3 government workers injured in Kyaikmayaw Township bomb blast
A bomb exploded in a government telecommunication center in Kyaikmayaw town, the largest city in Mon state’s Kyiakmayaw Township, at 11pm on April 27th. According to a village chairman from the township, who asked to remain anonymous, 3 government workers at the center were wounded.
Kyaikmayaw town is roughly 100 miles southeast of Rangoon.
“The bomb exploded in Kalainkanaing quarter of the town on the 27th at 11 PM. The bombers arrived by motorbike,” he said.
This headman reported that the blast has elicited fear among Kyaikmayaw town residents, who fear that the large population of and central location of the city might lead to a repeat bombing.
“The people are also concerned, because the explosion occurred in the town [not in a rural area],” he explained.
Since April 15th of this year, four bomb blasts have occurred across the country of Burma. One in Rangoon during the city’s Songkran festivities, one at a mining site in northern Burma’s Kachin State, one in the capital of Karenni State in eastern Burma, and this last explosion in Mon state, located in the south of the country.
The government has accused the opposition groups of committing the first 3 explosions, but have yet to level accusations at any party regarding the Kyaikmayaw blast.
The New Mon State Party (NMSP) has denied responsibility for the bombing.
“We have not heard about this yet, and our party is not related to the explosion, as we haven’t ordered to our members to commit such acts. We want to solve problems in peace,” NMSP Vice- Chairman Nai Rot Sa told IMNA.

BURMA’S THINGYAN TERROR

BURMA’S THINGYAN TERROR
April 27, 2010
There has been a lot of speculation about who was behind the terror attack
on April 15th in Rangoon, that occurred at the X2O Thingyan (New Year)
pavilion sponsored by Than Shwe's grandson. One plausible explanation,
though, has not yet been mentioned.
An obvious initial suspect was Maung Aye. There is significant discord
between Maung Aye and Than Shwe, over the upcoming election and the
associated retirement of senior officers. However, one does wonder if
Maung Aye would express his discontent in such a bold manner.
There were two major events during Thingyan, and which have not been
connected: The bombings, and the arrival of a cargo ship from North Korea,
which is believed to have brought equipment for a nuclear weapons program
as well as missile components. One explanation links both of these events.
We suspect Than Shwe ordered the bombings, to create a diversion for the
cargo shipment. They further were targeted at his grandson's pavilion, to
enable him to deny that he was responsible. The following question is
quite revealing: If the bombs were a form of attack against Than Shwe, why
didn't the culprits wait until his grandson was present?
He can also use the bombings to justify a crackdown against the NLD.
An even more pressing question is why the United States did not stop the
North Korean shipment. We are confident that the U.S. was aware of it,
just as it knew about the Kang Nam 1 last summer.

