Enough is enough

IT is old trick by military back government that western power will influence us when NLD win election and control the government of Myanmar. It was reinstated by deputy chairman of ruling party yesterday on a media section by answering a local journalist's question for constitution amendment. I don't think our officials even don't know how to answer questions because they didn't have any practice in their military life. What they have familiarize is 'just say yes to their superiors' regardless of right or wrong order. It make them lacking soft power as well as decision making in crisis.

Perhaps they may right with western influence if Myanmar become fully democratic nation that people are long looking for. Then, we got to ask ourselves if we have maintained our national security at the best level under military control for a half century time. Needless to answer that China has influenced on our military leaders and most of our best natural resource has been drained away to China with under market rate. In western part, there is still unsolved problem which is related to immigration matter. Half a century is more than good enough to transform a nation. The reality is that our country turned Asia's most promising country to LDC status under military rule. However, they still shamelessly keep saying that how army had saved nation from falling into the broken. We'ld rather like to be broken than saved by army. The history say itself and we have tasted it by generations. Recent news of USD 11 billions private bank account on foreign bank say much more to realize the military ruler's intention and attitude toward nation developing. It is purely corruption related bank account and nobody bother it to chase it down and reveal the owners. It show how related between old and current military officials to loyal each other. So long as this generation of military official alive, I cannot foresee the real progress of our nation. May military blooded management be fallen down soonest possible by justice.

Are we really mad?

PEOPLE are foolish to change 2008 constitution, said deputy chairman of Myanmar's ruling party. I am disappointing to learn this news through local website this morning. It is not first time saying such arrogant ridiculous things against people by senior officials of ruling party. We all know that they were taking posts by grant rather than capacity. All top seats are occupied by ex-military official and they would shamelessly say the world media that they are elected by people. We all know that how did our last general election go wrong to generate favorable result on military back party. They keep saying they are people's government and now they are saying people are mad. What the hell is it to say so?

There were similar assaults towards people by ruling officials before. One minister advised our farmers to reduce one time meal per day to eradicate their debts. Likewise, another adviser told people to rely on candle light while electricity turn blackout during summer time. What a foolish comment are they? In fact, they are really mad with holding power. They are mad with the authority they are unfairly holding. They are scared to lose their position in upcoming GE. They would even die to protect 2008 constitution that bar Aung San Su Kyi becoming a president. They know well that there would be no room for them if opposition party win and form cabinet. No wonder, they afraid of amending prevailing falter constitution which favor military officials to manipulate political landscape in Burma. I am sure the ruling party will face backlash from people for their silly action and people who are irresponsible and self-center person. We people start to feel can't wait to reach 2015GE while the ruling party officials are sweating to know they are going to lose in upcoming election. We, people, will do all the way to pave the way for our lady to become president in upcoming GE because enough is enough.

Shame at you

THEY keep saying for poverty reduction at any occasion but rarely see them fulfilling their promises. Instead, NGOs like JICA are more active in curing people's plight through their rural program. I always wondering where does the budget gone and how the government use the money they get by selling natural resources. It is their obligation to improve people's lifestyle. I am always disappointed to see them asking for help from international community. Sometime is understandable and often is something wrong with them. I can't do enough for my country but I am not satisfy by their performance. I see a lot countries are willing to help our nation building and appreciate it.

We are going to host SEA game in coming December and as usual we need to take donor nations help to host visitors successfully. I read some China, Korea and Japanese helpful hands. Japan will help to set up 4G networks in 4 host cities at their own cost among other schemes. They meant to leave all equipment beyond the game for the ease of our people. What make me fed up is the news saying our telecom authority will not allow 4G service continue for people to access after the game. What's the reason? It was done by Japanese and our own government don't want to see it continue. It is unacceptable for an ordinary citizen. In past, they have done what they like. At present, they want to continue the trend like before despite they keep saying they are newly elected government for people. Then how do we believe in their constant saying that they are trying to fight people's poverty which is made by former military junta. Our people have been long suffering from military's wrong management. Please stop manipulating to make people keep in trouble. Please do not drag our nation going to the right path. I urged your mercy personally.

corruption by grant?

SINCE China's new president assumed his post, there have been high profile politicians have been arrested for their part for corruption. China is biggest communist country in the world and their law still being enforced by its government. It is however most of high profile cases usually came to light following online circulation by responsible citizen. I'm pleased to read such news happened in big China and always wondering when our authority will follow their apparent master's path. China is increasingly influence on Myanmar's military leaders for several decades. The current leader's 4 time visit to China during his current term partly show this trend never sway by the recent reform. In the region, Indonesia is another country who is pursuing those corrupted officials to be sent custody and jailed. I read a news of prison sentence to on-service chief traffic police for his corruption and cheer such news.

Though we have set up anti-corruption committee in place, we never heard such news of arresting high profile officials for their illicit acts by using their power. Instead, we very often heard for civilian charge for their much small scale. We got to find the roots of crime if we want to eradicate it. Likewise, if we want to escape from the most corrupted nations list, we have to claw such officials from the power. So long as our law cannot implement to its full capacity independently, our people will find it difficult to trust on our judicial systems and the big thief will be escaped at large. May our law enforcing service men able to catch those offenders who steal country's asset most without fazing by their rank/position.
