April Fool Delight

FOR the first ever time in my life, I am being promoted from current post to one step above. I am surprised to receive an official letter from HR this morning. I guess something good news is enclosed as she at the same time congratulates me. The letter informs me that in the recognition of my hard work, management is pleased to promote me while term and condition remain unchanged with my employment letter. It added my salary would be review in this year time.

As today is April Fool day, a lot of teasing messages flying over Facebook status and I received a good news like that is something special, especially when I am not expected it to come in. I do my work as usual and trying my best regardless of task. Though I have been working more than 6 years, I do not think of promotion because of the job we do. As a local SMEs piling contractor, there is less things to be done by QS compare to main contractor's QS. Everyday I am listening my wife's work difficulties and seeing her grow confident. Meanwhile, I am stuck at the easy job where I even do not need to practice all QS work, such as pricing which is done by boss. As such, I am responsible for quantities of both tender and ongoing project claims. Since contract manager was appointed recently, most of finalization process are taken over by him and that make our jobs even easier.

Sometime, taking easy job bring our life more difficult in the long term because we get less work experience which is priceless. Though an easy job provides us stress free, we become losing self-esteem. Everyday, most of time we are spending on internet rather than rushing over our jobs assigned. It is because our busy moment usually come once a month and it take us about a week only. Though we are enjoying easy work, time fly over and our age never stop to be older. The older we are, the harder we can find a good job unless we have a very good experience in management level. We cannot go and apply for junior job to the given age. That is why I am stuck at the current job and really appreciate company management's consideration for my promotion. I sincerely wish I could able to work and loyal to this company until I return home permanently. No matter if they adjust my salary or not because sometime we need to be recognized by our superiors. It is much more better for our soul than money because we cannot buy it. Thank you Resource Piling and I'll try to grow this company with my best endeavor.

Helpless people

WHEN people fall in trouble, who will take care them usually? It should be govt to take responsible to ease their people's plight. At contrary, it doesn't happen in my country sadly. There are a lot funny things keep happening in Myanmar. The govt pays attention on grassroots people to collect their income tax while it fails to collect from biggest companies owned by cronies. The military is not only sitting in parliament but also taking farms across the nation to do business. The law come drag when it has to face military's interest. That's why today Myanmar's news is dominant by land grab stories as well as people's strike for their own land/farms.

Always make me confuse why authority destroy striker's makeshit camps in the wee hours of the days. It is not happening in one or two scenarios. It seem their technique to avoid media attention to cover their wrong conduct. As a law makers, why they don't dare to face its people on the right platform, such as on court if they are right? It is disgrace to learn such things keep happening to our nation. We are seeing more and more landless people as well as farm-less farmers across the land. The latest army land-grab case is a good example to understand what's happening in our land. The whole village is forced to get out by authority by citing it is owned by army. The village exists long time ago by some evidences and suddenly their village is owned by army make them distraught. When they are refuging at nearby monastery, the regional authority asked them not to stay. I don't know why people in power bully people like that. Again helpless villagers are instructed to depart monastery compound by a short notice. Villagers are distraught as they have nowhere to go.

The ruling govt fails to interrupt as the case involve army. Later the ruling party offers villagers some lands to live in and they relocate new places in armed day. The villagers later found that the land plots are not given them officially and the place is hard to access drinkable water. Finally they all accept DKBA's offer to follow them and stay at their region. DKBA is actually an ethnic rival who is trying to sign on nationwide peaceful process with govt. What a shameless movement is it for current govt? Our people's welfare are done by rival, instead of ruling govt. Yes, this is Myanmar and everything can happen in this golden land shamefully.

Forgive only can bears fruits

FORGIVE to somebody means we let our mind free. It take a while to make our mind annoyed by others. And the obstacles stay in our mind as long as we cannot forgive to offenders. Sometime, people might have teased us and they're not aware of what we suffer such long by their libel effort. It is really happen to me. Recently, my new car was crashed by in law and I am disappointed. I though he should give me some form of apology for his wrong performance. Instead, he used some improper words to dilute me. I am not sure if he is feeling sorry by his conduct. But for sure, I cannot get rid of the incident from my mind and it hurt me for a few days, if it is not for month. I tried to forget, but remember more. Finally I know that only forgiveness can cure me and healing the wound in my mind. Later on, I could return normal life and free my mind.

Last month, I helped somebody get job in my company. I tried to avoid speaking him after finding his conduct is not a suitable to befriend. I felt frustrated and can't stop thinking him frequently which is abnormal though I am not talking him. After learning the art of forgiveness yesterday, I decided to forgive him as a young guy. Today, he offered me a dinner via sms and I asked him for what. He said for appreciation for helping him find a job. I accepted and understand that people are not as bad as we all think. They may sometime behave bad and other time good. We have to understand it and we have to practice forgiveness in our mind more frequently. As one saying said, you have thousand friends, it is too little. if you have one enemy, it is too much. It is truth that we are not happy to its fullest when we have an enemy around. The world will be better place to live in when it is made by friends.

