THERE is Burmese saying with regard to a definition of news. If the dog bikes a person, it is normal and not a news. But if a person bike the dog, it become news. If it is the case, current Myanmar's situation resemble the latter. Whatever Myanmar does for the time being, it easily become news both local and international. When the government privatize public properties, it become news. When our president meets media, it seem hot news. When our authority deals with western firms, it was easily made news. When our banking sector got refurbished, it is seen major move. When our currency was put on floating than usual fixed, it is considered signs of reform. When authority release political prisoners, it have drawn people's attention. When ASSK meets president, people applaud. When industrial zones plans are revealed, journalist see it big news.
It look like anything move in Myanmar, it become readily news because the whole world is looking at Myanmar interestingly. For sure, change is in the sky of Myanmar at the moment. Some people still unconvinced with the change of Myanmar, they have been cautious optimistic. The time will judge their opinion or remarks towards Myanmar. Anyway Myanmarese are seeing several changes and start feeling freedom that they have been missing for a half century. Nowadays, people goes protest for their expression if something they think goes wrong. Sign of democracy country. Some worry for boom and bust as changing is happening so fast. Since we have been left behind for few decades against neighboring countries, we can't move with slow pace. It is appropriate to move quickly if we are about to close the gap with our region. Hopefully, we all would have a chance to see developing nation within our life span. I strongly believe in seeing if we are able to keep the current momentum to its eternity.
