UN, Gambari and Daw Su

Mr Gambari, special envoy from UN, tried to see Daw Su in his six visit to Burma. Daw Su appeared to be sending a signal that she was unhappy with the outcome of his efforts to date.

Gambari met with representatives of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, which is the major funder of the regime’s Swan Ah Shin militia. The envoy also met representatives of the Union Solidarity and Development Association, a junta-backed civic group that violently attacked Daw Su's motorcade .

I totally agree with Daw Su on not seeing Gambari. It is waste of time.

Singapore Law and Burmese activist

On August 2, the Singapore government declined to renew visas permits or extensions for Myo Tun , Hlaing Moe and Soe Thi Ha, Burmese activists, for participating in public protests illegally.

The Singapore Immigration and Checkpoint Authorities didn’t give any reason or explanation for rejecting the renewals or extensions of our visas and permits. Burmese,Permanent residents of Singapore, who participated in public protests in November last year are not sure their future.

I was thinking why they did not take action when they demonstrated in November. It is not a gentleman technique. If they break the law, Singapore should take action immediately according to Law. If the Singapore goverment do not want to take action on the activist as they pity on them, they should tell that this (not extending visa) is the softest action goverment has taken .

20 years after 8888

Twenty years has been passed, but we are still far away from democracy, Junta is still reign in our motherland. Many lives of old and young students, monks etc has been perished.

Why we still cannot change the system in Burma? What is our fault? Why Junta still can survive? We still could not find out the appropriate solution.

I would like to conclude that those democratic organization including NLD still not yet prove to the mass that their life will be more better than the present. Organization is weak. Could not move the whole mass to revolt the Junta. Could not persuade to come out from fear.It is easy to criticize for me. But I could not give answer.

My opinion is that political parties working for democracy could not mobilize the whole mass to revolt in Burma. The parties lack organizing and convincing that the sooner the Junta topple the better their life. The parties lack to organize the mass to be free from fear.It is easy for me to crticize the parties.

But criticism alone is not enough, it should also come with solution. I have no answer for my criticism. Who else can gave solution?

Singapore and politics

I have often seen in the news paper that the PAP goverment encourage people to be more involve in politics. I have seen the ministers having political dialogue session with NTU, NUS and polytechic students. They want Singaporean more involved in politics. They encourage talented people to join only PAP party, that is what i notice. May be I am wrong.

I wonder whether Singapore goverment have any sympathy to Burmese people. Do Singapoe govement want us liberate from Junta adminstration and flourish democracy in BURMA.? Do they really undrstand the true nature of Junta? I think that they understand the true nature of Junta, but they close eye as long as there no direct impact on them.

I am raising the above issues as Burmese activists in Singapore are having difficulty to extend their stay in singapore. One activist, work permit holder have been denied work permit extension. One activist, PR holder, has not got extension of multiple jouney visa . The activist can no longer go outside Singapore, but he still can stay in singapore. His status is like a person living in confinement.

I have to conclude that Singapore goverment do not want poltical mindedpeople. They want us people who follow what the goverment say.