Forgiveness

FORGIVENESS is a basis simple thing we all have to practice in our daily life. As "human is err", each of us could do mistake intentionally or accidentally in our life. Then, what needs us to forgive to our offenders? I was listening a dhamma while I am ironing yesterday. V Sayadaw is trying to explain how important forgiveness is in our life. He stresses that forgiveness doesn't mean he is taking superior hand or kneeing toward offender. We cannot forgive somebody without having internal power. It is so much powerful to forgive to people but not to forget. We got to take some lesson from the incidents we have been suffering for.

In fact, if there is something wrong, the problem exist on both side, regardless of magnitude. Some victims might be naive and purely sufferer by others' conduct. But mostly by two sides. Lets say somebody abuses us somewhat and it is not belong to us until we accept it. By Buddhist way, whatever we don't accept "U" turn to original givers. But patient to such abuse is easier said than done. We need to practice through our Buddha teaching. It take some time but possible to achieve a great mind who can easily forgive somebody. Unfortunately, most of offenders are our closet friends or relatives or even spouse. It reflect that the more we love, the more we suffer. The list is led by Parent and followed by siblings, relative, teacher, colleagues, peers and closed by ourselves. This show, our loved ones are more likely to be our offenders because we usually live together, work together and spend much time in our life. It is hard to get annoyed from strangers. 

How can we achieve the heart that can forgive people? Only through dhamma way and it need time to practice if we really want to have one. When our mind reach some level, we don't need to forgive unnecessarily. Because, nobody can make us angry or annoyed when our mind are peaceful. There would be no argument, not fighting, no debate, no jealous, then where for conflict between us. Most of conflict came due to some form of self-interest. When our mind free from wanting, it is quite clear that no need to forgive people because, he or she needs not angry by external factors.

Will Myanmar's spring continue?

It looks like the ruling govt don't like to see our country peacefully. Soon after introducing income tax law, increase for electricity bill tariff has been passed by parliament. More and more complains from ordinary people surfaced and media highlight the potential consequence due to newly release law. The govt staffs might have a reason to find themselves cool as their salaries will be increased by another 20,000Ks from next month. At the same time, corruption investigation commission was formed by president. The commission is frequently formed and useless for people. The core intention for doing that is just to drag the case until people forget about it. Our people have been enough experience on bad and no longer interest in president and he cabinet minsters. Most recent definition of corruption is quite funny, you know. The present worth more than 300,000Ks will be considered corrupted item by president. A lot of cartoons and articles relate to that immediately come out to show their displeasure. You know what is the basis salary for factory workers? It is about 50,000Ks and it say a lot to the definition of 300k matter.

Yesterday, there was riot in Rakhine capital, Sittway. The news say one female NGO staff down the religious flag and worn as skirt that prompt resident to become angry and the mob started to destroy UN agencies and NGO's houses and offices. The police tried to disperse the mob by shooting at sky. Unfortunately a little girl was shot dead and it is going to be another difficult case. The rule of law is long overdue issue and the govt is ignoring people's calling. The upcoming census drew some divide between our ethnics and govt. Whatever the govt do, there are controversy somewhere. I wonder what the advisers are doing with president. The law makers are failing to stop the adverse law that will beat our people. The military leaders keep saying our army continue to involve in Myanmar's politic for secure transition. Regardless of reason, country's democratizing will be affected as long as army not going their camp leaving the politic at the hand of people's leader.

Who is real victim?

I am appalling to read a Singaporean man's post in local website saying that how he is employing terrific maid from Myanmar and wanted to share his know-how life experience to his fellow citizens to avoid similar one. He introduced the maid as a young woman from rural area and even don't know how to open the car's doors. He also accused her of not understanding his command for work though her agent indicated her English skill score 3 out of 5. He replays how they were disappointing by her wrongful action as a result of either don't understanding English or over acting. He doubt himself that when he receive her smile after scolding her. The story ended by fatal fall death of the maid. According to him, the maid used a chair and jump out of his flat room while he is reading at the living room. 

The post is apparent doesn't success as he expected. I find no positive comment from his fellow citizen. As the way he writes, he is victim of the maid death, instead of showing his regret for not grilling the windows or compassionate to surviving family members. People uses harsh words to hit back and I am frustrated by his presentation for one's death. I am sure he is facing the sentence for maid death and trying to mitigate their punishment. There is no kinder words nor mercy for maid dad. The maid is also human being and she has a heart. The man failed to teach her properly and pointed his fingers to others easily. I am no wonder to see Singapore is recently ranked that world's emotionless city.

Water festival in the pipeline

I am really surprised to learn that Thailand's cultural ministry threats to sue to Singapore's organizer for Songkran festival in Singapore this year. Songkran means water throwing festival for people who live in Thailand and Myanmar. I am not sure which country had earlier one between them. We, Myanmar migrant people try every year to hold water festival here to please our home sicking minds while we're working abroad. But I never think of any issue, such as hijacking other country's culture. Perhaps it is because our own people are organizing in Singapore. For this year case, Thailand is fallen into political crisis in deep and Singapore is trying to hold said festival for first ever time. Thai officials see it hijacking their culture to attract tourists.