Singapore mentors Burma in sham elections
As preparations for the sham elections in Burma get into full swing, it is not difficult to notice similarities in electoral practices between the Burmese generals in uniform and Singapore’s leaders in civilian clothes.
The Burmese regime is bending over backwards to stage the fraudulent elections while refusing to respect the results of the country’s polls in 1990 that led to the landslide victory for the National League for Democracy (NLD).
Why reinvent the wheel, when what happened two decades ago remains unfulfilled? The same military that massacred thousands of innocent civilians, including Buddhist monks, is now pretending that everything is hunky-dory.
It is an undeniable fact that the military regime holds close economic ties to Singapore – the top brass of the Burmese army are known to have parked their ill-gotten millions in Singapore’s banks, while they and their family members own properties in upmarket areas and their children go to top schools and drive flashy cars, flaunting their wealth to the envy of ordinary Singaporeans.
Burmese drug lords who are banned from entering the US freely come and go in Singapore and some even have offices in the posh commercial district along Shenton Way. It is no wonder that Singapore is the third largest investor in Burma, helping to prop up the pariah regime.
Singapore has even named a hybrid Orchid, its national flower, after the Burmese prime minister, General Thein Sein. Orchids in the same Singapore Botanical Gardens were previously named after Princess Diana and Nelson Mandela.
The similarities between Burma and Singapore do not stop there. The election process in Singapore is as opaque as it is in Naypyidaw, the new capital of the Burmese regime. Although Singapore claims to hold periodical elections to legitimise the rule of the People’s Action Party (PAP), the exercise itself is highly questionable.
To start with, there is no independent elections commission. Only a department that comes under the Prime Minister’s Office that decides on last-minute boundary delineation, exorbitant deposits for candidates (presently $US9,900 but expected to be raised to $US11,000 in the next election), and other regular gerrymandering practices, including what is known as the Group Representation Constituencies (GRC).
This so-called electoral system has led to almost half of the seats in parliament being uncontested on Nomination Day. Presently, Singapore’s ‘parliament’ has 84 MPs, of which 82 are from Lee Kuan Yew’s PAP. And that is “democratic elections” in Singapore for you!
The paradox of Singapore’s elections is that the electorate, some of whom are nearing their 50s, have never voted in their entire lives. This so-called anomaly is glaring in Singapore, where voting is compulsory under the Parliamentary Elections Act.
With all these well-entrenched undemocratic practices, it is not surprising to even a distant observer to understand how the ruling PAP has been in power since 1959.
What is worse is the irrefutable reality in Singapore that one man, by the name of Lee Kuan Yew, has been in power for the last 51 years. The octogenarian Lee, who is now 87 years old, calls himself Minister Mentor in the cabinet headed by his prime minster son, Lee Hsien Loong.
Compare this to the reality in Burma where the army generals have held sway since the 1962 coup, ousting the democratically elected government of U Nu. Even against this, Lee Kuan Yew’s grip on power extends longer by three years, but he continues to claim that elections in his republic are based on the Westminster model of democracy.
Anyone who believes in democratic values could easily see that it is next to impossible to continue to have a one-party dominated parliament in the name of freedom and democracy. Obviously the uniformed generals are under tutelage by the authoritarian regime in Singapore, clad in civilian clothes.
While the Burmese generals continue to not recognise the results of the 1990 elections, preparations are in full swing to hold yet another elections based on its 2008 constitution, aimed at hoodwinking the people. Singapore too is notorious for amending its constitution just before every general election to give a legal facade to what is clearly an illegitimate exercise.
The Burmese generals also appear to have been keen and obedient students to their teacher, Singapore. Burmese intelligence agents are known to visit on a routine basis to study the latest electronic eavesdropping gadgets for their surveillance of Burmese political dissidents, including the NLD leaders.
The recent announcement by NLD to boycott the army-orchestrated sham elections is the right move. How can the elections be legitimate when NLD’s leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, remains under house arrest and barred from taking part? Singapore too, has a history of barring genuine opposition leaders who were daring enough to challenge, through constitutional means, the regime of Lee Kuan Yew.
Victims of Lee’s political vendetta include prominent figures such as the late J B Jeyaretnam, Singapore’s former solicitor-general Mr Francis Seow (now in exile in the US), Singapore’s leading corporate lawyer Mr Tang Liang Hong (now in exile in Australia), and Dr Chee Soon Juan, who remains bankrupted and unable to stand for elections.
These are well-known democrats who stood up against Lee Kuan Yew, who had openly declared in 2003 that: “If we had considered them serious political figures, we would not have kept them politically alive for so long. We could have bankrupted them earlier.” Is this not what the generals in Burma are doing while loudly proclaiming to the world that there will be “free and fair” elections in the country before the end of the year?
While Singapore leaders are shedding crocodile tears and sermonizing the Burmese generals on the need for free and fair elections, is it not appropriate for them to look at their own backyard?
When Singapore’s Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong met the Burmese generals, including Than Shwe, last year, he urged them not to allow the ongoing trial of Suu Kyi to affect the national reconciliation process and to make sure that the proposed elections are free and fair.
It is better for Goh to take a hard look at himself in the mirror: he will then be able to see the ugly features that include a well-documented law providing for indefinite detention without trial, under which detainees are subject to regular physical and mental torture. It is also common in Singapore to prosecute opposition politicians for speaking in public and distributing flyers; laws that are no different from the Burmese junta.
Goh Chok Tong’s “advice” is double-speak at best. What right has he got to advise the generals when the same despicable acts are committed at every election in Singapore? Are elections in Singapore free and fair in the first place? Is the media in Singapore free and pluralistic for the voters to be informed before they go to the polls to choose their representatives to parliament?
Burma’s media laws are the strictest in the world, and so are Singapore’s, the most notorious being the Newspapers and Printing Presses Act that gives sweeping powers, including the appointment of editors to the 14 daily newspapers that are all under the control of the PAP government. Burma is ranked 171 out of 175 countries in the recent Reporters Without Borders’ Press Freedom Index. Singapore is also in the miserable position of 133, several ranks below that of even Angola and Congo.
The Singapore Press Holdings, whose chairman was a former deputy prime minister, runs all the newspapers of which its flagship daily is the Straits Times. It’s a known fact that intelligence operatives masquerade as reporters and journalists in Singapore’s media scene. The Straits Times has its equivalent in Burma, the New Light of Myanmar, which is nothing but a mouthpiece of the military regime.
Similarities between the autocratic rule in Singapore and the equally notorious regime in Burma are endless. Learning from Singapore on how to perpetuate one-party rule through sham elections is a natural progression for Burma under the bloodthirsty generals.

