Unsung Heroes

who is he? Whether his family will know or not? How many people and monks have been killed? Power hungry, cunning Junta has no mecry on people. When can our people live happily like other people from developed and developing country?

Serial Killers in Ygn

Lt Col Aung Kyaw Zaw
Who is he? High ranking authority?

Be careful of this two guys. When meet with them, do what you like. They will go to hell soon.

Massacre In Yagon day 2

Last nite Junta thugs raided the Ngwe Kyan Yan monastery and six other monastery. It is like a scene of raiding the enemy camp. Came in silently, break windows, kick sleeping monks, search everything and taken away most of the monks. Photos here see here

Despite the monks arrest, people continued to protest in Ygn and other cities. In Ygn 10 people death, including Japanese Photographer. How come firing on air hit at chest? Sharp shooter targeted to those taking photo and video?

What will Japanese goverment say? Just saying strong condemnation is not enough.

UN, AESAN, India, China, all shooting blank shots such as " restraint on use of forces, avert violence and back to national reconciliation, etc

US,UK, EU sanctions also not effective

Did they really want to save our people? Send Peacekeeping troop immediately.

Dark Day in Burmese Buddhist Calendar

At least four people were killed and 100 injured, 200 people arrested at the foot of Shwedagon Pagoda when inhuman military Junta dispersed the Monks by using tear gas and striking with baton and bayonet.
Myanmar officials said at least three monks were killed, including one who was shot as he tried to wrestle a gun away from a soldier. Two other monks were beaten to death, they told AFP. A fourth person, who was not a monk, was dead on arrival at Yangon General Hospital with gunshot wounds, a hospital source said.
It is unbelievable, I was sad, angry and ashamed myself that we are being governed by that regime.

What they say on our Monk Protest

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. "commends the peaceful approach the demonstrators are using to press their interests and he calls upon the Myanmar authorities to continue to exercise restraint,"

Americans are outraged by the situation in Burma, where a military junta has imposed a 19-year reign of fear. "The ruling junta remains unyielding, yet the people's desire for freedom is unmistakable." President Bush at the UN General Assembly

On Tuesday, two officials — one from the Communist Party's international affairs office, the other from the Foreign Ministry — said China would stay out of Myanmar's affairs.But Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu tempered the pledge with an appeal for calm. "We hope Myanmar and its people will take proper actions to resolve the issue," Jiang told reporters in Beijing.

"I hope the relevant authorities in Myanmar will not take any strong action and turn the protests into a big confrontation," ASEAN Secretary-General Ong Keng Yong

The military junta's abuse of civil rights in Myanmar is brutal. The Burmese people deserve better. They deserve a life to be able to live in freedom. The brutality of this regime is well known . '' Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

.''France's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that ``The junta will be held responsible by the international community for the safety of the protesters.'' The size of the protests ``underline the discontent of the Burmese people.''

The EU called on Myanmar's leaders to ``exercise utmost restraint in handling demonstrations,'' said Cristina Gallach, spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana. ``We hope that the regime will use this opportunity to launch a process of real political reform.''

More UN & Internation Pressure needed

Yesterday, there was a biggest demonstration lead by monks in Yangon for last 19 years. People from all walks of life participated in peaceful demonstartion. Monks were offered "Soon" by actor and comedian Zagana and Kyaw Thu and his groups at Shedagon before proceed to demonstration. I put my hat off to Zargana, Kyaw Thu and his group. It was reported that 100,000 people and monks participated in Yangon. Monks and people from Mandalay, Pegu, Pakoku, Mawlamyaing etc also took part in the demonstartion. I could not count on number of cities, monks and peoples that took part in demonstration.

Minister of Religious Affairs said that the recent young Buddhist monk demonstrations in the country were agitated by external and internal destructive elements. Oh What a lie. If there is an action against goverment, the Junta always accused that it was agiated by exeternal and internal elements. I was wondering whether they can find any other words o rather than that words as it has been repeatedly using. Oh what a shame.
He also threaten that if the monks go against the rules and regulation in the authority of Buddhust teaching, they will to take action under the existing law. This is the first time Junta has issued a statement on Monk Protest.
The Junta would not compromise with monks and they will crush the recent movement violently. Thus internation pressure is needed to avoid violent crack down on peaceful demonstration of monks andpeople.