Soon after aforesaid news is surfaced in local news, I heard another news that Singaporean will boycott the water throwing festival as an attempt to prevent wasting water and save water amap due to this year prolong dry spell. I am not sure if the two news are related or not. But Myanmar community will continue to hold water festival in our own way. It include free foods and drinks to all participants. There will be some famous Myanmar Thingyan dancers to entertain incoming visitors. The special seasonal songs will make people happy in new year time. Our purpose of throwing water each other is to wash out all sin from preceding year. Anyhow, water festival is a happy moment occasion for any age person from all walks of life. No matter who you are and which religion you are practicing. All people are welcome to participate our new year festival. I could guarantee that you'll be happy and find it worth for your time for sure. Because the best thing in life are shared.

Teacher's delight

Today I met an ex-English teacher on FB and happy to make some conversation. She chats me whether I still recognize her or not. It wasn't long time I attend her tuition class during my college time. She is a freelance English teacher and not teaching at any govt school or colleges or varsities. Through the introduction of my classmate, I heard about her tuition and attended for a semester if I am not wrong. Other than a few month classes, I also studies some phonetic from her summer class. I remember that she is a good English teacher and made our difficulties on the subject easier. As I have good relationship with my college English teacher, my decision to attend her class wasn't come easy. I asked myself not to take any outside tuition to reinforce my study while I was studying in govt technological college. Partly right to say that I can't afford expensive tuition fees and save some hard earn money provided by my govt servant sisters.

I graduated from that college on 2004 and my life goes on as time gone. Unexpectedly I met her invitation in my FB wall today. As usual I check her profile if she is from military lobby or not before I can accept anybody's invitation. After satisfying with the facts, I accepted her and she questioned me if I still recognize her. I felt sound quite friendly and again I access her profile page and try to recall memory. As her occupation is English teacher and live in Kyaukse' township, the clues help me remember my ex-teacher and replied her question correctly. Afternoon, she rise again on FB and chat me to claim she immediately knows me on the first look of my photo at other's FB and straight away invite me. I am surprised by her claim as I know she is a successful teacher at her home town and she might have gone through a lot students in and out. She added that she would remember all outstanding students easily and I am a bit shy by her praise. We have some good conversation afterword and she skip me for beginning her on-going class. She may be my part time teacher for a few months and remember me after decade long is quite honorable to me. 

She is delighted to see me as a successful guy and wonder if I deserve her praise. I can understand the feeling of my fellow countrymen partly if it is not for whole. Our people back home easily think that those who can work abroad are lucky and earn a lot money and have a happy and successful life. They may not know the difficulties of our life outside homeland properly. I however have to admit that our life is still more comfortable then our peers back home. Thanks my dear teacher for remembering me and I wish you all the best success with all your excellent endeavor.

Helpless maid

I read one sentence in law lecture that "nothing is legal offence without remedy". Today, one Myanmar maid will be prosecuted for accused murder of her employer. Our embassy takes no responsibility for her legal defense. We're helpless to help her but praying hard. As the case is appear murder for sure, she is facing death penalty if she is convicted by judge. I think the Singapore govt will have to provide a lawyer for her if there is no appointed lawyer to represent her.

Human is err and every one of us can commit any offence when the tempo is high. It is difficult to control our mind when our suffers accumulate to unbearable level. For sure, killing a person by knife is not an easy task without having revenge in mind. We got to find out the story behind that motivate her. Otherwise, there won't be justice for accuse. As republic is famous in the rule of law, I wish she'll pull favorable verdict other than death. But I doubt as the victim is Singaporean and our embassy officials chose not to express their concern to save its citizen life just like their counterpart from Indonesia did. I am excited to read the verdict by today and hope my wish will come true for my countrywoman.

Say as it is

IT is quite funny post to compare Myanmar's economic development rate with most developed nations around the world. We are just starting and open to the world from zero. As a developing country like Myanmar, seeing single digit figure increase annually is not a fruitful success I think. Any nation who are in the process of transition will have 7% easily if the govt is doing slight of his obligation. It is understandable if the writer is a layman. But the writer is senior official from finance ministry and it look like he is writing the post to please its superiors and brain wash our people from rural area. Obviously, such post would be published on govt back media to spread the deliberate effort post.

Everybody in Myanmar knows that who are taking advantage from Myanmar's reform and it make 7% GDP growth further in the drain. The ex-military officials and their cronies are establishing so many companies and they got a lot permit easily and own so many business across all sectors. Meanwhile, the ordinary citizens became even more poorer. The govt continue to fail creating much needed jobs for our youth and working adults. The govt keep busying with their own propaganda and possibly with the preparation for next GE in 2015. In this scenario, a post saying Myanmar's GDP growth can compete with a handful of world's leading economies is hilarious. 

People are still jumping out of country for better life. The govt recently allowed maid agency to send our women to Hong Kong and Singapore. The news is closely followed by tragic accidents in Singapore and guess to hear the same in HK as well in near future because HK is famous for maid abusive. Then, they are shamelessly declare how much we are on the right tract going to the developed nation. Their declaration could be true with condition that they all step down in 2015 and pave the way for competent person like ASSK. Otherwise, our country's future would be dragged to further miserable stage.