JUNGLE BOOT-SLIPPER DEMOCRACY
Attn;
Mr.Barack Obama
President
U.S.A.
Date; April,26th,2010.
Subject; Sending of my short consulting on Burma's current situation.
Excellence sir;
For it,we would like to consult seriously you about our Burma's current situation that has to face recently the cretical point on Burma's junction towards the victories between Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi's democratic forces and General Than Shwe's military-salaved dynesty and we can talk those compeatations on generations between our national leader-General Aung Sann & military ditactor-general Ne Win.
Our national leader-General Aung Sann had the attension to build up our Burma with the national conference-" NETHURAIN" Conference as the global democratic country with multi-parties system after we got Burma's independence under British-imperialism and we could focus our national leader-Thakhin Aung Sann's idealogy,philosphy & politic on Peaceful democratic united modern development country with global democratic countries because he told our national peoples that Democratilization is the most suitable for our Burma with his faith on the noble truth power but At that moment, Military ditactor-General Ne Win tried to coup General Aung Sann with his faith on the wild gun power and so,General Aung Sann had to act him with marshial laws but Thakhin Than Htun & general Ze Ya requested to free his punishments for our national unity on Burma's independence and then,U Saw with his companions killed our national leaders-General Aung Sann with his commrades on July,19th,1947 and General Ne Win's group participated in it and so,their group burried that history by death sentense on U Saw with his companiopns.Since July,19th,1947,two military generations compeated seriously in Burma's Armies and then in March,28,1948, General Ze Ya with some leaders had to arm struggle because of the wicket oppressing of General Ne Win with U Kyaw Nyein's socialist party and General Ne Win's generation could get the top positions in Burma's armies and then in March,2nd,1962,General Ne Win's generations couped U Nu's Palimentry government and killed over one hundred students by damaging of the building of Univesity Students' Union,gathered & placed by the democratic students,pro-General Aung Sann & Thakhin Ba Hein as All Burma's democratic front on anti-imperialism & facisism and then dis-democratic parties in 1963 and then in March,3nd,1974,General Ne Win with his companions,General Aung Gyi & Tin Pe built up Artificial Myamar socialist state with Burma's socialist programme party on single military party ditactor ship system and forced to get the enriches of all national peoples as the socalled state peoples' ownership system.Before that moment,our Burma's developmental enrichs cuold place infront of Asia but our Burma had to became Less development country(L.D.C) in 1988 by their oppressing,killing & wasting on our national peoples' democratic forces,pro-General Aung Sann's generations for 26-yrs.In 1988,two groups appeared in Burma's armies as General Mg Thint's group, pro-single military party ditactorship system & Priminister-U Mg Mg Kha's group, pro-multi-parties system.
On August,8th,1988,we with Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi & all Burma's democratic forces could move three presidents,General Sann Yu,General Sein Lwin & D,R Mg Mg of Myanmar socialist state under the leading of General Ne Win,chairman for Burma socialist programme party(B.S.P.P) and our attension was to build up the peaceful democratic united modern development country of Burma on Aung Sann's international democratic modern development foundation( Aung Sann's foundation).
But General Saw Mg & Khin Nyunt couped our national peoples' power on Sept,18th,1988 and then permited Artificial multiparties system on marketing economy of military's ownnership system and could persuade some national democratic forces with Artificial election(1990), peace & developments without ethnics' rights on Democratic federal union of Burma and so,they got temporrary intersts of Russia & china and then General Khin Nyunt & Than Shwe moved General Saw Mg for promising on power transfering to NLD and then General Than Shwe & Mg Aye moved General Khin Nyunt agin for promising on all Ethenics' peace & rights & marketing economy and they forced to get all national peoples's captials on Asia Dana Banks,compannies,Insurence compannies & others and then moved their new capital towards " KYATPYA -NEPYITAW" with war strategy & tactic on Neuclear weapons factory & air crafts factory to defend all Burma's democratic forces on global democratic countries and they will build up their military's salaved country with 2008-constitution on 7-steps road map after moving of Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi with all Burma's democratic forces.For it,we got this important news from Insein prison in 1992.
For it,General Than Shwe & Mg Aye told their compannions that they beleive only their armies but not all democratic forces with global democratic countries after moving of General Khin Nyunt's group and marked U.S.A with global democratic countries as enemies on neo-colonism and now, their political wicket process will continnue to act 2010-election with the provides of Russia & China without Daw Su with all Burma's democratic forces and will defend global democratic forces with ASIAN, was frighten by China & Russia and now,China is persuading shamelessly U.S.A,Australia & E.U to support the poor election of Burma Junta Regimes.If U.S.A with global democratic countries supported Junta regimes' poor election,will like to self-hang on neck and so,should avoid absolutely to support their wicket poor election and need to more support Daw Su & all Burma's democratic forces for your democratic globalization.
thanking you in anticipation;
best regard;

JUNGLE BOOT-SLIPPER DEMOCRACY
OF
MYANMAR JUNTA REGIME
On 8/8/88, we moved the military's single party ditactorship system which oppressed,killed & ruled all Burma's national peoples for 26.yrs but myanmar junta regime bloody- couped again us on 9/18/88 and then General Saw Mg & Khin Nyunt continnued to rule us with state law & order resolation council (S.L.O.R.C) instead of Burma junta socialist regimes and gave socalled multi-parties system with military's owned marketing economy and then persuaded us with 90-election after oppressing,killing & arresting-sentencing of Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi & her faithfull politicians.
In 1991,General Than Shwe , Mg Aye & Khin Nyunt moved General Saw Mg for his promise on 90-elected power transfering to Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi's NLD and changed into state peace & developmental council(S.P.D.C) and persuaded all national democratic revolutionary forces with artificial peace on socalled regional developments and then tried to draw the military's salaved constitution with artificial national convention and increased their army form 300000 to 500000 with black money on heroin-kings(Lawsithan,Khumsar, Aiktun & extra) and they inter-group struggled & killed in their military(For examples!

