VP headache

GOOD news is that one hardliner VP retired from its post on the ground of medical. There are a lot of speculation with the replacement. People and media keep guessing and wondering who is his successor. World's media rate it good movement by reform minded government. At the same time, there have been several deputy ministers assigned as a replacement of existing. However, our pleasure on those positive, as usual, do not last long by the following news. There have been one proposed VP by military MPs as they have a right to choose replacement as required by sham constitution. By funny constitution, one VP of two must be selected by military MPs. The nomination VP is widely considered hardline former general who has taken several brutal mission against civilian during his role with junta. He has a good relationship with retired senior general who is deemed to have some power by shadowing the ruling party leaders.

Most people and media has shown their disagreement on the nomination of the hardliner former general. We all hope to see a moderate person rather than usual face from former junta. If our elected civilian government is going toward democratic way, they should try to rid of such people who are not competent and always step backward to defend their interests rather than think of people's benefit. It would be a major step back for our president if he allow unsuitable person as VP. He needs a wise VP if he wants to go further. He needs to avoid old guards if he wants to continue gain international community confidence. As he always said, new government is listening people voice as they are elected by people. If it make sense, he would try to listen people's desire this time again. We all are exciting to see the official announcement of new VP few days to come. If the improper replacement come, there would be a lot of disappointment in the air by people and of course media. The VP elect has reputation for his way of management and strain relationship with local media as well as monks. It is obvious he is not a better choice to step in VP role. He would be even rated worse replacement to a bad outgoing VP. 

May our leaders able to find a good successor without seeing organizational tie to generate best ever result for the sake of nation and people.
