Ross Dunkley or Ross Donkey

CEO of The Myanmar Times, Ross Dunkley said that he supported the Junta’s road map and denied that anybody had been sacked because of the publishing the news on Satellite fees increment.The Myanmar Times is “semi-state media, founded in 2000 by Ross Dunkley and Sonny Swe, son of Brig-Gen Thein Swe who later following the downfall General Khin Nyunt in 2004.When you speak out Dunkley and Donkey quickly, the two pronunciations become similar. Thus Ross Dunlkley became Ross stupid. That why he supported the Junta’s road map. He told to Larry Jagan that he is a business man first and Journalist second

Thank You Swiss, disappointed on George Yeo

Burmese foreign minister was denied visa to attend World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It is a very good action. Thank you Switzerland.
At Davos, Sigapore foreign minister said that as ASEAN Chairman he protested for denial of visa for Burma foreign minister.
Why George Yeo still defending the Junta after MM Mr Lee Kuan Yue classified the Junta as stupid. ASEAN image will be tainted if ASEAN defend Burma.

Thank You Madame President and Senators, US, UK, French FM

Philippine Senate would not ratify (ASEAN) charter unless Daw Su was released, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said at a plenary session of the World Economic Forum here on Friday evening (past midnight Saturday in Manila).
Please keep up pressure on Burma, Madame President
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. , British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, issued a joint statement calling for progress towards a transition to democracy and improved human rights in Burma. Burma’s dictatorial military government has no respect for the people’s human rights, said the three foreign policy leaders.“We call on all those attending the World Economic Forum to demonstrate that, while the regime may be indifferent to the suffering of the Burmese people, the world is not,” said the statement. Thank you so much US, UK and French. But more actions and assistance needed, especially to French.
Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi acknowledged that the ASEAN's dealing with Myanmar was “a problem."
ASEAN need to give lesson to problematic child(Burma). Why did ASEAN so patient? Persuasion will not win in this case. This child need severe punishment as he is hard headed, not civilized, and bullying his own people.

Shame on Junta

I could not remember how many times I had chosen the the title " Shame on Junta". I would like to write an articles having the title " proud to be under Junta". So far no news on Burma have come out yet from independent news agency that can be titled as " proud to be under Junta". But you can read Junta's achievement or success story in their propaganda Burmese newspapers. The following news will never be published in newspaper or media inside Burma. It is very certain that Junta will reply only as full of lies.

Dr. Osamu Kunii, the nutrition expert in Myanmar for the U.N. Children's Fund, said there were 100,000 to 150,000 child deaths per year in the country – or between 274 and 411 daily. The report rated Myanmar as having the 40th highest child mortality rate in the world, surpassed in Asia only by Afghanistan, which has the third-worst record after Sierra Leone and Angola

Is this the Junta great achievement during their 20 years reign? Overall health care system of Burma is the world's second worst after war-ravaged Sierra Leone. That why Junta generals take treatment at Singapore hospitals even for a small sickness. Recently there was rumors circulating in Burma that General Than Swe’s wife Daw Kyaing Kyaing legs was broken at a fall. She is taking treatment in Burma because Singapore MM Mr Lee Kuan Yew has criticized her daughter wedding and she was annoyed on the criticism, that is the news circulating also in Burma.

Junta rejected Gambari Visit on January

I had requested to go there this month," Gambriel said. "They have sent word that it's not convenient and they will prefer mid-April. Now the (U.N.) Secretary-General has said that's not acceptable, and I agree, and so we are in the process of negotiating an early rather than a later return to Myanmar.
UN Security council president, Giadalla Ettalhi of Libya, in his statement mentioned that Council members ... regretted the slow rate of progress.
I would like to cope professor Khin Munag Kyi remarks "We all know this government [military junta] will never want to usher in any reforms, not even by negotiation or pressure because they do not want to lose their power.
The Junta has no intention to share or relinquish the power, it is a true fact, no one can denied. Moreover they have no intention to develop the country. So what should we do? Don’t depend too much on UN or international pressure. As long as no sanction from China, India and Thailand, the Junta will survive. We the people of Burma (inside and outside) have to struggle for our self. Is non violent means suitable at present situation? Need to rethink again. Combination of mass demonstration, sabotaging government offices, military post may threaten the military mind and may feel insecure and become low in morality. The human resource and financial resource is detrimental to achieve this goals. In stead of guerrilla warfare at remote area, infiltrate into towns and set up 2-3 people groups. When opportunity arise, sabotage government offices, army post without hurting people. It is time now to recruit strong willed fighters and collect money from those people who Burma.

Daw Su Film

Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore is planning to make his first English-language movie about Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Tornatore is developing the script for "The Lady" with Japanese producer Naofumi Okamoto, with production to begin later this year. Okamoto is producing the $30 million project alongside Avi Arad and Steven Paul and Benedict Carver of L.A.-based Crystal Sky Pictures. Crystal Sky is financing the pic. Okamoto is one of only a handful of foreigners to have met with Daw Su Kyisince her arrest 17 years ago by Burma's military junta. He overcame her initial reluctance and secured her permission to develop a movie based on her life. Okamoto said, "We want to use the politics as the background to a story about a woman who chose to be the mother to a nation rather than the mother of a family.Producer Avi Arad of L.A.-based Crystal Sky Pictures said that Suu Kyi was like a character from 'X-Men,' except she's a real hero, not an imaginary one -- she didn't need to do what she did, and she gave up a lot to do it."

Bomb blast and meeting

A blast at a Rangoon Central Railway Station injured a woman on Sunday. The explosion hit near the public bathrooms in the main train station, wounding a woman who was washing. The injured woman was 73-years-old, and she was slightly injured.