Khin Nyunt had fallen down form General sceretary-1 of S.P.D.C to Socalled priminister.Since at moment,General Than Shwe & Mg Aye forced to get privated enriches(Asia Dana Banks,Other Banks,compannies & factories) and so,foreign investment copannies & Business had to leave badly from Myanmar junta regimes' marketing economy and General Khin Nyunt's socalled peacefull forces had no granty on political economy.Finally!General Than Shwe & Mg Aye moved General Khin Nyunt with his military intelligents & peacefull forces in 2004.
In 2005,General Than Shwe & Mg Aye moved their new capital towards Kyatpyae Naypitaw infront of Pyinmanar,pago yoma,middle Myanmar with Russian neuclear dream & air craft assembly factors on tunnel war affairs strategy & tactics and forced to do 2008-military's salaved constitution on Nagist victims and then prepared 2010-new 25% military commanders election without Daw Su with democratic forces since 2009 and their attension was to win 25% military commanders + their 60% faithfull forces in 2010-new election and so,Daw Su's NLD with democratic forces were moved by the laws of Party's registration & Election and their priminister-General Thein Sein with his cabinet members were changed into civilian uniforms to get 25% military commanders + their 60% faithfull forces in 2010-election and so,they will be sure to get 25%military commanders + their 60% faithfull civilian forces= 85% myanmar junta regime.
Therefore! we shall have to talk myanmar junta regime that they are saling dog's meal hanging of goat's head in the internal & external democratic foces and Jungle boot-slipper democracy too is given by myanmar junta regime and so, really! their guidence democracy will be changes of jungle boot-slipper from only jungle boots on the backs of all Burma's national peoples.
So,we need to move their jungle boots on our national peoples' back by boycotting of their 2010-election on 2008-constitution with Daw Su's NLD & global democratic forces and we shall have to request respectfully global democratic governments to more & more support strongly our Burma's democratic activities and to push strongly myanmar junta regime towards democratic way.

Subject; Sending of my short consulting on Burma's current situation.
Excellence sir;
For it,we would like to consult seriously you about our Burma's current situation that has to face recently the cretical point on Burma's junction towards the victories between Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi's democratic forces and General Than Shwe's military-salaved dynesty and we can talk those compeatations on generations between our national leader-General Aung Sann & military ditactor-general Ne Win.
Our national leader-General Aung Sann had the attension to build up our Burma with the national conference-" NETHURAIN" Conference as the global democratic country with multi-parties system after we got Burma's independence under British-imperialism and we could focus our national leader-Thakhin Aung Sann's idealogy,philosphy & politic on Peaceful democratic united modern development country with global democratic countries because he told our national peoples that Democratilization is the most suitable for our Burma with his faith on the noble truth power but At that moment, Military ditactor-General Ne Win tried to coup General Aung Sann with his faith on the wild gun power and so,General Aung Sann had to act him with marshial laws but Thakhin Than Htun & general Ze Ya requested to free his punishments for our national unity on Burma's independence and then,U Saw with his companions killed our national leaders-General Aung Sann with his commrades on July,19th,1947 and General Ne Win's group participated in it and so,their group burried that history by death sentense on U Saw with his companiopns.Since July,19th,1947,two military generations compeated seriously in Burma's Armies and then in March,28,1948, General Ze Ya with some leaders had to arm struggle because of the wicket oppressing of General Ne Win with U Kyaw Nyein's socialist party and General Ne Win's generation could get the top positions in Burma's armies and then in March,2nd,1962,General Ne Win's generations couped U Nu's Palimentry government and killed over one hundred students by damaging of the building of Univesity Students' Union,gathered & placed by the democratic students,pro-General Aung Sann & Thakhin Ba Hein as All Burma's democratic front on anti-imperialism & facisism and then dis-democratic parties in 1963 and then in March,3nd,1974,General Ne Win with his companions,General Aung Gyi & Tin Pe built up Artificial Myamar socialist state with Burma's socialist programme party on single military party ditactor ship system and forced to get the enriches of all national peoples as the socalled state peoples' ownership system.Before that moment,our Burma's developmental enrichs cuold place infront of Asia but our Burma had to became Less development country(L.D.C) in 1988 by their oppressing,killing & wasting on our national peoples' democratic forces,pro-General Aung Sann's generations for 26-yrs.In 1988,two groups appeared in Burma's armies as General Mg Thint's group, pro-single military party ditactorship system & Priminister-U Mg Mg Kha's group, pro-multi-parties system.
On August,8th,1988,we with Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi & all Burma's democratic forces could move three presidents,General Sann Yu,General Sein Lwin & D,R Mg Mg of Myanmar socialist state under the leading of General Ne Win,chairman for Burma socialist programme party(B.S.P.P) and our attension was to build up the peaceful democratic united modern development country of Burma on Aung Sann's international democratic modern development foundation( Aung Sann's foundation).
But General Saw Mg & Khin Nyunt couped our national peoples' power on Sept,18th,1988 and then permited Artificial multiparties system on marketing economy of military's ownnership system and could persuade some national democratic forces with Artificial election(1990), peace & developments without ethnics' rights on Democratic federal union of Burma and so,they got temporrary intersts of Russia & china and then General Khin Nyunt & Than Shwe moved General Saw Mg for promising on power transfering to NLD and then General Than Shwe & Mg Aye moved General Khin Nyunt agin for promising on all Ethenics' peace & rights & marketing economy and they forced to get all national peoples's captials on Asia Dana Banks,compannies,Insurence compannies & others and then moved their new capital towards " KYATPYA -NEPYITAW" with war strategy & tactic on Neuclear weapons factory & air crafts factory to defend all Burma's democratic forces on global democratic countries and they will build up their military's salaved country with 2008-constitution on 7-steps road map after moving of Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi with all Burma's democratic forces.For it,we got this important news from Insein prison in 1992.
For it,General Than Shwe & Mg Aye told their compannions that they beleive only their armies but not all democratic forces with global democratic countries after moving of General Khin Nyunt's group and marked U.S.A with global democratic countries as enemies on neo-colonism and now, their political wicket process will continnue to act 2010-election with the provides of Russia & China without Daw Su with all Burma's democratic forces and will defend global democratic forces with ASIAN, was frighten by China & Russia and now,China is persuading shamelessly U.S.A,Australia & E.U to support the poor election of Burma Junta Regimes.If U.S.A with global democratic countries supported Junta regimes' poor election,will like to self-hang on neck and so,should avoid absolutely to support their wicket poor election and need to more support Daw Su & all Burma's democratic forces for your democratic globalization.
thanking you in anticipation;

