Time to Unite

2008-11-16T11:01:05Z

It has been a long time since i�wrote a post on my blog as i was really busy with my studies. However, there were a lots of changes in Burma during these days like sentencing 65 years to 88 students leaders. Moreover, they put lawyers who do cases for NLD and opposition leaders into jails

Where is the justice ? Absolutely there is no such a thing in our country at the moment� as they do whatever they want. Unfortunately, exiled people are not united at this stage. We heard a lots of disagreement between NCGUB and MPU. Here, i would like to advise to those people that we look forward to get democracy so we should focus on what we can do to make changes in our country rather than chasing for position in an organization like NCGUB. History will decide everything. You do not need to worry about what others did but you should concentrate on what you can do for our country.

Sadly, some people (i don't mean all) i saw on exile are earning money for themselves from fund raising activities for our country. How bad it is ? I am sure that some of the people do their best.

�

What is the plan next for our country?

�

2010 election is coming soon ?

Will we do together or separately ?

There are thousands of political prisoners there in our country and millions of people are suffering and waiting the period of change.

What can we do ?

There is only one solution to these questions ?

" We have to unite and make a respectable organization in�exile�which links to all other countries and people in our country, Burma"

Therefore, It is the time to pay respect to each other and forgot about personal problems and looking forward about future of our country. And then we can make an important decision at least for our country.

TO KO AUNG KYAW (AYARWADI) : LOT THWAR THAUE NGAR GYI

2008-09-11T00:54:43Z

During these days i had not written on the blog as i was busy with all my studies and stuffs. But today i read about the article in Ayarwady and i can't stay quite anymore.This is just the reflection of my thinking.

I just read your article and you said some politicians r not experience enough to support u nu in 1988. Maybe because some leaders emerged because of demend of our people for the people and not because of their personal interest in politics. Maybe U nu did his best for our people but he need to sincere enough and should discuss with all his collegues.You can imagine if you are part of this take over goverment and you did not know you r in that goverment. how do u feel ? at least he should discuss with all the people in his cabinet memebers.

Secondly, you said MPs did not try to get recognition of 90 election result. Actually they did and they discussed in Amarapura township, Mandalay division. This became the basic structure for NCGUB. They tried to make a parallel goverment and planned how to make against the goverment. But Unfortunately after the Gandhi meeting, some MPs have been arrested because of this and some escaped to Thai boder.

Thirdly, you said discussion is not the right one! OK come on man, this is not 20th century and in Bogyoke era , japanese army was behind them not only 30 burmese heros. nowadays every country is catuious. Which army is behind us ? US no way , never dream because they will never do without their sake. this is reality. If you are dreaming of fighting the military with our own people, you have to know that the Burmese army is one of the top 10 military over the world. Do you know that? they are well organized and how can we do that ? we have to risk for the impossible matters. I am a young Burmese about 24 and every single youth throughout our country nearly the same. Be prepare for what can we do and do what you can do.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON IMPOSSIBLE THINGS AND NEVER DREAM OF THAT AGAIN UNLESS A GAINT ARMY IS BEHIND US.

This is just critical writing and do not intend to attack personally to anybody.

ABFSU STATEMENT NO.6

2008-08-18T13:54:13Z

All Burma Federation of Student Unions(ABFSU)
Announcement 6/2008;

Arrest of Student Activists

Date: 18 August 2008

(1) Burmese Military regime’s intelligence officials and the authorities had forcibly entered and searched some houses in Rangoon, where members of the All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) were staying, at night of August 7, 2008.

(2) After the searches, three members of ABFSU, Aung Kyaw (Rangoon Western University), Htain Lin (University of Education, Rangoon) and Chit Tun Lwin (Maubin University), two members of the 88 Generation Students, Mar Mar Oo and Myo Thant, and three visitors were arrested by the authorities.

(3) It has been 11 days from the date of arrest. Family members are not informed yet by the authorities, where they are being detained, what they are being faced, and whether they are alive or not. Therefore, all family members, friends and relatives of the arrestees are very much concerned.

