Yangon, February 12 -- In his message to the people on the occasion of the 64th anniversary of Union Day today, Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council ( SPDC ) Senior General Than Shwe hailed the sessions of the hluttaws ( parliaments ) being held as the “legislative organs, which are forming administrative bodies for building a modern, developed democratic nation.”
The Union Day, one of the most important days in Myanmar’s history, marks the signing of famous Penglong Agreement by the architect of the country’s Independence General Aung San and leaders of ethnic national races 64 years today for demanding Independence from the British in unity.
Claiming that the people of all national races in Myanmar now have equal rights, Than Shwe said they now have the right to elect and the right to stand for elections.
“The democracy system introduced to Myanmar is still in its infancy,” Than Shwe said urging the entire national people to safeguard the newly introduced democracy system from all forms of disruptions.
The military supremo also warned the people to be on alert against clandestine schemes, which could be hatched by power craving groups to drive a wedge among national races to destroy national unity.
Than Shwe also reminded the people the importance of non-disintegration of the Union and called on them to defend the national unity with all their might.
Than Shwe’s speech also dwelt at length on the way the colonialists had sown the seeds of misunderstanding between Myanmar and ethnic national races residing in border areas as part of their divide-and-rule policy before Myanmar attained Independence.
Than Shwe’s message was read out to the mass rally in Nay Pyi Taw by Secretary ( 1 ) of the SPDC Thiha Thura Tin Aung Myint Oo ( Ex-Army General ).
Despite being disbanded by the military government, the National League for Democracy ( NLD ) held a rival mass meeting at the NLD head office in Yangon this afternoon during which two-page NLD message for the people was read out by a leader of the NLD.
In contrast to Than Shwe’s message, the two-page NLD message depicted the present conditions of the country as those where ethnic nationalities enjoy no rights what-so-ever.
“The aims of Penglong agreement have disappeared, democratic rights have been lost together with the rights of nationalities,” said the NLD message.
“If we want to build a stable, peaceful, prosperous and truly democratic Union, the solidarity among all the nationalities is imperative. To achieve such solidarity, resolute determination must be made to render all nationalities of the Union justice and fairness in social relations, economy and politics together with the freedom of thoughts, expression, belief and livelihood as well as the equality of status and opportunity,” said the NLD message adding that only then a new peaceful, peaceful and genuine democratic Union would be emerged.
The NLD message reiterated the NLD’s oft- repeated demand for meaningful dialogue with the military junta for implementing national reconciliation.
In her short but strong-worded speech at the above-mentioned meeting, democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi stressed the need to widen the political forum of the democratic groups.
Aung San Suu Kyi warned the military government to stop putting pressure on democratic groups and ethnic nationalities by saying that “so long as the political forum for democratic groups and those of ethnic nationalities is forced to make narrow, there will never be national unity.

Migrant ‘was chained to hospital bed’ thumbnail
Charlie Deeyu soon after he was discharged from hospital (HRDF)
Shackles were today removed from a severely injured Burmese migrant worker who had been chained to his hospital bed in central Thailand.
Charlie Deeyu was taken to hospital on 9 January with severe wounds to the abdomen and a broken femur. Weeks later, after being moved from a general hospital to a police hospital, Thai authorities controversially deemed that his illegal status in the country warranted chaining him to his hospital bed, despite the fact that his injuries rendered him immobile.
The Human Rights and Development Foundation (HRDF), a Thai NGO, told DVB that “the system has really let him down”. Deeyu had no legal papers on him, meaning that both his employers and the Thai labour ministry refused to cover the cost of his treatment.
The 28-year-old had incurred the injury at the construction site he worked at in Pathum Thani province. “A metal bar hit him and ruptured his intestines and broke a femur bone,” Andy Hall from HRDF told DVB.
On 20 January, weeks into his hospital stay, Deeyu’s work permit expired. Following his failure to pay medical fees, hospital staff informed the police that he was an “illegal”. HRDF believes this is against the Ministry of Public Health’s own regulations on the humanitarian treatment of all people, irrespective of their legal status.
“We also believe that the police should not have arrested him. We believe that both the hospital in Pathum Thani and the police were wrong to ensure that this guy ended up in the immigration detention centre”.
Following the 31 January payment date, police then transferred Deeyu to a detention centre for deportation back to Burma. HRDF then intervened, arguing that a person in his condition could not be deported and that his illegal status resulted from his injuries. The immigration department then agreed to transfer him to the Police General Hospital in Bangkok.
But under police custody at the hospital he was shackled to his bed. HRDF claims his treatment was in breach of Section 26 and 31 of the 2007 Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and order 1438/2552 of Thailand’s Central Administrative Court.
But following the intervention, Deeyu was today unshackled. “The chains were removed today just before 11 o’clock this morning by order of the office of the head of [Thai] immigration,” confirms Hall.
He added that the cost of his treatment will now be borne by the Thai immigration department, given that he is now in their custody awaiting deportation.
Deeyu’s employer was a subcontractor whom Hall confirms has since “disappeared”. According to Thai law, however, had Deeyu not been in immigration custody he would not be eligible for the employment protection program insurance scheme, thus making his employer liable to cover the nearly 80,000 Thai baht ($US2,600) expenses. He is also owed compensation from the employer for his injuries under the Workplace Compensation Act.
Having arrived at the Police General Hospital, doctors found that he had an undiagnosed broken femur.
For now Deeyu is technically still awaiting deportation from Thailand, despite having been physically unable to renew his work permit. Hall tells DVB however that, “We strongly expect that the Royal Thai Government will urgently renew his work permit, to restore his legal status, both on humanitarian grounds and on ethical and basic moral grounds. He hasn’t done anything wrong, so his work permit should be renewed and he should be able to go back and work in Thailand normally”.
Deeyu’s case follows one incident in Thailand and a second in Malaysia where officials have not adhered to their own laws to ensure humane treatment of Burmese migrant workers.
There are thought to be as many as two million migrant workers in Thailand, comprising some 5 percent of the work force. Only roughly 1.3 million are said to be legally in the country, but the case of Deeyu brings into question the worth of legal status in such circumstances.