JUNGLE BOOT-SLIPPER DEMOCRACY
OF
MYANMAR JUNTA REGIME
On 8/8/88, we moved the military's single party ditactorship system which oppressed,killed & ruled all Burma's national peoples for 26.yrs but myanmar junta regime bloody- couped again us on 9/18/88 and then General Saw Mg & Khin Nyunt continnued to rule us with state law & order resolation council (S.L.O.R.C) instead of Burma junta socialist regimes and gave socalled multi-parties system with military's owned marketing economy and then persuaded us with 90-election after oppressing,killing & arresting-sentencing of Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi & her faithfull politicians.
In 1991,General Than Shwe , Mg Aye & Khin Nyunt moved General Saw Mg for his promise on 90-elected power transfering to Daw Aung Sann Su Kyi's NLD and changed into state peace & developmental council(S.P.D.C) and persuaded all national democratic revolutionary forces with artificial peace on socalled regional developments and then tried to draw the military's salaved constitution with artificial national convention and increased their army form 300000 to 500000 with black money on heroin-kings(Lawsithan,Khumsar, Aiktun & extra) and they inter-group struggled & killed in their military(For examples! Assisnations of General Saw Mg,Tin Oo,Myint Aung,Htun Kyi,Win Myint & extra) and General Than Shwe group-organized his faithful salaves( Kyintphwint & Swam aer shin) and General Mg Aye organized only the military but General Khin Nyunt organized military intelligents & socalled peacefull forces.General Than Shwe faithed for narrow minded nationalism and General Mg Aye liked Russian but General Khin Nyunt more liked china and they always used to compeated on their tri-thoughts.In 2002,their military's owned marketing economy had fallen badly on their biggest income taxes and so, their group-struggles more & more increased between General Mg Aye & Khin Nyunt.General Mg Aye would like to use the hole Burma's developmental system but Khin Nyunt for special regional developmental system,liked china's special economic zones and then,finally!

n spite of the pressure of the 20-year isolation and sanctions by the US as well as domestic opposition like the 'Saffron Revolution' in 2008, the military regime in Myanmar/Burma seems to be still strong without any sign of crumbling. Why?

