It seems like all of the members of the previous government are now panicking, so they try to use the military's weight to protect themselves," said a former senior lawmaker from the army-linked Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP).
Suu Kyi's NLD won a landslide in Myanmar's first democratic election in a quarter of a century in November, kicking off a lengthy transition from the semi-civilian government that in 2011 replaced a junta that had run the country for 49 years.
That transition began with mutual handshakes and speeches about "national reconciliation", but as the talks drag on the tone of public debate - and that of legislators speaking privately - has changed.
