People's Victory


WHAT a good news is it? Today President has pledged its people that present government will hold the Irrawaddy Hydro-electric power dam project during their term. He cited the power is given by people and they'll not make things that make our people feel sad. I believe, our people will welcome this good news and credit to our president as he deserve. We have heard people's serious concern with regard to this project most recently. All the corner of people participate in this campaign, author, musician, politician, ordinary people.

EMG's recent news suggests that 20% of this project is deemed finish according to the photos taken. People were ignored by not disclosing the professional report by Chinese and Myanmar geologists. Fortunately, the danger of Irrawaddy was suddenly surfaced by some particular reasons. Most noticeably, the recent speech by Minister of Energy effectively sparked people's angers. It probably prompted people both professions and lay men to organize events attempting to highlight how important this river is for us. All come united on the attitude of stopping this project. Another fortunate thing is government's change policy in censorship of media. Our media these days are relatively transparent than past time. They are able to publish most itchy articles which couldn't be imagine in past time. Anyway, those all changing contributed the mission of saving our main river, Irrawaddy.

I am sure the civilian government will get people's trust by making this decision. Alternatively it look like rewarding those who try all the ways in campaigns despite it is highly risky. I also hope it'll help our government's reconciliation effort among our races especially in the northern ethnic region people, Kachin. I would like to request my fellow citizens and domestic media not to hesitate in praising the government for their positive movement. It's not fair to the president and its cabinet ministers if we are only active in criticizing their negative movements. Anyway, our government eventually listen our people voice and take action accordingly. I believe, this is one of so many such positive things to come in near future. It's time to celebrate the people's victory. Lets cheer around.

Thanks Mr. President for saving Irrawaddy which is above anything else in Burma.