“You can kill me but you cannot shut my mouth”
The Voice of Nyi Nyi Aung
Nyi Nyi Aung is 41 years old and originally from Rangoon. He currently works as a computer engineer and political activist in America.
I speak to Nyi Nyi Aung on the phone, on Monday 19 April 2010.
Nyi Nyi Aung (born Kyaw Zaw Lwin) came to the United States as a refugee in 1993. According to his fiancee, he remained restless and all he really wanted to do, was to be active in the struggle for democracy in Burma. He traveled between the US and Mae Sot and other places in Thailand to develop and support activities directed at creating freedom and democracy in Burma. On one of his trips to Burma, in September 2009, he was arrested at the airport. He was on his way to visit relatives – some of whom are imprisoned themselves – and to check the situation inside the country. In March 2010, he was released and flown back to America.
“At the moment I am recovering from my time in prison in Burma. I take medicines for my back problems. I suffer from severe back pains and my spine was dislocated because of torture and my time in solitary confinement. I was in solitary confinement for one month.”
“I was released after six months. Without explanation. But that is normal in Burma. I was not given any explanation or reason for my arrest, interrogation and detention.”
“I feel I was released because of pressure from the outside. Not only from the US or other governments, but also from the international community and Burmese exile community calling for my release.”
“I do think even Tan Shwe is sensitive to international pressure. What you see is that the EU and the US are always ‘demanding for blablablah’. This does not work. They should state clear demands and set time frames. Tan Shwe knows very well how to play and maneuver with the international community. That is why I am so focused on telling the international community and the US Congress about Burma. I am busy going to many places and informing people about what is happening inside Burma. I want the international community to understand that we CAN do it. At the moment I am busy with the treatment for my back, but I am also meeting many people. There is a sense of urgency.”
“Since 2005, I have gone inside the country more often. I want to get a good sense of what keeps the people occupied and the actual political work on the ground. I want to see for myself what the situation in my country is and be sure for the international community to understand. I share this information with organizations that work on Burma.”
“In September 2009, I went to Burma again. I was arrested at the airport and taken straight to the interrogation center. I kept asking them questions and kept asking to see a lawyer and to see my embassy, but they were not interested.”
“You can kill me but you cannot shut my mouth.
I do not want to get hurt, but I prepare for it. Anytime, you can get caught. But my fear for Burma’s people and future is bigger than my own fear.”
“They tortured me. This is normal in Burma. They beat and punched me and tortured me mentally. I was deprived of food and sleep and had to sit on a chair for long periods of time. They asked me: ‘What is your plan? Who are your contacts? Were are you hiding your stuff? Who supports you? Is there a terrorist connection?’
According to the UN Convention on Torture I should not be tortured at all, but it happened.”
“They kept me in isolation, too. In this place you can talk with other prisoners but you cannot see each other. Other prisoners can talk and see each other. I stayed alone. I could hear people shouting in the distance. We communicated like that. They also put me in the dog cells, for one month. And later again, for one day.”
What is Nyi Nyi Aung’s plan for the future?
“My plan is to tear down the regime and promote human rights and democracy anywhere it is needed. I do this by lobbying and raising awareness. Both inside and outside Burma. We need international help to do this. I also want to tell people about the non-violent way and how to do it. I want to motivate the people to believe and to trust themselves. They have to stand up for their rights. The Burmese people have suffered under military regimes since 1958. They have had no time to practice democracy. The people do not know what democracy and human rights mean.”
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has said, that because she grew up in free countries, she feels she is less fearful. Can Nyi Nyi Aung relate to this, because he has lived in the US for more than 20 years?
“When I got caught last September, they asked me ‘are you afraid?’ I said: ‘No, I have the right to do this. I am aware of my rights.’
I feel very sorry for the Burmese people inside the country. Many of them do not know this. They do not know what their rights are. We need to teach them to stand up for their rights.”
What can people in the free world do to support the struggle for freedom in Burma?
“Ask your governments to put more pressure on Tan Shwe. This is the only way to get peace. Pressure by sanctions on the regime and its cronies. The current policy does not work: it is just words. We need real actions. Do not just say sanctions, but boycott!
I do not agree with the engagement policy of the United States: the regime does not understand the language of freedom. It is stick and carrot policy.”
Does Nyi Nyi Aung have a message for people in the West or in Burma?
“Think deeply about what you really want for the future. You own your own life. If you love peace, justice, equality, go and do it by yourself! Trust yourself. Do it!
Do not wait for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to fix it.
Do it.
Everyone has to work if they want peace and freedom!
There is a lack of motivation.”
“There is a culture of corruption which is deeply rooted in Burma: it threatens peace and the international community. People are selling their dignity and morality with their food. They keep their mouths shut and let the regime do what they want. If this continues for another ten years, it would be disastrous for the international community. If this regimes stays on much longer, Burma will become like countries like Pakistan. We have no education for the people. Mental development is very important.”

It is the military regime that is opposed to dialogue. We would like the world to look clearly at what is happening and to see where the inflexibility really lies. The National League for Democracy (NLD) represents the people of Burma and their desire for a fair, just, democratic government”.

Whenever we talk about Burma crisis, we end up saying bringing Burma case to discuss at the UNSC. After that we end up saying China and Russia would block with veto. It is like never ending circle and we have to end this.Now, we have the new approach which will by-pass UNSC or China and Russia veto.