We need govt mercy

ELECTRICITY tariff in Myanmar is going to up again if the parliament pass the proposal from executives. From govt ministry, there are a lot reason provided for doing so. From people side, there are so many reason for unhappiness with the news as well. This is not first attempt to increase the bill and it is second time to persuade MPs through parliament as the constitution guided to do so. In late last year, the ministry tried to increase the bill without announcing their intention to people in advance and met adverse response. There were some cities that see its people came out of their houses to road to protest the move. Then, the attempt was postponed to next financial year which will be starting on coming April 1 and the electricity ministry therefore tried again to succeed their plan.

The govt explained how does it go with heavy lose from electricity sector for people. The facts is that only 30% of our population are accessible to electricity which is not relevant for round clock. The electricity breakout is quite often during dry season like summer. Most of electricity came from hydro-power dam and thus Myanmar's production on electricity dramatically fall short in dry season. It is relatively strange to see a country like Myanmar too much rely on weather base production to the given oil&gas production and selling to the neighboring countries. Our people think that they deserve our natural resource first, after that the authority should sell to other nations. On the other hand, the electricity bill is related to consumer products production that is link to how electricity is reliable. If the bill is allowed to increase, the basic necessity rate will go up and the inflation will ride on it and then the ordinary people will suffer for that. I am not sure if the govt leaders have thought of consequence to mitigate the plight of people. 

The president keep saying he and his govt is trying to minimize the degree of poor across the country. Now 3 years pass and people see no improvement from this govt. Time say that the ruling party is nothing but keep giving promise people without fulfilling it. At contrary, they would even pass the law that are difficult to apply by people and make people's life more miserable. They would say how our country's public bill rate are lower in the region. But they would fail to compare the quality of service with their counterparts. Our people and businessmen would be more than happy to pay higher if they could guarantee us better and reliable electricity regardless of time and weather. The problem from past experience is that we people pay more to find the service remain the same later and suffer from the cost of living expense. Who care about our people then? Perhaps God will know and do it on behalf of our corrupted extra-ordinary ministers and seemingly brainless leaders.

Give correct message to our child

DURING our holiday, my wife told our daughter not to drink water before she drinks milk. The point is that she can drink more milk which has more nutrient facts than water. Our daughter is not big rice-eater and we are disappointed to learn that. She would eat other snacks frequently and that make her no time to hungry for rice and curry which is traditional one. It is not so easy to stop relatives and nanny couple giving her a snack whenever she ask for because we cannot live together. Thus, sometime we unhappily ignore some altitude we don't like if it is too much risk to her. I understand that the closest people will easily give her snack so that she would be long cry or to avoid unnecessary compromise between them.

Soon after we return to work, my sister one day buys her an ice-cream on the way back home from preschool. As my sister learns from a doctor, she urges little girl to drink water first before enjoying ice-creams after getting back home. The little girl complains that my mother taught me not to drink water before taking milk. My sister explains her that this time is not for milk, for ice-cream which is a solid. Before eating solid food, you have to drive water first so that your way to stomach would be smooth and easy. Hmm like that lah, okay I'll drink water first, she agrees with my sister. Mostly, we underestimate our children by telling non-sense things with the hope of they won't remember them for long time. In fact, their brains are fresh and always eager to learn things on planet. We should respect them and teach them in correct manner. There is a Myanmar saying that only good initial can meet a good end. If it is a cause, then there is no reason we cannot teach our children correctly nowadays. 

Horn lesson

OUR little girl now enjoy riding own car everyday routine to the preschool. My eldest sister serves her as a driver and keep answering her question on behalf of us. One day, my sister press horn to sound the careless walkers on the road. The little girl asked why do so? My sister answered that I am alarming people so that they notice a car is approaching behind. Then what they're doing? They'll walk aside the road for the car to drive over. What if you do not horn them? Our car may hit them and got accident. I see.

There is a sharp turn without visibility in advance nearby our home. My sister used to give a horn so that the fellow road users can hear and avoid speedy motor-bikers. As the little daughter sees her aunty give a horn without having any person in front. She asked why need horn without people in front. My sister explains it is because we cannot see in front and have to signal others coming from opposite direction. There are a lot motor-bikers who drive so fast without reducing their speed at sharp turn. We may hit them if they came in suddenly. To avoid that, I must horn first before we see clearly in front. The little girl is pleased by the answer. Luckily, my sister is a teacher and know how to answer her serial questions properly. As a parent, we want her get a proper answer for whatever she wants to know at her age of 3.5 years. It is paramount important to let our children know the things in correct way so that they don't need to confuse in later stage of their life.