(4) All Burma Federation of Student Unions (ABFSU) is greatly concerned about the missing students, who were brought by the authorities to an unknown location while they all are working for the benefit of the people, students and youths.

(5) Emergence of national reconciliation dialogue among all stake-holders is importantly required in Burma today to address all social, economic and political crises by peaceful means. We, ABFSU, strongly denounce the Burmese military regime for its continued human rights violations and arrest of democracy activists, instead of moving towards national reconciliation.

(6) We demand the Burmese military regime to stop its unlawful, unfair and illegal arrest of student activists, and to release the current arrestees, three members of the ABFSU, two members of the 88 Generation Students and three visitors immediately.
We also warn the military regime that it will be sole responsible for any physical and psychological impacts on these arrestees.

Doctors need to sit POLICY exam for posting

2008-08-10T11:35:56Z

Yesterday some of the news from Yangon said the goverment is now planning to have Policy exam for the new doctors who have recently finished their internship. This is just the same system what it was in MA-SA-LA era. Most of the questions are related to the questions relating whether they are against the military goverment or not.Normally, they called the posting for only one batch and they have to wait for at least a year to get a goverment job. This year strangely they called the posting two batches those who passed matriculation exam in 2000 and 2001. They will appoint 700 of them.

Usually they appoint all the doctors qualified from medical school but now they can not as there are so many doctors from 2001 bact. From starting from 2000 batch, the institute of medicine, magwae was opened therefore a bit more than usual number. A year later they called so many medical students round about 4000 for all four medical schools. So it was totally unfair for 2000 batch as it has only 1300+ doctors and they have to compete with nearly 3000+ doctors to get a goverment job.

Futhermore, for 1999 batch all the doctors applied for jobs got it and for 2000, they will not get the jobs. Quite unfair. Who is behind this process? Who knows? But one thing sure is they will appoint the sons and daughters of military persons and those who will give huge money to the authorities.Most of the doctors from 2000 and 2001 are not satisfied with this decision and they are depressed and angary with that decision. They have to apply for the jobs and test between 25 and 29 of August in Naw-Pyi-Daw.

GLOBAL BURMA DAY

2008-08-08T07:38:01Z

Today when i surfed on the internet i found two good documentary prepared by US campaing for Burma. They prepared for 8888 comemoration and i like these two short films much.That is why i shared two movies from youtube here. When i first saw these, i want to cry in frankly speaking because they mixed everything like 8888 and monks demonstration as well as the victums of cyclone Ngris. When i saw the 8888 films, i thought most of the people in 88 were quite active even some young students with uniform.Some sacrificed their lives for the rest of the country. We did not remember all the names of the dead people in the demonstrations but we pay respect to those people deeply as these are hidden heros of our country.

Sometimes, i doubt that why the bad people have good time in their lives contrary to our religious beliefs. What's wrong? I can not think properly about that. They killed the monks and thousands of civillians. They detained innocent people even some who winning seats in the parliament. Why these people remain alive? Our Burmese should unite each other at this stage rather than doing politics with separate group.We better consider about the whole country forgot the personal conflicts.It has been twenty years and how long will this rally take? If we are united, it would be soon .

8888 to 080808 (history still going on)

2008-08-01T11:36:09Z

In August 8th, it would be 20 years after mass demonstration in Burma had been destroyed by military.A lots of students and people died in 1988 and it was horrible experience to our burmese people.Although we still crave for Democracy though we do not know which is the best way. Personally, i accept every mode of action against military to get Democracy.On the other hand, a lots of people will die if we demonstrate our desire on the road which is the usual method used by army to quell the demonstration. At the same time, we should sacrifice our lives like some people who died, have been in prisons for their belief. How about you? Everybody afraid of being dead, most but with some exception.Not all the people, but personally i hope to get new students and people who dare to give their lives to our country.

I do not expect too much from our generation Y (youths) as they have so many ambitions in their lives.But at lest i hope they will never forget about 8888 demonstrations brutally cracked down by the military.I collected some viedos of 8888 on youtube and posted so that youths can see this sad event.

