Don't cut our life-blood, pleaseee


I AM very much disappointed to see dying photo of our main river Irrawaddy from a local media website page. It's absolutely dead wrong by human mistake, I believe. This 2,170 km long river has been providing foods and water to half population of our country since it was born. We get comfortable life by taking advantage of its strategically very good location that flow from the northern most of country all the way down to delta region and finally end up at the sea. She gives us enough cultivation land on each side of its bank to produce variety of foods. She gives us clean water to use in our daily life. Even she perform as a national water express way to carry different goods from one place to another. Irrawaddy never changed her attitude despite the government changes by time, even during colonial time by British. What a grateful river is she?

But she is now facing severe problem with the people she helped to raise up their live. Her main source of water is effectively cut by the Junta government in favor of hydro-power electricity project developed by bloody Chinese company. This river is initially formed by two small rivers called May Kha and May Likha at her upstream. This two small rivers eventually converge at one place and form a big river and flow through the country as an Irrawaddy River that is famous in not only region but also all over the world. Brazil has Amazon, Egypt has Nile, India has Ganga, China has Yellow River, ASEAN has Mekong, all of them are in safe hand while our Irrawaddy is terribly put in the hand of stupid leader.

In fact, they are earning bloody billion dollars by selling natural resources such as newly discover oil, natural gas, gem, teak, etc. But to them, those billion dollars seem still unable to meet their greedy minds. So what did they do to make themselves richer? Trying to block all the river to build hydropower plants jointly developed by neighbour country and plan to sell all outcoming electricity rather than distributing them on its people. I just want to ask them how much do they able to spend before they die. It's more than enough for them with their existing bank saving account already in the world's banks through alien names. By sense, even a KG student can know it. It's as simple as that.

Let me tell you one real story that is happening in Singapore here. Lee Kuan Yew couldn't sleep enough until Singapore found a NEWater to replace their totally reliance on Malaysia's raw water to give its people enough water. What's newater? It's one type of water can be used in our daily life. It's made by recycling domestic water return from our kitchens after using. Of course it need advanced technology to recycle it and create Newater before redistribute it to municipal pipe line. It's not still enough for the island state people. He heavily invested in water technology R&D and now Singapore is making dollar by selling their expertise to other countries. Today newspaper states that Singapore is going to start its second and largest desalination plant in Tuas. What's that? It's making sea water to drinkable water. Of course it's expensive to do so and they tried to make it cheaper through R&D. Now their first desalination plant able to sign agreement with PUB to sell 4 cents per 1 cubic meter water. What a great achievement is it?

Today Singapore's population is drinking 1.7 millions cubic meter water and the government is thinking the demand of 2060 now. The demanding will double to 3.4 million cubic meter. Now they can be confident of themselves by making fully reliance on water resource. Where do they get it? They will get it from their reservoirs, desalination plant and of course Newater. Why I'm telling you this story is I just want you to know how other people are solving their water problem. You never know unless you are exposure such problem in life. Please value our natural resources and do not kill them if you have alternative option. Please be long-sighted people as a leader. Please do consider the ease of our younger generation as the life won't be end when you die. We are enjoying the natural resources today because our predecessor maintained them properly. Please appreciate our descendant's effort.
Justify Full
I don't expect you to generate the quality of Singapore's gifted leaders. But I do expect you to think twice before you make agreements especially with neighbouring countries. They may show some loving kindness on you for their interests. But it really doesn't mean they love our country and people. It's very much obvious they come invest to our country for their nation's interest. We may benefit a fraction of what they have earned. But it's so much cost to us as we lose our irreplaceable resources. Who suffer finally? Our people, now our river, then what? It's countless victims as long as you don't know what you are doing. I don't want to teach you so much as I am just an ordinary person and you are deemed a smart man since you are the leader of us. Unless it's not matter to you, better pave a way for another able person. The whole world and our lord of Buddha will bless you all the way. There's always got time to be corrected, men.

Please do not kill our natural resources as it's the biggest and most serious ever murder case in our history. I believe no man would like to be a devil to its mother land. Hopefully you are a real man who dare to take responsibility for what you have done in past. We, people, do need a real leader and would love to see constructive change in favour of people. Time has come.