Curious girl has always question

AS we drove home by our car this time, our little daughter asked several questions with relate to car. Because this is first ever time for her to ride in a sedan car and she wonder about everything around on the way back home. When the car sounds as a reminder of failing fixing seat-belt, she quickly asked me why is it sounding. It is because the passenger and driver are not fixing the seat-belt, I reply. I demonstrated and proof her that sound stop after fixing belt in place. She continue, why need to fix the belt, Daddy. It is for our safety my dear. The car may need to stop suddenly and we may be pushed forward by force and we could able to hit the thing ahead and got injury. At the worse scenario, the car hit another car or thing ahead and we could be victim of accident at any time. There are airbags in the car and they would inflate and save the passengers only when we are systematically seated with belt. Aww, I see, she is pleased by answer. What if I am not fixed by belt? We may have serious injury and can cause dead. Please remember to use seat belt whenever you ride the car, my dear. She said, yes I'll.

Usually, my wife and daughter ride in back seats and they would look at how I am driving in front. My wife used to busy answering her questions. What's for that button, Mummy? This button is like a switch for car doors. You must ensure it is closed position whenever you board on car. What if I am not doing so, she continue to ask. You may fall over the car to ground when the car turn suddenly with force. Oh it is too dangerous? Yes darling, it is serious and you don't need to worry when you lock the doors before the car move. She noted and silent in please. On the road from Yangon to Magway, we ride the whole day and she started to familiar with the buttons and parts on car. She is helpful to remind adults who are forgotten to do so. She would ask me to take belt when I drive. She would not hesitate to ask other passengers to take belts as well as lock the door button before the car is move forward. We are pleased by her conduct and we don't need to worry for her not following on board law when we are away from her. She is such a sharp little girl to absorb new things quickly and we are happy to see her as an eager children who wanna know almost everything around. Unfortunately, we are unable to live together for the moment and fail to teach her amap and it has been reason for my wife to return home as quickly as possible.

Unexpected question

DURING  our CNY holiday back home, my wife tried to persuade her daughter to be clever while we are staying for a short period and she looks listening to mum's request. As we need to find a car in Yangon, my eldest sister sent our daughter to Yangon so that we could find a suitable care without needy for rush. My sister return for work and left our daughter. Our daughter has no choice but to stay with parent until we return home. During together time, my wife used to say her daughter how many day left to stay together before we return work abroad. Within couple week time, there are a lot of things in schedule and we are so tired by traveling around the country.

The closer end to holiday, my wife tried to talk our daughter whatever she likes to teach her. As time ticking fast, my wife never satisfy to teach our daughter as much as possible. The little daughter is now 3.5 years old and able to speak mother language fluently. It make our bond even stronger and make us hard to leave her alone this time. Unfortunately, she doesn't love to stay with us because we issued so many do and don't to follow. She can play and can eat what she wants when she stay with her nanny old couple. She can even teach an old couple in something rather than learning from her. For instance, she knows how to use tablet better than an old couple. 

The day has come to leave hometown for Yangon and my wife said our daughter that Dad and Mum are going back today and you try not to be troublesome today and others when we return to work. The little girl silents and say understood. At the dark come on evening and we yet to leave home because the bus will leave only at 8:30pm. The little girl wonder why we are not going back though mother said we'll be going today. At one point, she asked her mum for not still going for bus. My wife suffer from unexpected question and replied her, yes we won't go back and will stay with you forever. The little girl yell at mum and say, no you have to go. What a sad occasion between a mum & a daughter is it? 

People thought we are lucky for able to work and save a lot of money abroad. Reality is that there are something that cannot be held we are paying back for money. Nobody aware that but parent. My wife became more determined person to return home as quickly as possible. My resistance on her push has been swayed by time and it is going to happen us sooner than later. Oh little girl, are you not loving us for leaving you alone there for long time? You are our hope and future that won't change forever. Your Dad and Mum are trying to come back sooner than later for our family life and I won't allow to apart any more in life.

Refrain from talkative

WHEN I was working in Malaysia, some fellow countrymen arrived to the company without needing them to pay for agent fees. Soon after I arrived the company, the boss one day asked me if I have any friend who want to work in Malaysia. I recommended some and help her meet them during her interview trip in Yangon. Later successful applicants came to company and worked together. As a senior, I needed to teach them both computerized estimation and computer lesson for some who are not familiar with computer. I am naturally happy to help others and please on thinking back for doing so. Later find myself sadden by their conduct which is aggressive manner on me. They always fail to say thanks for helping in their smooth coming to foreign work. I do not want them to say thanks but I expect them not to consult me by saying something  which is not right enough.

I thought it was because Malaysia comers are mostly middle-class education people and I may not find it again if I could go to Singapore. But I realize that since there are people concern, such incident keep happen especially among Burmese people who are not united in general. Most recently, I helped one FB friend to get a job for her friend. He consequently passed interview and start working at our office. He looks come from upper middle-class family unless it is for rich one. Anyhow junior is junior and it can't be changed by occasion. He speaks English at office. He gave the name as English name in office. He wears smart and even looks locals. It is good for Myanmar staff working in the office because Singaporean are brand loving people. He worked as draft while we are working as QS and there is almost no communication between our works. 

