Who are you ? by Burma Sit Mone

By the way, today is an uneventful first anniversary of  this blog . Time has passed like an express train, some claimed that time is not a real dimension but only a perception of the brain.

Anyway, Burmese people  those who have been staying away from Burma might encounter the following questions at least once in their life time . For me ..my answers to these questions are…

ေဟ့ …နင္ဘယ္သူလဲ  ?

ေဟ့.. နင္ဘယ္ကလဲ ?

ေဟ့… နင္ဘာလူမ်ိဳးလဲ ?

ေဟ့… နင္ဟာဘာလဲ ?

Myanmar frees longest-serving political prisoner U Win Tin

YANGON (Reuters) – Myanmar’s longest-serving political prisoner, journalist Win Tin, was freed on Tuesday after 19 years in prison, a Reuters reporter who saw him after his release said.

The ailing 79-year old was arrested in 1989 and sentenced to 20 years in jail for giving shelter to a girl thought to have received an illegal abortion, and for distributing anti-government propaganda.

Update

YANGON (Reuters) – Myanmar’s longest-serving political prisoner, journalist Win Tin, vowed Tuesday to continue his struggle against 46 years of military rule only moments after his release from a 19-year sentence.

“I will keep fighting until the emergence of democracy in this country,” he told reporters outside a friend’s house. He was still wearing his light-blue prison clothes.

“Loving” Myanmar junta frees 9,002 prisoners

YANGON (Reuters) - Myanmar’s junta is releasing 9,002 prisoners as a gesture of “loving kindness and goodwill,” official media said on Tuesday, although political detainees are unlikely to be on the list.

“We haven’t heard of any political prisoners being freed,” said Nyan Win, a spokesman for the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD), whose leader, Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, has been under house arrest for the last five years.

“I do hope they will be released, but I don’t think it will happen.”

Myanmar, or Burma as it used to be called, has more than 2,000 people behind bars on account of their political or religious beliefs, human rights groups say.

The junta, which has ruled unchecked since 1962, denies the existence of any political prisoners, saying all detainees have committed crimes.

Official newspapers said the prisoners were being released for the “social consideration of their families” and to take part in elections scheduled for 2010, part of a seven-step “roadmap to democracy.” Western governments dismiss the roadmap as a charade.

Milk, Melamine, Malicious Chinese products and Burma

Blogger’s thought

Greedy!

That is the nature of Chinese Policy makers. They were able to host the world’s biggest Olympic, however do not bother to check their export, which is Milk, to feed the million of infants  from China  as well as those who are from several countries that imported milk and diary product from China. Most of the diary products tainted with Melamine are mostly consumed by the infants and the children of third world countries as Chinese products are always cheaper than its rivals.

A few months ago, Chinese manufacturers withdrew the toys painted with excessive level of Lead. Lead poisoning may cause fatal side effect to kids due to blood dyscrasia, or lethal disorders of blood. These people have no concern upon their customers who are innocent infants and children.

Religious discrimination in Burmese Blogosphere?

San Oo Aung has sent the following comments to this blogger. Initially It was under my old post which I was explaining how to go back to home in Journalist theme. However, I have given up journalist theme forever and decided to be with Rubic theme at least for the time being.!

San Oo Aung has highlighted and even reminded those Burmese bloggers who are pathetically stick to the religious animosity against Muslims, even though they are living in the partially free world.

After reading his comments this blogger felt sorry for the following famous and unknown Muslims who sacrificed their lives and freedom for the country they Love.

1. Sayagyi U Razak – assassinated together with General Aung San

2. U Rashid   if you don’t know him read the Burmese History

3. Bo Mhu Ba Shin -  same as above

4. Bo Mhu Ba Thaw ( Maung Thaw Ka)- one of the founders of NLD, died in jail, while serving never ending prison terms.

5. Kyar Ba Nyein – everybody should know him

6.Ko Mya Aye  8888 leader currently in one of the Burmese Jails.

7. Daw Win Mya Mya NLD in Obo Prison, Mandalay

8. Several Muslim youths who were sentenced to jail term in hard labour camp for serving food and water to monks during the 2007 Saffron Revolution.

There may be many more Muslims not in the list. If a person believes in Democracy, that person can not be a hypocrite by praising all other religions and discriminating the only religion, that he thinks that is the religion of Kalars. It is against the Universal Declaration of Human’s rights.

Burmese Bloggers “Tireless walk on quick sand” ( Poem)

Lately in  Burmese Blogosphere, there was a sense of  “quiet pessimism” especially when a well respected figure, started talking nonsense. For the Burmese Bloggers …this blogger has posted the following poem.

Tireless walk on  quick sand

Oh.. All Burmese Blogger Friends,

All of you are doing well,

As though walking on the (surface) of quick sand..

Although..the Chance of sinking is (always) there,

Don’t be distracted by a shameless pen,

Keep yourself on righteous plan,

The light will brace (us) at the end of the tunnel.

Sit Mone

This poem which is originated from this blogger’s heart, after seeing the above  beautiful graphic, sent by a friend.