25 April 2010
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) calls for European Union (EU) to declare that “It won’t recognize junta’s planned election in 2010 and its results”.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD) decided unanimously on 29 March 2010 to boycott the junta’s planned sham 2010 election due to its unfair electoral laws.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led NLD, unanimous victor of 1990 election, stands firmly on “Shew-Gone-Daing” declaration of which all four main principals are equally important that needs to place in order to have true national reconciliation in Burma.
Without the participation of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, without the participation of National League for Democracy (NLD), and without the participation of 1990 election winning parties, junta’s planned election in 2010 is clearly not creditable.
The very military regime held the election in 1990 pledging that they will transfer the power to the election wining party. The junta’s Law No.14/89, "Pyithu Hluttaw Election Law," states clearly in Chapter 3 Section 3 that the "Hluttaw (Assembly) shall be formed with the Hluttaw representatives who have been elected.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD) won landslide victory. Instead of honouring 1990 election result, junta put Daw Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest and suppressing on the dissidents intensified. During their reign of terror, people of Burma are suffering tremendously.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi once said that: “The results of these elections will remain valid until such time as the Members of Parliament elected in 1990 by the people have had a chance to get together and decide what the next step is going to be. The world has to make certain that the outcome of these elections is honoured”. Even recently she urges the public to uphold “Shwe-Gone-Daing” declaration.
Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) is glad to learn European Union (EU) resolution on Burma which was issued on 11 February 2010 stating that “Elections in 2010 is to justify five decades of military rule and gives the military 25% of the seats in parliament whereas the elections will be based on the army-drafted Constitution which bars Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) from public office” and it also noted that “Under the present conditions they cannot be considered free and democratic, in particular, the ban on Aung San Sui Kyi standing as a candidate”.
Junta fails to implement 1990 election result until today and unilaterally adopted 2008 constitution to entrench military rule in Burma. The essence of planning to hold election in 2010 is “to nullify 1990 election results, to legitimise military rule in Burma and to exclude Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and political activists in the Burma political process”.
“I would like to affirm here that there is no room for genuine democratic change in Burma due to junta’s planned 2010 election so that all the justice loving countries should avoid any action glorifying it”, said Myo Thein, the Director of Burma Democratic Concern (BDC).

