Who is responsible?

MYANMAR is best known for its natural resources. It is true that Myanmar is rich in natural resources. Top exporter country in oil, gas, precious stones, timber, etc. But  country is still in the status of least developed nation and its people are extremely poor. Everybody know that mismanagement for few decades has led us upside down from once most potential nation within a region to region's bottom most one. The military leaders systematically destroyed our education to kill people's thinking and rule by oppression. As a result, our country lack capacity on human resource and it make a handful of people become extra-ordinary rich and most of people driven to extreme poor. As middle class disappear, the iron fist ruler find its job easier to control people. They are talented on such bloody bad thing. But never hesitate to keep saying how much they are loyalty to the nation. Shamefully declared through public media that no civilian is better than army men in the ground of loyalty.

In the wake of government changes and wave of reforms, western sanction has been lifted and a lot of assistance flow in through NGO from donor countries. Country looks so pity toward outsiders and we are sorrowfully judged as a nation of war time. We are seeing that some country waived their loan on country and offer fresh loans to build badly need sector like infrastructure. The government is apparently proud to make some progress which is not visibly affect on ordinary citizen. The needy of poor become consistent and the government failing to address them. NGOs are performing to ease our people's plight. I read Clinton foundation's country access to help people get clean water. It is not something to proud of for the government despite we should welcome such manner. As an independent nation, we should take responsible for our people and take minimum assistance from others. But in reality, the government keep asking helps to outsides world. On the same time, they're not doing their part to help ease our people's plight. Instead, they put some harsh law in order to press people. Recent irregular appreciation of local currency is a good example to justify the policy maker's ability. It effectively hit bottom most people rock and make rich cronies and their relatives more richer. As long as the power is not given to a real capable person who love country most, such problem will continue happen to our country. I am sorry to seeing that but nothing I could do.
