Protest culture

RECENTLY, our president made official visit to US white house. During his visit, he told one faulty word that our people are taking daily wages to participate in public protest. What does it lead to? International community may misunderstand with the landscape of our country. Upon his return, some people are walking out of Yangon's road to show their disappointment on our president's unwiseful words. It was relatively small scale protest and block by local police for illegal strike. It quickly disappear soon afterward.

Few days later, there was online rumor news that regional government is going to introduce family plan for Rohingya community who never stop delivery by right without thinking consequence. Coincidentally, in a parliament break media section, one journalist asked ASSK on the rumor. As usual, she quickly answered her vision on the matter and also said she even didn't hear about the news. She insisted that it is not complying human right law if the news is right. Since then, there have been a lot protest against her surfaced through online. The local authority followed their action by confirming the local law to restrict population of Rohingya. Today, people will hold the gathering to show their support on the law. It is obvious that there is somebody behind the case so that they could make political gain by defaming ASSK.

No matter how they attempt, educated people know who is wrong and who is right. Those people who blame ASSK on internet and public have connection with the ruling party. There may be some percentage of people who may not link to conservative official. They might be former criminals who is trained to create unrest across the country. They are apparent licenced protesters that police not dare to catch them. Like this, how do we attract foreign investment to create new jobs? How do we compete neighboring countries who already gone far ahead of us? How do we build our nation with the people who keep fighting each other? It's definitely going to be problem that would be hard to find solution.
