AS a man brought up in Burma from the time of military rule, I didn't have a proper education which is systematically denied by military junta. I do not aware what is the reason that make our country from the richest country in Asia in the 1950s to its status as one of the least developed nations in the world in the late-1980s. It is I think partly because we were denied to learn truth internal history to cover up their wrongdoing. Until I had a chance to work abroad, I do not concern how under-developed status within our country because we used to such situation since we were born. I am reading a book that reflect an era of military rule in Burma and felt so sad to learn history as it is. Burma wasn't left in ruin even by a colonial British government in 1948. In contrary, that time Burma was the most promising nation in Asia to succeed colonial era among other nations in region.
Knowing the manipulators to drag country bottom hit for their own benefit is really outrageous and feel they failed to fulfill their obligation and betrayal to state. Once rice bowl of Asia became a nation that cannot feed its people enough by military government. The country's surface and under ground natural resources have been severely extracted and people are suffering from adverse weather nowadays due to losing green environment. It look like the handful of generals enjoy country's resources by grant and let people suffer consequence of their mismanagement. I arguably doubt that Burma will become even developed nation if it never get independent status. I might be easily accused pro-foreign countries by say so. But the fact suggests mine thinking is right. During the last half century, our people have been living in fear, silence and darkness amid deteriorating country ruled by military government with iron-fist. What else they want to do with our country then? Still ex-generals are ruling current self claimed civilian government and grass root people are not feeling change thought they keep saying change is everywhere. Perhaps their partners and relatives might have been made billionaires by privatization effort and resource extraction. Even lower ranking soldiers suffer by the system they are working for. I hope to see NLD win in coming 2015GE and ASSK take presidential seat to put back the system already derailed and ruined. Otherwise, the destiny of our people will have been sunk for another five years so far. We seriously need new leader with brain now.
