Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi has announced she is ready to re-enter politics, but many obstacles still lie ahead for a country still coming to terms with reform.
Driving through the Burmese countryside, I passed a Land Rover that must have been half a century old, four monks clinging to its green frame, as they rattled through the countryside, saffron robes blowing in the breeze.
Women with their faces daubed in sandalwood paste under conical straw hats glanced up as we passed. Behind them, a man stood under an awning rhythmically treading a water pump to irrigate the paddy fields as they worked.
Our destination could not have been more different from this timeless scene. The neat lawns in the strange fantasy-land of the new capital Nay Pyi Taw, carved out of the jungle, where everything is on a gargantuan scale.
When it was built, civil servants were told to move north overnight from Rangoon - disrupting families and lives. Suicide rates in this weird place are said to be very high.
There are tens of thousands of hotel rooms, empty most of the year, except during a gem fair, when Chinese buyers descend on Nay Pyi Taw to deal in Burma's mineral wealth.

The presidential palace with its vast air-conditioned spaces, and chandeliers sparkling with thousands of lights, seem more than incongruous in a country where state spending on health per person is less than $1 (£0.70) per year.
The new town exists in a fantasy economy.
As it is a capital city, foreign diplomats will be expected to move here, and areas have been marked out for them already. But one Western embassy worked out that the way the sites are being financed, it would cost $70m over 30 years if they took up the offer.
But in a military state, normal economics have been turned on their head for a long time.
There are several exchange rates for the Burmese currency, as black market money flows in and out of the country.
In the wings
The real power here lies in the hands of men who are called "cronies" in normal conversation. Like Russian oligarchs, the cronies in Burma are the men behind the scenes, close to China and outside democratic control as they profit from monopolies in timber, gems and gas.

In a sequence of carefully choreographed moves, the government is easing its relationship towards this iconic figure ”
They are watching in the wings, as a government with reform on its mind moves steadily away from the corruption and repression of a world that, in the past, suited them well.
Change means that recently released prisoners can write in dissident newspapers that are no longer censored and are distributed openly.
Until only a few months ago there were daily attacks on the BBC in Burma's main newspaper.
Aung San Suu Kyi said that one of the biggest signals of change was that she, for the first time, had been able to talk openly to the BBC in Rangoon, after I was given an unprecedented visa.
The political impact of all this is seismic.
Bumping along in the back of a van on our way to see a school opened in the last year by Aung San Suu Kyi's supporters, Myo Yan Naung Thein, the leader of the last major student protest back in 1996, told me in clear and stark terms that protest is over.
He and his comrades - who made new alliances in jail - have formed a loose network of pro-democracy groups, backing Aung San Suu Kyi, and working within the system for the first time. He said: "If you can't beat them, join them."

REFORM IN BURMA
7 Nov 2010: First polls in 20 years
13 Nov: Aung San Suu Kyi freed from house arrest
30 Mar 2011: Transfer of power to new government complete
14 Aug: Aung San Suu Kyi allowed to leave Rangoon on political visit
19 Aug: Aung San Suu Kyi meets Burmese President Thein Sein
6 Oct: Human rights commission established
12 Oct: More than 200 political prisoners freed
13 Oct: New labour laws allowing unions passed
17 Nov: Burma granted Asean chair in 2014
In a graphic image, the former student leader said that if Burmese people were willing to line up, 10 by 10 by 10 in front of soldiers shooting, then revolution would be possible, as they would wear out the will of the army after thousands had died.
"But," he concluded, "we don't have enough blood to shed".
In calling off protests, the pro-democracy activists are putting all their trust in secret conversations that the new President Thein Sein has had with Aung San Suu Kyi.
In a sequence of carefully choreographed moves, the government is easing its relationship towards this iconic figure - not unlike the way white South Africa changed course and opened Nelson Mandela's prison doors.
Posters of Aung San Suu Kyi are openly for sale on the streets, and she will run for parliament, probably next year.
But Aung San Suu Kyi has not brought all of her party with her in her decision to compromise with the regime. There was another protest by Buddhist monks in Mandalay this week.
Small demos like these are a distraction. More widespread protests though could destabilise the confidence built between Aung San Suu Kyi and the reformist president and his allies. And it would strengthen the hand of hard-liners opposed to reform in the strange fantasy capital.
Formidable obstacles to reform remain and high hopes rest on the slender figure of Aung San Suu Kyi.