Call for General Strike on 24 September 1:00 PM

Alliance of All Burma Buddhist Monks called for general strike 24 Spetember 1:00PM.
The demand is —“relieve the burden of the people’s daily lives, free political prisoners and national reconciliation.”
People from all walks of life will be participated in the strike, I hope.
For us who live abroad need to organize to collect money to provide to monastery and boycotters. Moemaka has already set up organizing committee and collected about 3000 US $.
DONATION NEEDED.

Monks Protest under heavy rain

(photo from various website, DVB, Khitpyiang, Mizzima)

I was so pleased, and enchanted when i found out that protesting of monks widespread to other town. In Yangon, depite heavy rain at yesterday, hundereds of monks came out and did fourth straight day protest march.

Bravo Bravo Bravo : Monks and Students

About 1,000 Buddhist monks peacefully marched through Rangoon on Thursday even though there was a heavy rian.
Hundreds of students and young people protected the monks by joining hands as a human chain.
Look at the youtube website http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eaPVQVNv7A

About 700 monks from Zaw Ti Ka Kyaung also did Protest March in Monywa and thousands of people followed them and offerd drinks. No one was arrested so far.

BRAVO STUDENTS.

I PUT MY HAT OFF TO STUDENTS

I wish that forty seven Sanga Maha Nayaka be on the people's monk side. So far there is no voice heard from them.
General Tin Htun, twin brother of Prime Minister Soe Win died of heart attack yesterday at Singapore General hospital. Tin Htun gave bone marrow to Soe Win to get Luekemia treatment. May monks not participate in offering Kaung Mhu by late General Tin Tun.

Moezack Blog: Unsung Hero

The blogger (http://www.moezac.blogspot.com/) posted photos of monks protesting in Yangon yesterday, but today it disappeared. As the blogger posted the blog inside Burma, I worry about his safety. He may be questioned by SB and could be put in jail. This is the second blogger inside Burma that disappeared on line.

That is one of the reason I dont like SPDC. No freedom of expression. Is it a crime to take photographs of monks marching and chanting? Does it diturb the nation tranquality?

Why was the Junta so scare to admit the monks protest? Only those who make mistakes or injustice do not want to expose the truth. Curtailing the truth means that SPDC is doing wrong to monks. It is a simple logic.

So I urged SPDC to admit your wrong doing to monks

Peoples Monk: Sanga Arjani

Monk at right in the picture is blocking peoples monk(Sanga Arzani) not to enter Shwedagon.

At least 400 monks, chanting prayers and walking in rows of two and three, marched in Yangon. They proceeded to Shwedagon Pagoda but barred them from entering . The authority has no right to block monks entering Shwedagon Pagaoda. So monks proceeded to Botataung pagoda.

In Bago about 1,000 monks peacefully marched to the Shwemawdaw pagoda.RFA reported that monks at Kyauk Padaung, Pakko Ku, Yenan Chaung, Aung Lan did protest march yesterday. I was suprised that there is no protest so far in Mandalay.

At Sittwe, Rakine State, about 1000 months did protest march. Thousands of people accompanied monks. The miliatry dispersed the crowds using tear gas, 2-3 people were arrested.

So far no one was arrested except at Sittwe. But The Junta will definitely arrest the leading monks shortly and quietly. "Oh Ashin Paya Mya, please perpare for escape from arrest.

Monks are chanting Metta Parita, there is no disruption of tranquality. Thus The Junta has no right to arrest them. But there is no law in Burma, the Junta will do what ever they like, like a fool. How and who can tame a fool.

19 years under Military Rule

It has been 19 years we are under military rules. No one will be against them as long as they work for country and country prosper. But the military Junta has been richer and and richer and people are more poor than 19 years ago in terms of earning. Before the Junta took power, there is no shortage of electricity supply in Rangoon. Now, people in Yangon can get electricity on alternate day or quota system that is also not predictable. The Junta newspaper mentioned that during the Junta era so many dam has constructed and has been contructing to generate electricity. Where all that newly generated electricity goes?
I could not denied that there have been improvement in road system. But construction of roads and improvement system is based on miliatry point of view so some roads and bridges were constructed unnecessarily causing inflation and burdern to people.
What is the reason behind constructing Naypyidaw? Cost a lot of money and goverment still cannot pay to subcontractor. That is also one reason petrol price have to be risen. Poor monatary sytsem implementation contribute hardship to people. Look at the University education sytem. Hundereds of University has opened but quality of education is so low. Univeristy become like State High school.
But there is world record achievement by them: Longest National Constutution Drafting Convention, took 14 years.
Poor governance, poor monatary policy, super corruption lead our mother land to poor nation

What a Lie

Do you believe that there is about 80 television set in notorious Insein Jail?
Click here for detail. Not only TV but also providing sports facilities etc. I push my eyes whether I was in a dream. Oh not in dream.
Who will believe this news. If the SPDC is so kind to prisoners, they may give serious punishment to those who arrested monks, tied to lamp post and beat them at Pakkoku.

