Get people's plight addressed

MY country is in the list of top ten natural gas exporting countries in the world. Not only natural gas, but off and on-shore oil also can be found within our territory. The given geographic favor us to generate hydro-power electricity throughout the country. Static show about more than 80% of FDI are invested in our natural resources. Then why do our people not getting daily necessity like electricity? Even biggest commercial city like Yangon's resident are getting electricity about 4 hours a day. The authority is citing the summer season that make our reservoir dry out and stop hydro-power stations. No like previous seasons, our world has become warmer after warmer. This year summer reach record as high as 49'C and people are suffering the heat. Cutting electricity make our people's burden bad to worse. No electricity mean unable to pump water to their respective water tank for daily usage.

It's possible to survive without electricity. But there are several consequence for blackout. No fan, no water, no aircon, even more risky to be fired by using candle light at night. In this circumstance, the authority seem taking those trouble into normal  by standing aside rather than addressing people's crisis. They might have forgotten that our nation has been transformed to democratic nation from dictatorship now. They are apparent to apply old policies regardless of reform-minded president's statement. Our people and media has changed their mind-set on expressing their desire openly that is aligned with new drafted law which allow peaceful demonstration. International media have put watchful eyes on our people's behavior, commenting that our people are testing democratic muscles toward civilian government official.

As a least developed and poor nation, there are so many inconvenience within country. People were ruled by iron-fist in the past and have to be quiet when the things around goes or against their wills. Our people lived in fear when military junta ruled for a half century. In fact, we don't deserve the place where we are standing right now. We are just a victims of mismanagement and miss leadership. Now our country has been changed and open up both economy and political. Thus, definitely, sooner than later, our country will prosper from the benefit of FDI and they are subject to how deep our leaders are in the long sight. Today, people are staging serial demonstration against authority, employers, environmental issue, etc. There are reason for why people are out of their work. It's our authority's obligation to settle all those problems that our people struggling with. It's likely to be longer unless their target are met by authority. Seeing people on the road long suggest you have been poor in public relationship. It's your duty to solve those problems. People are not out for fun definitely. Just to highlight their daily suffering to authority. Our authority should try to change their minds toward public servicing. Otherwise, it's not people's problem once public outbreak at the end.