A woman was killed by a bomb on Friday at the Pyinmanar Railway Station

A man was killed and four people were injured Saturday in a blast in Phyu.

Daw Suu met for one hour Friday with Liason officer General Aung Kyi.

What a coincidence between meeting and bomb blast. As usual Junta accused KNU as culprit.

Shame on Junta

Minister Mentor Mr Lee paid visit to critically ill former Indonesian dictator yesterday. He said to Singapore reporters that he was very sad to see Suharto life coming to an end without the full glory that Suharto deserves.. He said Indonesian was lucky to have Suharto and drew comparisons with Burma to make his point. He said in the 1960s, Burma had the same coup with General Ne Win taking over. He did not have this team of economists(Suharto picked up a team of competent administrators). He did it his own way – the Burmese way to socialism – and if you compare Burma with Indonesia, you would know what a difference Suharto has made. If Suharto had been like Ne Win or like the present generals, Indonesia would be like Burma. Just compare to Indonesia and Burma, look, same time, 1962 Ne Win, 1965 Suharto, both well endowed and rich countries, Well you compare. Who is better off. Who deserves to be honoured.

Moreover he defended Suharto’s mismanagement.

What a few billion dollars lost in bad excesses? He built hindered of billion worth of assets. Yes he gave favours to his family and friends. But there was real growth, real progress.

What will Burmese Junta say on Mr Lee’s comparison with Indonesia and Burma. This is the third time that Mr Lee did remark on Junta after Saffron revolution. Any reply comment from Junta? Why comic Ali Kyaw San shut his mouth?. Does Burmese Ambassador in Singapore know that he needs to reply for the comment. Junta dare not reply the comment. If this remark was made by Daw Su or NLD or any Burmese, Junta mouth piece newspaper will featured many attacking articles. SPDC is moon in the bamboo hollow only.

Do not accept Religious Title from Junta: Denouce

The international Buddhist monk(Sasana moli) Chairman Penang Sayadaw U Pannya Vamsa said that monks should not accept the religious titles presented by Junta . The Junta present religious medal and Titles to monks on Independence day every year. Chairman Penang Sayadaw told to Irrawaddy magazine that the aim of presenting religious titles to monks is to show Buddhism is flourishing in Burma and to organize monks. He said “ everyone know whether Buddism is flourishing or not in Burma, how can they say flourishing after killing monks”, few monks who do no understand the situation would accept religious title that is just a piece of paper and those monks will make association with Junta.

Lastly, I wish that those who already accepted the religious titles may have denounce their titles.

SPDC : Irrational goverment

Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kuan Yew has criticised SPDC, saying decisions such as the building of a new capital from scratch were irrational. "I mean (building a) new capital from ground zero, what I ask myself, what rational government would do this," Lee, was quoted as saying by the Straits Times.

The military rulers were "people with very fixated minds - quite convinced that they will have the natural resources to weather any sanctions."

The members of ASEAN who could influence them will be Thailand, and beyond (that) China and India. The rest of us -- we are a kind of background muzak,"(at dinner hosted by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies on Monday 07-01-08)

No independence Day

Burma won independence from British colonial rule on January 4, 1948. But the country is now colonized by the military dictatorship since 1962. We are enslaved by the military junta The average citizen survives on less than $300 a year. According to UNDP sources, 32 percent of children are malnourished. And at least 2 million have migrated to neighboring countries to escape the humanitarian crisis in the homeland.

We got independence from the British earlier than India, Malaysia and Singapore, but development is many years behind than those countries. Why we lack behind the development? Are we lack in intelligence and no natural resources. Not because of this reason. Till 1962 we were most developed country in Asia. Yangon airport was best

in Asia. At that time we adopted parliament democracy and open market policy. Ne Win took military coup in 1962, abolished parliament democracy and established Burmese way to socialism (actually, it camouflage the military dictatorship), military personal took control on economic, planning and service sector sections. The problem was that those military personnel had no basic knowledge on the respective fields they took control. Since then economy dipped toward abyssal plane.

There was a sign of hope came up in 1988 when Ne Win regime was faced with peoples uprising. But, Ne Win crony generals took power and followed the Ne Win steps again. They were not only more lack in intelligence but also more cunning, more corrupted than Ne Win’s era generals. How can they manage to develop our country. There is Buddha teaching( according to Thi Da Gu Abbot) that those lack in wisdom and intelligent could not achieve good results even though how hard they work. The end results of Junta reign is Burma is among the poorest in the world

What might have happened if Bogyoke Aung San had lived to see to day. He would feel so sad on his struggle for independence . He may wish to stay under British rather than under military dictator.

Welcome 2008

The year 2007 had gone, but there is no significant changes in Burma except the emergence of Saffron revolution and the death of Prime Minister Soe Win and his twin brother. Personally for me, the year 2008 passed by insignificantly also. Not much changes in personal life also. I noticed myself that physically there is slight changes, appear more white hair. I became more involved in Burmese affairs than previous year, involved in all pro democracy activities. How can I be stay away from those activities where so many people inside Burma took risks on being torture and death to get their basic rights. One activist monk told me that he was surprised that I was actively involved in such activity because most people of my age are normally like to have peaceful and quiet life such as taking refuge in Buddha.

I thought myself why I was so actively involved in the activities that would give nothing except black listed by the current regime. In truth, the answer I got is very simple. I want to settle down my old age in prosperous and developed Burma where meritocracy is prevailed, no one is above the law, all are being equal regardless of race , religion, rich or poor. Till the military regime overthrown, I will contribute to the activities as along as I could. That is my new year resolution.
