With growing Burmese community in Singapore, this island city state has become an important place for overseas pro-democracy forces for Burma in recent months. http://www.monywa.org/witmone/images/sgprotest.htm Most of Burmese living in Singapore are well educated, have new and fresh idea, live in harmony with democratic society, possess high moral and social value . They look at the problems in....
Recent statement from Daw Aung San Suu Kyi saying that " I stand ready to cooperate with the Government in order to make this process of dialogue a success and welcome the necessary good offices role of the United Nations to help facilitate our efforts in this regard " is very wise statement as a national and political leader.This is why she is being a democracy and leadership icon of Burma....
I was reading Denis D Grey for “If Junta Falls, What Then?” ( http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=9107 ) in Irrawaddy and thanks to him for just writing the facts as most of his pioint of view are very similar to mine.We, Burmese are afraid to admit the realistic facts. Most of us pro-democracy activists inside and exile, and intellectuals living abroad are running too much emotion and all ....
So much have been discussed and written about Burma recently.We have heard the same point of view from world leaders , politician, diplomats, political observers and journalist to many bloggers. We all Burmese have been united and speak out the same voice on brutality in Burma.But we have not found any soloution to resolve our Burma crisis.This is critical time for us to re-evaluate the facts, to be....
UNSC presidential statement on Burma read as “ security council deplores violence used against Myanmar demonstrators,stressed early released for all political prisoners.” ( http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2007/sc9139.doc.htm ) after its meeting on 11Oct07 . Like many other Burmese, I am impatiently hoping, waiting and watching for the UNSC and the world’s follow up action aftermath of massacre in ....
Thanks for the some of the world leaders' words. These are encouraging for all of us eventhough we are living uncertain circumstance. below is what they have to say.Gen. Than Shwe and his deputies are a friendless regime. They should step aside to make way for a unified Burma [Myanmar] governed by legitimate leaders."The rest of the armed forces should not fear this transition -- there is room f....
The outcome from UNSC meeting after UN envoy Mr Gambari visit to Myanmar (Burma) is not that hopeful to resolve this country various problems . There is no concrete resolution and effective action to help to the people of Burma by world body. Even though, I have expected the similar outcome even before UNSC meeting, I felt that once again we, people of Burma are ignored and abandon by the world body.....
I have always respected Mr Lee Kuan Yew for his wisdom, vision and outspoken nature even though I could not agree some of his opinion sometimes.He is right in his today's comment that "unstable Burma is a time-bomb in the region".In fact, Burma has been a time bomb for many years itself. ASEAN and its neighbors need to help to stabilize this country and its people based on the facts.Burma i....

I was not surprised that Burma’s ruling dictator Gen Than Shwe did not want to meet when UN envoy Mr Gambari fist day visit to the junta’s new hideout capital Naypyidaw .I’m also not surprised to hear that Burma's Foreign Minister Nyan Win blaming for "political opportunists” for recent peaceful protest in Burma.People across the world have seen many photos and video of last week protest taken b....
What will happen next in Burma after this peaceful protest and brutal crack down by the Junta is as important as the current protest itself. In fact, I personally think the changes are even more important for the future of this country.Almost all Burmese agree that it is every individual Burmese responsible to play their parts for the changes in Burma. It is true, each and every one of us have to pla....
Thanks for the UN and international community’s concerns on people of Burma.We, Burmese are eagerly hoping for any miracle and outcome of UN’s envoy Mr Gambari’s visit to Burma and his assessment of the situation in Myanmar after almost two months of peaceful persistent protests against the country ruling junta.Meantime, military is forcing people to come to their arranged anti- pro democracy protes....
My heartfelt thanks to the international community for their concerns to Burma.I also thanks to the world leaders for their words and actions on Burma.But people of Burma need more action and help from the global community this time around.As being an ordinary Burmese, I have been suffering myself under this regime in my entire lifetime like my all other country men. What we need in Burma right now i....
