Vote counting is underway in Myanmar, after the third and last round of polls in the country's month-long election. The military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party had already secured a parliamentary super majority during the first two phases of voting. Critics have called this election a sham, but military chief Min Aung Hlaing has brushed off criticism, saying what matters to him is recognition from Myanmar's own people. Leong Wai Kit reports from Hanoi.