Statement by Mr. Vijay Nambiar Special Adviser to the Secretary-General
Yangon, 4 November 2011
I have just completed a five day visit in the country at the invitation of the Government in my capacity as Special Adviser to the Secretary-General for Myanmar. This was my third visit since last year’s election.
In Naypyitaw, I was received by Vice-President U Tin Aung Myint Oo, the Speaker of the Upper House U Khin Aung Myint, the Minister for Foreign Affairs U Wunna Maung Lwin, and the Minister of Social Welfare and Labour U Aung Kyi. I also met with the Union Peacemaking Group and with the Union Election Commission. In Mandalay and in Pathein, I was received by the Chief Ministers of Mandalay region and Irrawaddy region, respectively. In Yangon, I met with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at her residence. I also met with representatives of other political parties, and with civil society organizations, as well as with the National Human Rights Commission.
An important purpose of my visit was to directly relay to the Myanmar leadership and other stakeholders the Secretary-General’s encouragement of the important steps taken in recent months to advance the reform agenda led by President Thein Sein, as well as the significant efforts made by all concerned to advance national dialogue and reconciliation. At this juncture, it is of crucial importance, for Myanmar’s regional and global standing, to maintain the positive momentum that these initiatives have generated.
The United Nations strongly encourages the continuation of such efforts as the best way to strengthen domestic and international confidence in Myanmar’s commitment to a reform process that is incremental, systematic and sustainable. In particular, we encourage all concerned to build on the steps taken thus far through an inclusive and broad-based political process to strengthen national unity. The release of the remaining political prisoners as part of the recent amnesty process and the enactment of the proposed amendments to the political party registration law are steps that can and should be taken as a matter of priority. Continuous dialogue is also needed to bring about peace and development in border areas. If sustained, these and other efforts offer a historic opportunity to set the country on a course than can fulfill the promises made to the people of Myanmar. I conveyed to the leadership that the Secretary-General looks forward to meeting President Thein Sein on the margins of the fourth UN-ASEAN Summit later this month.
Another objective of my visit was to see for myself the changing environment within which the country’s challenges and needs can now be addressed, from discussing national policy concerns to serving the people’s needs.
The Green Economy Green Growth conference in which I participated – the first of its kind in Myanmar – showed that it is now possible for a wide cross-section of stakeholders to create broad-based platforms around which issues of common concern can be discussed openly. It is an indicator of the direction in which Myanmar must continue to move if its democratic transition process is to succeed and if the country is to contribute to the global agenda by effectively addressing such concerns at home.
At the grassroots level, I heard directly from beneficiaries of UN assistance projects at the village and township level in the Dry Zone the difference that UN funds and programmes make in their lives. The UNDP projects I visited are clear evidence of the potential there is for doing more to better address critical needs. In order to do so more effectively and evenly across the country’s regions and states – especially in the areas of poverty alleviation, primary health care and education – and to contribute to the reform efforts, it is important that relevant mandates of the UN funds and programmes are maximized and restrictions removed. Ultimately, it is the people who bear cost of these restrictions. We will continue to work with all concerned, including the donor community, not only to maximize current activities but also to ensure the sustainability of our programmes.
Finally, my visit here is a signal of the importance the Secretary-General and the United Nations attach to the need for international understanding, encouragement and support to Myanmar’s transition. The Government’s reform agenda offers an unprecedented opportunity for greater mutual understanding between Myanmar and the international community, and for Myanmar and the UN to work together. Looking forward, the UN will continue to apply its Good Offices to strengthen our partnership with Myanmar

Suu Kyi Calls for More Reforms in Burma
Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi says the current series of reforms under way in Burma represents the biggest opening in the country since the 1980s, but added that she needs to see more changes before she can support the easing of Western economic sanctions against the military-backed government. Naypyidaw in recent months has eased media restrictions, reformed its state-dominated economy and pursued talks with the opposition. Suu Kyi's comments, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal at her party's ramshackle headquarters in Rangoon, come as policymakers around the globe look to her for guidance on how to interpret the latest changes in Burma.