Bogyoke Aung San : Ideal of Burmese Youths

2008-06-10T07:01:31Z

I collected some videos and biography of Bogyoke Aung San. The first song is my favourite song and i hope this post will help our country to generate new genearation leaders to save our country from military junta as our country lacks youth leaders.

[youtube]ZXM-kHXFsMs[/youtube]

Bo Aung San ( song )

NAME OF AUNG SAN

Name at birth: Htain Lin

As student leader and a thakin: Aung San

Nom de guerre: Bo Tayza

Japanese Name: Omoda Monchi

Chinese Name: Tan Lu Sho

Resistance period code name: U Naung Cho

Contact code name with General Ne Win: Ko Sat Pe.

Burmese nationalist leader and assassinated hero who was instrumental in securing Burma's independence from Great Britain. Before World War II Aung San was actively anti-British; he then allied with the Japanese during World War II, but switched to the Allies before leading the Burmese drive for autonomy.

Born of a family distinguished in the resistance movement after the British annexation of 1886, Aung San became secretary of the students' union at Rangoon University and, with U Nu, led the students' strike there in February 1936. After Burma's separation from India in 1937 and his graduation in 1938, he worked for the nationalist Dobama Asi-ayone ("We-Burmans Association"), becoming its secretary-general in 1939.

While seeking foreign support for Burma's independence in 1940, Aung San was contacted in China by the Japanese. They then assisted him in raising a Burmese military force to aid them in their 1942 invasion of Burma. Known as the "Burma Independence Army," it grew with the advance of the Japanese and tended to take over the local administration of occupied areas. Serving as minister of defense in Ba Maw's puppet government (1943-45), Aung San became skeptical of Japanese promises of Burmese independence, even if an unlikely Japanese victory were to occur, and was displeased with their treatment of Burmese forces. Thus, in March 1945, Major General Aung San switched his Burma National Army to the Allied cause.

After the Japanese surrender in August 1945, the British sought to incorporate his forces into the regular army, but he held key members back, forming the People's Volunteer Organization. This was ostensibly a veterans' association interested in social service, but it was in fact a private political army designed to take the place of his Burma National Army and to be used as a major weapon in the struggle for independence.

Having helped form the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League (AFPFL), an underground movement of nationalists, in 1944, Aung San used that united front to become deputy chairman of Burma's Executive Council in late 1946. In effect he was prime minister but remained subject to the British governor's veto. After conferring with the British prime minister Clement Attlee in London, he announced an agreement (Jan. 27, 1947) that provided for Burma's independence within one year. In the election for a constitutional assembly in April 1947, his AFPFL won 196 of 202 seats. Though communists had denounced him as a "tool of British imperialism," he supported a resolution for Burmese independence outside the British Commonwealth.

On July 19, the prime minister and six colleagues, including his brother, were assassinated in the council chamber in Rangoon while the executive council was in session. His political rival, U Saw, interned in Uganda during the war, was later executed for his part in the killings.

Burma's non-political flood

2008-06-02T07:32:04Z

Burma's Non-Political Flood

Water, water, all around me

But I am so..so… thirsty.

Here, there, human bodies' everywhere

But none alive accompany me and share.

And I look at myself

Broken hopes and empty handed.

And I look further around

Just like a post heavy-battled ground.

Wild cyclone has wiped all things down.

Where are those kids from innocent playground?

Where are students in the green and white uniform?

Where is my town always singing along country rock songs?

Where are my mates who search for freedom and independent?

Where are those local chicks with new-leaf-color lips?

Where are those parents with a too busy habit?

All my questions disappear,

All my answers whisper…and whisperer.

Collaborated disaster of the nature and the dictator!

And I constantly hear voices from my empty stomach

Asking me food, forcing me speak out and stand up.

I silently speak with my loudest, to the entire world

Then mankind's sympathies come and knock my door.

Let me now open my door

'Cause those sympathies will help to fix my wounded floor.

