerie, mimicking US model Kendall Jen­ner’s sheer outfits, as well as form-fitting traditional wear.