Former Army General and current PrimeMinister U Thein Sein ( 66 ), who has been predicted by many representatives of the parliament as the man to assume the post of President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, was born on April
21, 1945.
His most important qualification has been described by these
representatives of the parliament as “his absolute loyalty to military
supremo Senior General Than Shwe.”
Having graduated from the Defence Services Academy ( DSA ) intake 9
in 1968, Thein Sein gradually went up rung after rung in the military
hierarchy becoming Colonel, General Staff Officer Grade ( 1 ) in 1991
under Than Shwe, who was at that time Commander-in-Chief ( Army ).
Later, Thein Sein was promoted to Brigadier-General. In this capacity
he continued to serve as General Staff Officer at the War Office.
In 1996, Thein Sein was promoted to the post of Commander of Triangle
Region Military Command in Eastern Shan State. In this capacity, he
remained up to 2001.
In the early months of 2001, Thein Sein was promoted as Adjutant
General at the War Office in Yangon.
Under Senior General Than Shwe’s blessings, Thein Sein was appointed
as Secretary ( 1 ) of the State Peace and Development Council ( SPDC )
on October 19, 2004. His rank too was pushed up to Lieutenant General.
Together with the high post of Secretary ( 1 ) of the SPDC, Thein
Sein still held the post of Adjutant General of Myanmar Defence
Services.
In his capacity as Secretary ( 1 ) of the SPDC, Lt-Gen Thein Sein was
given another important post as Chairman of the National Convention
Convening Commission when the National Convention resumed holding its
sessions on May 17, 2004 after its 8-year postponement from March 30,
1996 following the boycott staged by NLD.
Thein Sein was made Prime Minister on October 14, 2007, a few days
after the death of Prime Minister Soe Win.
On April 29, 2010, General Thein Sein retired from military service
and formed the military government’s proxy party namely the Union
Solidarity and Development Party ( USDP ) together with 27 other
ministers and deputy ministers, who also took off their military
uniforms to take part in politics.
Thein Sein successfully contested from a constituency in Nay Pyi Taw
on USDP ticket on November 7, 2010 elections.
The biggest handicap of Thein Sein is his heart disease. No one knows
how serious is his heart problem.

Burma Insight: 31 Jan 2011
Nay Pyi Taw, January 31 -- The First Pyithu Hluttaw ( House of Representatives ) and the First Amyotha Hluttaw ( House of Nationalities ) respectively began holding their first sessions under the sponsorship of the State Peace and Development Council ( SPDC ) at the newly constructed grand parliament building in Nay Pyi Taw at exactly 8:55 am this morning under heavy security.
Simultaneously at the same time this morning, the first sessions of the hluttaws of the 7 Regions and 7 States were held at the respective capitals of these states and regions.
In a phone interview with @@ yesterday evening, some representatives of the Pyithu Hluttaw, who asked not to be identified, gave an explanation that though Senior General Than Shwe and Vice-Senior General Maung Aye were not included either among the elected representatives or the military representatives, these two top men of the military junta still stand a good chance to be either the President or Vice-President of the Union.
These representatives pointed out a stipulation in the 2008 State Constitution, which provides that each of all three groups of representatives namely the group of representatives of the Pyithu Hluttaw, the group of representatives of the Amyotha Hluttaw and the group of military representatives could elect a Vice-President from among the hluttaw representatives or from among persons, who are neither elected hluttaw representatives nor nominated military representatives.
The elections of three vice-presidents will be done by Presidential Electoral College formed of the above-mentioned three groups of representatives when the Union Parliament convenes within 15 days after the holding of the first Pyithu Hluttaw.
Out of these three vice-presidents, one will be elected as President by vote at the first session of the Union Parliament ( that is combination of Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw ).
Strangely the military authorities have taken very tight security precautions all around the parliament building in Nay Pyi Taw. All local-based foreign correspondents were prohibited from attending the first session of the Pyithu Hluttaw as well as that of Amyotha Hluttaw.
In other words no local-based foreign correspondent was allowed to attend these sessions for getting news of the proceedings of the sessions.
So also diplomats from Yangon-based foreign embassies were not invited to observe the above-mentioned sessions.
Though local-based foreign correspondents tried to approach the parliament building, they were prevented from getting close to the parliament building by a cordon of police personnel.
Only a limited number of media persons from state-owned newspapers and state-owned TV were allowed to attend these sessions to cover the news of the sessions.
According to a high ranking official of the Ministry of Information, the news of the opening sessions of the Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw will broadcast at 6 pm ( MST ) this evening through the state-owned media.