At minimum social contact, he started to speak foul play within a month time. One is bearable and second I couldn't. History repeat itself. First I help him and got inappropriate words back. Perhaps he thinks what S'pore has given to him is too easy because his hunting trip is done without difficulty. He might have thought it was his capacity and not any other's help that count. Again, sadden by a person whom I help to print out his CV and pass it to boss for interview. Is it fair to a person who help him. I got lesson not to speak too much to younger guys to avoid any further suffer. At the same time, I tighten myself to refrain from commenting on Facebook in order to avoid adverse feedback. At the end of the day, friends are kidding and nothing to do with angry or abusive words. Perhaps I yet to become a mature man.

Work Pass bring happiness

IT is no doubt that Singapore is tightening on its foreign labour market since little India riot. I am seeing my colleague's renewal on their pass rejected one after another. It is not pleasant experience to learn old guys with considerable experience also not getting exception. It looks like MOM is kicking out old guys with less salaries and welcome on freshers who has little knowledge with republic. Perhaps they may have different reason for doing so. For sure is all application from my company are seeing red and prompted HR dept to submit appeal letter to MOM.

Praying harder for colleagues who are pending with status for rejected while appealing. It is good to know that most of appeal cases ended with approved by experience. Anyhow, the applicants itself would be excited for the final outcome regardless of other's ones. Today, one of my colleague who is from same country had their appeal case approved and we all are happy for his successful extension despite there were some anxious time involved. It is never easy to see old colleague leave us and sharing his on-going jobs by remainders. The new replacement might not be as good as old one. On top of that, our fellow countrymen are usually not only work colleague but also lunch partners. As such, his good news make us happy too and wish all other fellow foreign workers who are trying to get pass or renewal get the result they want in quick manner.

MH370, how long can you able to hide?

MH370 case unveiled the capacity of Malaysian ministers to the world. From day 1 of missing plane, there have been funny statements issued, either officials or unofficial. This is responsibility of the nation because MAS is national flag carrier and the govt cannot avoid its role in finding the plane. Already in second  week, there is no info with whereabouts the plane and international seem inpatient with the conduct of Malaysia, especially China because 157 Chinese citizens are on board that went missing.

There are a lot countries taking part in the search and locate mission since the day plane vanished the radar. There are a lot discrepancy statements by Malaysia authority that make the families and relative of passengers and crew on board angry. After 1 week search failing, the PM declared that MH370 is likely to be hijacked by somebody who is skillful in flying plane. This make the SAL to criminal case conduct by police while the authority do not rule out for all theory, sabotage, hijack, crash, mechanical fault, etc. From the data release from engine manufacturer, Roll Royce, the plane was flying more than four hours from its last contact to radar on early wee hour of last Saturday. It recall hope of their life and make Malaysia authority calling off for South China Sea operation. And declare newly estimated 2 corridors and asked more countries to help them in wider operation. The plane still unfounded and keep mystery unlocked by sophisticated technology through world's most advanced nations. The world is following the news and it is going to be world top news for few days ahead.

Wish all on board passengers and crews able to live in the safe hands and return home as quickly as possible.

The face of Law

EVERYTHING is possible in Myanmar under the rule of law. Some wonder how many face does the rule of law have in Myanmar. Because it could be altered as they wants. It depend on the offenders who violate the law. If the offender is close to military, the case is downgraded and even disappeared in some cases. No matter how media shout for justice. They can put those outspoken journalist for defamation under libel. Myanmar has one saying that "money win over law" mean that you can solve out problem if you have enough money.

I could understand why corruption and bribery is widely happening in our land through my study on law. Most of punishment are put by range, saying maximum punishment and fines only. The judge has wide option to turn verdict at his own hand. It make offenders get some chance to bribe the judges to favor their wrongdoing. Myanmar has passed corruption law now and we heard no case of punishing by that law since. Creating law along and not focus on enforcement is the same as there is no law I believe. Parliament keep issuing several laws and amending outdated laws to apply on. The judicial system is heavily influenced by executives. Its mean there is no independence judicial that is reliable to public. 

Most recently the president amended the draft corruption law by advising to minimize the punishment year and consequently the parliament approved it. The law read that those present valued more than 300k is considered giving bribe. What does it mean? A person who pay govt official a present less than 300k is not entitled to be arrested under corruption law? It is a bit funny to me. At the same time, executives asked to reduce punishment from 3 years max to 1 year. It speak a lot that they, govt staffs, themselves is committing the offences and trying to dilute the intensity of the corruption so that they/their relatives can get minimum suffer when they commit it. 

Our lady ASSK keep saying how important the rule of law is for any nation and how does it missing on the land of Myanmar. We got to change the whole system and mindset of our govt staffs while paying them enough salaries. Otherwise, our country will drag on the league of LDC. What a shameful slogan boosting toward developed nation while govt executives itself is taking bribery or commission through big deals without being arrested to date. Their master, China is conducting nationwide operation on corrupted officials and successful. Our leaders should follow this trend with China while they're taking all advice from China for other cases to press our people.

