A good decision can make different in life


I AM happy to see our old ministry head quarters from Yangon transform to public hospitals. I was also disappointing when they all are being left when its staffs are moving to the newest capital city. It became worse when the government put them on the list of auction in the attempt of privatization of public own properties. The bid price of successful tenderer was shocking to me as it all come by billion figures which we never experienced such huge amount in life time. I don't know where does those money come from. I can't imagine how do those people suddenly became super rich people. Probably only fraction part of those bidders would be traditionally rich people. The rest are most likely to be immediate millionaire by taking advantage of our loose government system.

I have been working in oversea for seven years and haven't owned even a flat in the Myanmar's biggest city. I might be considered a middle class of my country as most of people are poor. It's impossible to own a person who is working in domestic unless he/she is shun from dirty jobs. We all know that most of prime land areas in Myanmar's second largest city are owned by Chinese. Likewise, the downtown area of Myanmar's biggest city is dominated by Indian. Then where do our people goes? They all find it unable to resist the over market rate offer from foreign back business men to sell their residential land. And move to cheaper outskirt area of the town. By this way the original people are apparently become second class citizen by residing slum areas in several big towns.

When I learn how other governments protect the benefit of their own people with regard to the property which is considered the fundamental right for a person. The smart government would ever think of its people to ensure there is a ceiling above them. I'm now trying to buy a flat in my home land and I feel tiny myself to search a good flat with my small budget. My wife and I have saved most of our earns for few years. But we still find it unaffordable and there must have been wrong with our property market. People are extremely poor while some are unlimited earning from various sources. Shall we call it success when only few people are right? Absolutely not. It's strange trend but accept.

What can we do being a civilian person without power? Nothing but seeing things goes wrong and upsetting ourselves. Where to go complain for our plight? Nowhere to be relied. Fortunately, we are living in central area and can avoid conflict between government soldiers and ethnic rebels. Most of refugee come out of Burma are those who are living in the less developed areas and border line areas. Since Myanmar is quite big, the government would find it difficult to fulfill the will of every single person. However, there is a will there must be a way to relief people's life difficulties.

We have to welcome government's move in trying to convert the old buildings of ministries to public hospital because public healthcare is badly needed in our country. Our people find it very expensive to go private clinic and hospitals. The authority should enforce the rule and regulation with regard to our public hospitals. Because most of medical staffs are doing their own business during office hours. They would join with business men and collaborate the establish of their private clinic or hospital. As a result, most patient who go to public hospital find empty service building rather than reliable hospital. Our hospitals are well known for its lack of medicine and Doctors. It's embarrassing our patients need to buy medicine outside hospital to get proper treatment. Hopefully the new government leaders would address these long existing problems in favour of public's health.

Thanks for transforming our beautiful colonial buildings to public hospital. I'ld like to credit to those who initiate this kind idea by this post. May our leaders able to think of such meaningful job and conquer the hearts of our people.
