Aung San Suu Kyi has warned newly minted MPs she will not tolerate poor discipline or wrongdoing, party members said Saturday, as Myanmar's democracy champion began marshaling her opposition for government amid sky-high expectations.

Search teams said Tuesday they had abandoned hope of finding survivors from a landslide in north Myanmar's jade mining heartland which killed more than 100 people.

It is one of the deadliest incidents surrounding the billion-dollar jade trade that enriches a shadowy elite while destroying the local environment and social structure.

Around 100 people have died in a huge landslide in a remote jade mining area of northern Myanmar, officials said Sunday, as search teams continued to find bodies in one of the deadliest disasters to strike the country's shadowy jade industry.

Aung San Suu Kyi's pro-democracy party returned to parliament Monday fresh from a landslide election victory but still cautious over the delicate power transition ahead.

Myanmar's diverse ethnic minority parties were counting their losses on Saturday after Aung San Suu Kyi's pro-democracy party won a landslide victory in historic polls.