One step closer

PASSING an exam is feel good factor. I never thought I would be leaning law one day. But it has become reality and I am glad to know I passed first ever semester exam for my ongoing law post-graduate program. Technology made our world easier. I never thought of studying at Yangon University one day and technology today make this barrier broken and everything is possible for those who are willing to learn, far or near. With my colleague, I applied the course after finding its advertisement in an exile media. We were allowed to admit the course and we two together passed our first semester without much difficulties.

Reading law never come easy, especially for working adult I think. Its content are not entertaining and make reader find it bore easily. Try to concentrate amap and change lifestyle a bit for commitment of chasing another honor. I strongly believe that understanding law will make me feel safe in my future conduct by knowing which is right and wrong black and white. Slightly dream to become a MP one day where an opportunity arisen for me. Why not if I am willing to? I will serve my country even more than any other professionals as a MP I think. But it is always easier said than done. What I can say now is one step closer to become a lawyer. Whatever I have started with, it must reach to the end. This time is not exception by the best endeavor. 

USWA, Myanmar's another big headache

CHINA always claims that Myanmar and China have long enjoying the brotherly relationship in the long history back. Though there are much written history proofing China's invasion to our nation, surprisingly our military leaders keep agreeing with their statement. Myanmar was not inferior to its far bigger country when it got independence on 1948. Most of Chinese migrants came to Myanmar for better future suggest my thinking is true and correct. Unfortunately, our military leaders dearly needs Chinese Vito power whenever it need to be protected from UN security council's action. For that, there might have agreed to pay back on whatever China wants from our land.

I am shocked to learn the local news saying that China has replaced local born rebel leaders with China born ones. It is too much for us to swallow if the news is true and correct. The authority has to answer. If China is a good friend as it always said to us, the question is why they are providing weapons to ethnic rivals? Nobody answer from both sides while there are a lot of evidence, at one point, even high tech weapon like helicopter and missiles to Wa Army which is the strongest rival on the land of Myanmar. The Wa army is formed of mostly ethnic Chinese and heavily rely on China. Their troops are being trained by China military intelligent. There were so many reports from freelance reporters outside Myanmar. We are extremely concern about USWA which is now asking the govt to promote them to a state level. What else going to be their demand? What a dare wish by a rival. Now they are refusing to sign on nationwide peace treaty and they seem patriot to China.

Unidentified source said China is asking Myanmar to allow them to use USWA troops for the security of their oil&gas trans-border pipeline. It is clearly broken our national sovereignty and our army seem distraught with China's increasing assertive. The current crisis on Ukraine remind us what could happen on our land sooner or later. Just like Russia gave the world reason for their intrusion, China could repeat of history by citing Russia. What UN can do when Russia clearly broke the international law? Almost nothing but warning through diplomatic channels because Russia is superpower. We have to take lesson from Russia-Ukraine-Crimea case. Our leaders have to be wise enough to avoid the trap made by our bully minded China. Otherwise our nation is going to be fall into huge danger of China. I guess to follow Philippine's way to approach US to counter-balance China's assertive. However my dream can be achieved only the people's government win the election in 2015. Otherwise quasi-govt won't listen to its people and will silent on abusive Chinese. Wish Myanmar able to have a competent leader with brain in upcoming GE2015. 

Rain brings happiness

FINALLY, much anticipated rain has come to lion city. It is reported that the last February was the driest month so far within 147 years back to history. The dry season was visibly prolonged and the rain never come to the shore since mid January. As a result, the roadside grass belt are becoming dry and the dry leaves fall over from their mother trees to add some more mess over the roads. I never see such messy roadside view before since I arrived to this city for past 7 years. I presumed that Singapore's town councils have good management and praised them for maintaining their beautiful road by green lined trees.

I understand from this dry season that the weather also can have its impact on clean & green city image. If a wealthy country like Singapore fails to maintain its famous greenery stage when the climate went against their favor, no wonder my country have a lot of messy and dirty roads across the country. I could imagine why at least because we have three significant season in a given calendar year, unlike Singapore. It say a lot between two countries.

Rain brought some happiness to a republic. As dry season prolonged, haze from neighboring Indonesia stray over the sky of island state. What can we do then? Just try to accept as a natural disaster. Seeing the government's afford to retain precious water amap through some campaign. I saw a lot advice from environmental and water ministry urging people to save water and not to waste unnecessarily. I could understand their worry since they even import lot of water from neighboring country. Some even suggests to PUB to increase bill as a part of precautionary measurement. Anyway, yesterday rain has brought some relief to city state and its people. Everybody happy including trees and grasses I believe. I hope Singapore's roads will restore its previous stage which is green and beautiful. Thanks Rain for coming our land. Hope you'ld stay here as long as you can from this point onward.

Junk thought

I am not a politician or expert on Myanmar's political landscape. But as a citizen, I am worried by what's happening on my mother land. I used to follow local news through relevant domestic media by internet. I don't think no other nation produce news more than Myanmar today. We have extra-ordinarily lot of journals in different names as a part of media reform by new government. Some are pro-government media while other really reflect people's concern. Some exile medias play some part outside country and we got to wise enough to explore them all to conclude something close to reality. There are lots of ideas and remarks on Facebook pages and it is really confusing for any reader if he/she is not applying his logic skill. The next GE comes closer and the more complicated news are created by lobbies online. Let it be.