Notes to ponder

“It’s inexcusable that we’ve got this kind of tyrannical behaviour in Asia,” President Bush at APEC meeting in Sydney.

“We hope to see reconciliation and improvement in the situation in Burma,” China spokesman Liu Jianchao at APEC meeting in Sydney.

National Convention process is flawed as it excluded opponents of the Government. The recent crackdown by Myanmar’s Government after peaceful protests over fuel prices is a setback for the country and has the effect of calling into question the Government’s commitment to democratization. . Mr. Gambari, UN Special Adviser

Blogger Liberty

I was on trip for last few days and out of touch with computer. I thought that all blog I visited before will be running smoothly as usual. Yesterday I tried to visit "May Dar Wi Blog", but could not get access to visit. I did not know why this blog could not be viewed.

When I visited "Khit Pyaing" web today, I found out that " May Dar Wi' was questioned by SB for her post article that was uploaded at "Khit Pyaing". The article was about her feeling about recent rise of fuel price. Police also questioned "Thar Phyu" and issued warning to him.

Both blogger are posting their blog inside Burma. It clearly indicated that SPDC has no mercy on the people who oppose them even in the mind.

Salute to Monks from Pakokku

It was heartening to know that about 500 monks did Protest March at Pakokku on 5 August. See detail here. It was said that the army fired 10-15 warning shots over their head and then soldiers drag away the monks and beat up bystanders with bamboo sticks.
I remembered the TV footage of people power uprising in Philippine where soldiers joined hands with people against tyrant Marcos. Yet this kind of soldiers not come out in Burma.
May monks from Mandalay join the Protest March lead by well worshipped Sa Ya Daw.

Keep On Protesting:

I salute to those who protest peacefully today in Lattputta and Kyauk Se even they know that Kyant Phut thugs will be harassing , or they might get arrested.

General Ramos and Cardinal Sin led people to overthrow Marcos regime. People of Burma need one general like Ramos and one Saya Daw Gyi(monk) like Cardinal Sin. A general who back people to overthrow the present Junta will be well loved by all walks of life from Burma. Foe Saya Daw like Cardinal Sin will be well worshipped.

Guiness World Record Convention Ended

Maung Sit Naing is not happy while writing this blog as Kyaw San , Information Minister, could not invite the jury from the World Guiness Record book to witness the closing ceremony of National Convention, started on January 9, 1993, as it close quietly on 03-09-07. No diplomats and foreign media were present at the closing ceremony.

As a dutiful citizen, I will provide the email address: downspdc@bullshitguniess.com.mm

Junta's Achievement

Three Burmese news paper, Myan Ma Alin, Kye Mon, Working People Daily, describe almost daily on stories of SPDC’s achievements and success.
I read the following uncensored news from Bangkok.

About 20,000 Burmese, in Mae Sot in northern Thailand lined up on Sunday (02-09-07) to receive free rice from Chinese donors. Burmese residents living in Myawaddy, opposite Mae Sot, crossed the border to receive the free rice. “Some came with all their family members,”

How poor our people now. But this Junta genrals are getting richer and richer. . There are only two classes now in Burma, rich and poor,(power and power less)there is no middle class.

Unique Singapore Law

Police issued summoned to our twenty three colleagues who dressed in white, assembled at Orchard MRT and walked to City Hall MRT station on 25 August. Polices stated that they assembled more than five people with a same intent without a police permit. See detail here

I questioned myself why police do not summoned philippine groups who were always assembled there, their have same intent , get together and have fun. Our colleagues purpose is to walk to City hall. The only differences between Philippine and our colleagues is we have political motive in our mind(police know it from SMS), to support activist in Burma who had been protesting the military Junta for blitzkrieg high of fuel price. If we did the same action as 25 August, but the motive in our mind(police may know by SMS) is to support the Singapore government recent changes in CPF, do police will react the same way?

So this is Singapore.
