Burmese Buddist Temple & Activist


David Lim, chairman of Burmese Buddhist temple, said to Straits Times that anyone can come here for prayers, but we dont want it used for political activities. Having a mass of activist shouting slogans did not augur well for the temple image. The temple should be a place of peace,' Lim said, not a domain for 'activists shouting slogans.'
OK Mr Lim, How about those temples in Burma. Peaceful?. Do you think that Mr Yeo, Ms Yade and Ms Munn came to temple to see monk and your committee to discuss the situation in Myanmar. Are you and your committee are scholar or expert in Burma Politics so that Singapore minister , French and UK deputy minister came to BBT to get advise ? Do you think that they visited BBT as a tourist?

If there is no activity at BBT during Saffron revolution do you think that they will come and see your monk and your committee?You may need to see a doctor to get clear view.

What is politics Mr Lim?. Is Praying for fallen heroes at BBT politics? Is Sharing merit at BBT politics. Is Blood donation at BBT politics. These are the things activist did at BBT.
Monk, monastery and democracy activist are closely bind in Burmese history. Please be understand the Burmese politics and its history, otherwise, you are not qualified as BBT chairman.