The military back government always talked big about the subject entitled national sovereignty and proud of saving nation from breaking pieces through civil world since independence in 1948. We have one of longest civil war on planet. No war is good to people and nation. It drag our nation's development and last over 6 decades has made our nation LDC. The military leaders are stubborn enough to protect their own beneficial rather than doing country's good. They would try to brainwash our people through government controlled media. People are too poor to interest in politic and they are happy to learn such condition across the country. I am disappointed to see there are somebody happy to defend the interest of their military leaders though their life have gone bottom rock. Try to understand them as an unsound people or brainwashing people. Anyhow our country must be escape from the handful of those ex-military men. Otherwise our nation's plight is going to extend to unlimited time and generation to generation will suffer. In 2015, our people will have a chance to overhaul our government through GE and wish our people may have a free and fair GE that let them vote whatever party they like. Hopefully I'll be already back home when the time come right for GE for my vote.

Misery City ?

WHEN we think of Singapore, most of us especially from 3rd world countries think of its advantages such as wealthy, hi-tech, top ten nation of highest GDP per capital, world-class infrastructure, security, rule of the law, etc. Yesterday I found an article shared by Singapore PM on his Facebook wall to remind his colleagues and people to become more considerate and gracious when it come to public transport. He needs not agree on the content of the writer but he remarks as a good reminder.

The writer shared her experience on public train when she was morning sick due to visible pregnant. She was unhappy to learn that nobody on-board train offered her a seat. And later found out from her Singaporean colleagues that they don't wonder with the experience because they also have been similar degree of advert experience on public transport. They all agree that Singaporean have becoming money chasing society and no value at basis human right through their daily life.

My wife had the same bitter experience when she was pregnant. She was traveling on NE line to work when she felt sick and eventually collapse on to the floor of the train in the morning. Nobody offered any assistance to a little woman with pregnant. Fortunately, one FWs help her gets out of train in one station after few stations she was unconsciously riding. The kinder guy also gave me a call to fetch my wife and I rush to the place he told me. We later found out that there was a blood clout in the womb from ultra sound result at nearby hospital by OG. What can we do then? It is our faith and we blamed nobody and we consumed all shit coming to our life. We risk by choosing not to take operation for said suspicious blood clout. As a result, we live in fearsome of having flawed baby until our little girl successfully delivered at home town.

I cannot say Singapore is not a place to live in happily as I have been living here for 7 years in a row now. It is a place like my second home and we are used to with daily pressure we encounter here through our life both at work and home. We can happily take all the difficulties for the other good things that we cannot find back home. No wonder, my fellow citizens are keep coming the city state for greener pasture. But I just want to remind them that Singapore has its own unwanted titles such as "the most emotionless country in the world", " least positive country on earth", "world most expensive city on the world", etc. I would like to urge my countrymen who are trying to abandon Myanmar IC for republic one to think twice if their choice is a wise move or not. But I have to understand that everybody has their own ambition through their educational and social background and their life changing decision is clearly out of my control.

Hope all Singaporean able to improve their daily conduct and turn their city not only green city but also a happy place to live in.

Helpless Maids from Burma

FEW days after Myanmar maid is accused for murder of her employer, another news with relate to Myanmar maid is surfaced. This time Myanmar maid is not subject, she is the victim of something unknown to now. She is found at the foot of the flat she is working for and paramedic declares the motionless body is dead on the spot. Myanmar is not a nation of maid at least for legally. However recently our government changed their mind to make this business become illegal to legal ones by citing the reason for protection of their plight abroad. I am not sure their aim is fulfilled or not. Most of Myanmar people are not welcome that news and Government as usual proceed with their proceed without listening people's concern.

I understand that maids from Philippine and Indonesia are changing their direction toward better paid nations such as Hong Kong and Taiwan from their current job at lion city. This trend make republic crisis in fulfilling demand from their households. As such, they tried to search another resource within region and find Myanmar and Cambodia as a good replacement for their maid voids. Likewise, Hong Kong has become famous for maid abusive incidents and Indonesia and Philippine authorities recently stopped their export to that particular nation. As a result, HK just like S'pore tried to find new place to rely on and successfully persuaded our government to make maid agency legal.

Get back to the story, first one in which Myanmar maid killed 85 years old employer story. It is not easy to kill a person without having some harsh story behind. Besides, our women are not such people who are inconsiderate through our culture. We have to find out the reason behind which drove her become a killer. I don't heard any news saying Myanmar embassy is offering assistance to accuse for defence and I am saddened by this fact. While Indonesian and Philippine maids are in trouble, their embassies are always motivate to protect their citizen's right. In this case, our embassy silent mean irresponsible and shameful act for our nationals stay away from home. Second case is different story in which our maid is being killed, regardless of suicide or murder. Our embassy must trace the case so that the justice is bring to victim. I don't think our embassy official will offer the assistance the victim's family might need. Anyway, as a fellow citizen, I am grief to learn such news frequently and pray her rest in peace, at least in her next life.