Let me invite them with an open heart

'Cause those sympathies will help my life reconstruct.

Hello Mr. militarists,

Your guns are currently useless,

My demands are urgently needed,

Here, I'm alive, not a corpse yet,

Neither much time left.

Together, let's work out as a nice diplomat!

(Dedicated To My Mother And People Of Burma Who Lost Lives And

Who Are Hardly Survived Under Both Natural And Political Weathers!)

U Ohn Than suffer from cerebral malaria

2008-05-28T15:39:51Z

Maung Dee
Tuesday, 27 May 2008 00:00
New Delhi – Solo protester U Ohn Than has been suffering from cerebral malaria, even as he serves a life term in the remote Khamti prison, Opposition sources said. U Ohn Than had staged a series of solo protests in front of the UN offices and the US embassy as well as in crowded places demanding lower commodity prices, establishing a people's representative government and abolishing military dictatorship. "We heard the news from Khamti stating that U Ohn Than is in solitary confinement in a cell and is suffering from cerebral malaria. His family has been told to come to Khamti immediately as his health is rapidly deteriorating," lawyer U Aung Thein said. Than was sentenced to life imprisonment on April 2, by the Rangoon West District Court under section 124(a) of the Criminal Code, for provoking disaffection towards the government. A month later he was transferred to the Mandalay prison. After staging a hunger strike inside Mandalay prison, he was transferred again to the remote Khamti prison, earlier this month and has since been in solitary confinement. "He was transferred to Mandalay prison from Rangoon and then to Khamti prison. The authorities came in the way of prison visits by his family. His family has not been able to meet him yet," U Aung Thein added.

Warning to volunteer workers in delta region

Source -BBLS

Information leaked out from inside:

The junta has a plan to deceive international community again.They want to grab the donation (intended for victims) exploiting for their own purpose. To implement their agenda, they are going to stop local volunteers and workers from reaching victims in affected areas. (Another way to create difficulty for international aid teams from getting local coordination when they come in.)

Here's the assumption go: [As Junta promised Mr. Ban to let the foreign aid workers get in into Delta region, there is no choice for it but to give in to Mr. Ban's proposal in meantime.It has already made up a wicked decision before; finding away to stop international aids workers.Since Thai gov agreed to provide Dong Mong Airport for aids material center point, getting in into Myanmar from Thai become most convenient way. Myanmar Embassy in Thai will play the important role for issuing VISA or immigration related services to enter Myanmar. The doubtful fire broke-out in Myanmar Embassy is a great assistance in delaying international aid teams from entering Myanmar (before the true situation of victims are wiped out by some few junta trusted authority.)]

The inside information source supplied: "Junta want to see the absolute break-down of all the local relief aids activities from reaching the victims in next two weeks . They have a fear that information about the true situation will be spread out to international community through those people spearing out Junta's lie to Mr. Ban and that will fail their (secret) plan(which is not exactly mentioned). So, they will harm the local donors and volunteers in every possible way. Junta's so-called security unit (to carry out that mission) is organized with riot polices, swan-arr-shin, usda and some regional admin officers and is commanded by Aung Thaung (Minister for Industry. 1), Brg. Gen. Kyaw San(Minister of information) and MOHA (ministery of home affairs) under direct control of Junta and his men.

Attention: Inform all the private volunteers to be aware to avoid risk. Confirm and reach that information to international community(those who are willingly and willing to help Myanmar and victims) to save Myanmar people.

Article from: Agence France-Presse

Than Shwe said " YES " to all

2008-05-23T14:37:27Z

NAYPYIDAW, Myanmar (Reuters) - Myanmar's Senior General Than Shwe agreed on Friday to let in "all" aid workers to help the 2.4 million survivors of Cyclone Nargis, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said after meeting him.

"He has agreed to allow all aid workers," said Ban, who is on a mission to convince the reclusive military government to permit more foreign relief expertise three weeks after the cyclone struck, leaving nearly 134,000 dead or missing. Asked if this was a breakthrough, Ban said: "I think so."