RI to assess development in Myanmar
Along with the government, the House of Representatives will assess the latest developments in Myanmar before deciding on whether to accept Myanmar’s bid for the chairmanship of ASEAN at the Bali Summit next month.
Deputy Chairman of the House’s Commission I on foreign affairs, TB Hasanuddin, said that his commission had set a meeting with the Foreign Minister, Marty Natalegawa, in order to assess the situation in Myanmar, including the progress that the country had made in terms of democratization.
He said that the commission and the Foreign Ministry had both received the required input to conduct an assessment, and that Indonesia was expected to take the wise diplomatic step of encouraging the Myanmarese government to make further progress at home.
“We will assess whether it is the right time to rely on Myanmar to chair ASEAN, or we will leave Myanmar in isolation. But leaving Myanmar in isolation could be counterproductive for ASEAN and its regional interests,” he said.
Hasanuddin, also a legislator of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle, said that the commission had already received inputs and recommendations from the ASEAN Interparliamentary Myanmar Caucus (AIPMC) and the Burma Partnership, which represents Myanmarese civil society.
“What Indonesia will bring to the summit will bring benefit to both Myanmar and ASEAN,” he added.
The ASEAN Summit, scheduled for Nov. 17 and preceeded by a series of ASEAN ministerial meetings, has on its main agenda the discussion of economic, defense and political issues across the Southeast Asian region, including the approval of Myanmar’s ASEAN chairmanship in 2014.
The AIPMC and the Burma Partnership called on Indonesia to suspend the approval of Myanmar’s ASEAN chairmanship bid during the summit until the Myanmarese government makes significant progress towards democratization.
Burma Partnership coordinator, Khin Ohmar, said that despite the recent general election, which formed President Thien Sein’s government and saw the release of 220 political prisoners, democracy in Myanmar had yet to be upheld.
She said that the way the recent general election was conducted did not reflect a democratic process, with power vested not in the president but in the eleven-member National Defense and Security Council that was closely controlled by former military junta leaders.
The Myanmarese government should also release the remaining 1,800 political prisoners (not 18,000 as it was reported on Wednesday), and stop the atrocities against minority ethnic groups, including the Katchin and the Karen, to show a strong commitment to democracy and human rights, she said.
Effendy Choirie, a commission member, said that Indonesia should maintain its neutrality in dealing with the Myanmar issue, but that it could enhance lobbying with other ASEAN member countries to encourage the Myanmar president to develop a democratic government.

'Zero tolerance' on aid corruption
The Government has zero tolerance of corruption and has put much stronger systems in place to ensure aid money is not lost to fraud, the International Development Secretary has said.
Andrew Mitchell spoke out after an influential committee of MPs warned that the amount of British aid lost to fraud and corruption could rise because of changes to how the money is targeted.
The Department for International Development (DfID), whose budget is rising despite massive cuts across Whitehall, is refocusing overseas aid on countries seen as fragile and in conflict, such as Somalia, Burma and Pakistan.
But the cross-party Public Accounts Committee (PAC) cautioned that "operating in high-risk environments means the potential for increased risk of leakage through fraud and corruption".
It said in a report: "The department intends to focus more on fragile and conflict-affected states which pose higher risks in terms of poor security, delivery capacity, measurement of costs and outcomes, and leakage of funds through fraud and corruption."
Mr Mitchell told the BBC that it would not be right to say that the Government had taken its eye off the ball. He said: "They are looking at the legacy from the last government. We have much stronger systems to ensure that this money is well spent."
He added: "Wherever we find money being stolen, if ever we find money being stolen, we are absolutely ruthless on the taxpayers' behalf, in stopping it and not allowing it to happen. This Government has a zero tolerance of corruption."
The PAC warned that increasing spending via multilateral organisations - such as the European Commission and the World Bank - may also mean more British money is lost to fraud and corruption.
"The department plans to increase the proportion of its funding spent via multilaterals but does not have the same visibility over the cost and performance of multilaterals' programmes as it does over its bilateral programmes," the PAC said.
"Furthermore, the strategy to increase DfID spend through multilateral programmes appears to have more to do with it being easier for DfID to do this than for it to assess the viability, effectiveness and value for money of bilateral programme proposals."