Chanting METTA for Burma
Between 12th and 17th April at 12 noon local time we will chant or read အရပ္(၁၀)မ်က္ႏွာ ေမတၱာပို႔ or some other version of Metta Sutta. In this way there will be someone chanting or reading Metta Sutta during the whole period of the Burmese New Year Thingyan, because we all live in different countries. Hopefully people living in Burma will also join us. It is very important that we do this, because there must be a CHANGE in Burma before the so called elections this year. Because of the constitution drawn 2008, military power will become permanent after the "elections" in Burma. We don't have much time, we must act NOW. Let us all learn Metta Sutta (no matter in what language) and let us chant it togheter during the Burmese New Year Thingyan. Let the New Year really mark the beginning of something NEW. It is time to END the power of the military government in Burma with the power of METTA (Loving Kindness). You can find the event on the face-book. Just type the "Chanting METTA for Burma" and join the event.
BURMA: The Coming Tide
The Coming Tide
The first tide is coming- the Burmese regime will start its dirty jobs soon after its 60 days of political party registration period. The regime will outlaw NLD and capture hardliner NLD leaders. But the extreme tsunami will come after the first tide hits Burma, the tsunami being the tide of the people’s power.
Publishers of the Burmese journals have to send their content to the literature censorship board for approval before it is published. It takes at least one week to wait for the approval. The current NLD boycotting the election made the authorities very nervous and now they are forcing the publishers to put out news that the NLD decision is disrupting the election. If the journal writes what the censorship board wants, the journal is allowed to publish right away. As a result, Myanmar News Week and The Yagon Times distributed their journals on March 31, two days after the NLD decision. Others journals are still waiting for the approval to distribute.
Myanmar News Week Journal wrote “NLD’s decision not to participate in the election means it is refusing to follow the principle of democratic change, which allows the means of entering the election for the country and its people by peaceful and smoother way”. The same content was written in The Yangon Times. Most of the journals need to wait for at least one week for the approval but the aforementioned journals were approved right away, meaning the authorities wanted to brainwash the Burmese people that it is the NLD’s blame and not the authorities’.
Other journals are waiting from the approval from the censorship board to write about the NLD decision. One editor said, “If we write the same thing as Myanmar News Week and Yangon Time, I think they will allow us to publish our journal. They want us to write the same thing.”
On March 29, a hundred thirteen NLD party central committee members voted not to register for the election.
Above news prove that SPDC is now frustrated and trying to blame NLD for not participating in the election.
1. SPDC has carefully crafted and failed at their strategy to corner NLD to participate in the election without Aung San Suu Kyi.
2. First they released U Win Tin, a principled journalist who has sacrificed his life for the country by not compromising to any pressure for his belief in democracy and fairness. The NLD Chairman U Aung Shwe is a weak and persuadable man. Every time the regime pressured NLD, he compromised and accepted what the regime desired. On the other hand, U Win Tin is a man of principle, and the regime wants the NLD to split into two groups. They know Aung Shwe and Win Tin will collide with each other if they release Win Tin, and it happened. When Win Tin stayed in the NLD headquarters, Aung Shwe gave an excuse for his health and did not showed up for six months. But when the election laws came out, Aung Shwe came back to the office and said NLD needs to register, which Win Tin outright rejected.
The SPDC predicted one group will be led by their desired man Aung Shwe and their uncompromising enemy Win Tin will lead the NLD youth, which has been very active with full of fighting spirit. Aung Shwe and his men will kick out Win Tin’s group and enter the election. As we all know, SPDC’s plan did not work out that way. It is the wise decision made by NLD, especially a timely decision made by Aung San Suu Kyi.
Now NLD has to prepare against the next set of dirty tricks and pressure from SPDC.
1. Most of their active leaders and members will be captured.
2. Their offices will be forced to close down
3. The rest of NLD members will be closely monitored and harassed.
But there is a hope, people are now politically awakened, they have been sleeping for nearly 20 years after the four eights movement because under Aung Shwe leadership, NLD never stood up for what people want, his priority is the existence of the NLD party with a lack of policy matters.
Now NLD changed its course from one-sided compromising with the regime. They are now sticking up their Shwegonedine declaration, which has a fair offer to overcome the dead-lock between the regime and democratic opposition as a whole.
People want “Change” and the NLD decision gave them “Hope” to rise up again. In 1988, many thought it was impossible to fight against the BSPP government but it happened and General Ne Win finally stepped down.
Unlike 1988, the current political situation is far worse than in 1988. People are starving, Burma has lost its two crucial resources:
1. Human resources
2. Natural resources
Many forests and wild life have gone. Thai, Chinese, and Indonesian logging companies and Burmese tycoons like Tayza Htoo’s company have licenses to demolish forests with no regard to conservation. Burmese fishermen could not catch enough fish in the Burmese sea anymore because foreign fishing boats have over fished in Burmese waters. Many mines have run out of ores, even gas exploration is so successful, the Capital Rangoon does not have enough electricity and cooking gas for its people.
Many intellectuals leave the country when they have a chance to find jobs after graduation. Doctors, Engineers, Nurses, Chemists, Physicists, and more are all leaving the country by legal or illegal means. It has been a total brain drain after 1988. Factories were shut down and government privatization programs only benefited the rich who deeply support the regime.
If the NLD has a “Do or Die policy” by using 1990 Election mandate to form the government in an appropriate time, people will rise up and support the government. People are now very excited and ready to go with NLD, they need to capitalize on the chance by organizing its core members and draw a strategy as soon as possible before the 60 days period. One important thing is NLD has to be very careful not to make a drastic action before the 60 days dead line. If NLD announced to form a government before the dead line, the regime will definitely crush them. NLD should wait until the regime makes a move first by announcing NLD party as an illegal party. When it happened, the world will reject the regime’s 2010 election. Then NLD has to move to form a government by using 1990 election results.
Even under Chairman U Aung Shwe’s leadership while compromising with the regime, many NLD offices were closed down, many were put in prisons and the group had no right to call for its own party convention for more than 10 years. NLD does not need to worry about its image fading because it will still be recognized by the Burmese even if the regime outlaws NLD as an illegal organization. Burmese people and the world will still recognize NLD as a political party.
On the other hand, SPDC needs to show the world that the 2010 election is credible by releasing political prisoners before the election. They are not willing to change their laws and regulations but they could release all political prisoners before the election. SPDC is not releasing the election date yet and it is only 9 months left within the year to hold the election. Withholding this pivotal information shows that they still have no confidence in the election.
The problems SPDC has been facing within the election period are:
1. They have to show the world that it is free and fair.
2. Oppositions have freedom to organize the people without harassment from the government.
3. Independent newspapers and broadcasting need to established before the election.
4. Independent civic organizations should be allowed to form legally.
They are not going to allow 3 and 4.
Than Shwe clearly said in the Burma Independent day speech, “ Do not expect to get mature democracy after the election.” He already stated he will not give the people freedom after the election. It means he has a plan to win and still control the political power however necessary.
In conclusion, many prisoners in Burma prisons are filled with army deserters. It proves that the Army is suffering under cruel military rule. Who knows, maybe when people rise up for their rights under the new and strong NLD leadership, the army, navy and air force will join with the people because they themselves are part of the people who suffered so long.

The facts points of why BURMA election should be boycott.......!!!
1. 2010 election is establishing Militarized Dictatorship Ruling System to implement on oppressed Burmese by the junta. It is sugar coated with Democracy.
2. The new government will not be independent but only under control of the tyrant generals according to the 2008 constitution.
3. The Junta has already prepared stratagem to vanish the ethnic resistance, human rights activists and democracy movements which will be practice after the election by putting the entire burdens of crimes on the shoulder of new elected government.
4. As soon as the elected governments are recognized by the international community, the bloodshed will be paved way. As Junta’s troops are already in position to attack the ethnic minorities in the name of Border Guard issue.
5. Now the whole country is under double checked position by the Junta including all the oppositions and international community because whatever the choice is made, its end up with snares and traps of the Junta’s created 2008 constitution and 2010 election law.
6. It is also impossible to compromise inside the parliament while all the doors were blocked by the 2008 constitution.
