Myanmar under N Koreas colony Or Independent Myanmar ?


I never use Myanmar for my beloved country after the Junta change the name to Myanmar from Burma. But there is no longer Independent Burma. Under British, we are not allowed to criticize His majesty King or queen.  Now under Junta, a book about N Korea reader was seized as some of its content makes displeasure to N Korea. So Mynamar is N Korea colony now.

Asean: the rubber stamp for Burmese election.

Myanmar "definitely wants us to rubber stamp the election results," a senior Indonesian diplomat said on condition of anonymity. "And while we will use every opportunity to push the Myanmar authorities to greater democracy, in the end we will probably end up being a big rubber stamp."

Than Shwe in India.

The Junta chief chief Than Shwe is visitng India and he is going to meet PM Singh. He got red carpet treatment from India. India's state-run oil firms ONGC Videsh, the overseas arm of Oil and Natural Gas Corp, and and GAIL have a 30 percent stake in two gas-producing blocks in Myanmar as part of a consortium which is supplying the hydrocarbon gas that goes to China. Officials said the two companies -- which will continue to pursue hydrocarbon interests in Myanmar -- are also part of the pipeline project which will link the two blocks to China. The total investment by the state companies is around $1 billion
Once a staunch supporter of Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, India began engaging the junta in the mid-1990s as security, energy and strategic priorities began to override concerns over democracy and human rights.Sad story.

Uniquely Singapore.

1. “Photographer arrested because of taking photos”.
57-year-old photojournalist, Shafie Goh, was detained by police for one hour. His detention at about 7am on Saturday took place after a policeman saw the veteran photographer taking pictures of snarling traffic and stranded vehicles along Upper Bukit Timah Road, one of the areas badly hit by Saturday morning’s floods. After being spotted by an unidentified on-duty policeman who was mobilised to deal with the traffic situation, Mr Goh was asked to leave the scene.. However, he pleaded with the policeman to be allowed to take one more photograph. Before he could finish talking, the policeman took out his handcuffs and placed them on his right hand. He was also told he would be brought down to a police station.The policeman then brought him to the roadside and told him to wait for an investigator.He was only released after an hour.
A police statement released on Sunday said that officers had repeatedly asked Mr Goh to move to a safe place as he was taking photos in a dangerous position.

2. British freelance journalist and author of "Once A Jolly Hangman:” arrested.
July 18 - Singapore police have arrested a British author on charges of criminal defamation and contempt of court, a day after he launched a book on death penalty in the city-state
Shadrake, who was arrested at a hotel on Sunday, remained in police custody as the investigation was ongoing, a police spokesman said.
In an email to Reuters on July 3, Shadrake called himself a "British freelance journalist and author," who had planned to launch his latest book "Once A Jolly Hangman: Singapore Justice in the Dock" in the city-state on Saturday.
The Straits Times newspaper reported that Shadrake was 75 and his 219-page book was filled with accounts of high-profile cases in Singapore involving the use of the death penalty. It also included interviews with the city-state's former executioner.

3. Flash floods
Singapore got 3d flash flood on Saturday. Flash floods were a rare occurrence in Singapore until recently, with a climate expert interviewed by the Straits Times attributing the problem to regional weather phenomena such as Typhoon Conson and Indonesian squalls.
Critics had blasted the Public Utilities Board (PUB) for not being prepared to handle the first two floods, while the department defending itself by saying abnormal weather conditions and clogged drains were to blame. A government minister is asking the Public Utilities Boad to explain itself to residents affected by the early morning floods.
One Singaporean suggested : “We want our Transport Minister to take MRT train, public bus in the rush hour so that he knows how ordinary Singaporeans feel. Our Health Minister went thru the operation recently, he might understand how it looks like under his charge our health system performance. Now, how about the chief PUB, the Minister in charge where were you when some Singaporeans houses/shops undergoing this flooding. Where was our PM on these flooding occasions?Show some leadership, please. (JT on July 19, 2010 at 9:07 am http://sg.yfittopostblog.com/2010/07/19/govt-minister-asks-pub-to-explain-flood/)

63 Matryr Day



 Today is Martyrs Day: The Junta is not given much attention to the Martyrs Day. Low level government official attend the ceremony now. Trying to neglect the fallen leaders. Young generation do not know who are Burmese Martyrs.

-------------------------------------------------------

Today is
The day which we, Burmese, shall remember and value always.
The day which breaks our hearts away.
The day which on the ground, every single Burmese’s tears lay.
The day which our hopes lost the right way. ...
...The day which we wish to never happen anyway.
The day which took the life of our Martyrs who gave the independence of today.
So Today Is Our Hero’s Day..
Today Is The Burmese 63rd Martyr’s Day..

China is not interested in the Myanmar People democratic

Speaking at the closing session of the inaugural Future China Global Forum on 13 July, Singapore Foreign Minister  said "  China is not interested in  the Myanmar People democratic or in making Muslims Confucianist. China is quite prepared to accept the world in all its diversity as long as you don't threaten them.

Yes, he is right. The Chinese is only interest for their economic success regardless of other people suffering. I would say they are selfish.
