Another blow to Burmese Generals on the eve of Armed Forces day (27th march). Burmese Army receives the message from Ex Major and Military Intelligence Officer of Burmese Army, who pleaded his fellow Army Soldiers to understand the dynamics of current political crisis of Burma and to support the movement for the Freedom of Burma.
He has urged Burmese Army ( Myanmar Tat Ma Daw) soldiers to understand the plight of Burmese people and accusing a group of Senior Generals of Burma for selling the country’s rich natural resources to China, India and Thailand for their own survival.
Major Aung Lin Htut , from the 20th batch of Defence Service Academy, has graduated in 1979. He was a senior diplomat in Myanmar Embassy in Washington, before defecting in 2005 to get political asylum from US Government.

Thai PM defends investments in Myanmar
BANGKOK – THAI Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej insisted on Tuesday that the kingdom would continue doing business with neighbouring Myanmar in a bid to pressure the military regime to reform.
Thailand is one of the biggest investors and trading partners in Myanmar, spending billions of dollars a year to tap into the country’s natural gas and hydropower resources to fuel its own growing economy.
‘For example, when we want electricity and we need to a build a dam there, they allow us. If we need transport facilities, they let us build a port. So we are good neighbouring countries,’ Mr Samak said.

This blogger copied the following excerpts from Wikepedia for those who are not familiar with 1988 uprising of Burma. Estimated 3000 people were shot dead by Burmese Army during the uprising.
(The 8888 Uprising was a national revolution in Burma (Myanmar) demanding democracy in 1988. The uprising began on August 8, 1988, and from this date (8-8-88), it is known as the “8888 Uprising. “
University students began demonstrations in Yangon (Rangoon), which spread throughout the country. The uprising ended on September 18, after a bloody military coup by the State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC). Thousands, mostly Buddhist monkscivilians (primarily students) were killed by the and Tatmadaw (armed forces).source Wikepedia
Few months after Burmese revolution Chinese people followed with famous Tiananmen Square Protest. Beijing Government finally crackdown the revolt as follows.
(The Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, also known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre (天安門事件 in Traditional Chinese, and called the June Fourth Incident六四事件) in China to avoid confusion with the two other Tiananmen Square protests, were a series of demonstrations led by labor activists, students, and intellectuals in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) between April 15 and June 4, 1989. While the protests lacked a unified cause or leadership, participants were generally against the authoritarianism and economic policies of the ruling Chinese Communist Party and voiced calls for democratic reform within the structure of the government. The demonstrations centered on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, but large-scale protests also occurred in cities throughout China, including Shanghai, which stayed peaceful throughout the protests. In Beijing, the resulting military crackdown on the protesters by the PRC government left many civilians dead or injured. The toll ranges from 200–300 (PRC government figures), to 400–800 ( (The New York Times), and to 2,000–3,000 (Chinese student associations and Chinese Red Cross))
Blogger’s thought
After almost 20 years, the wheel of history turn one round again. During the recent August –September 2007 Burmese Saffron revolution,it was initially led by students and activist. However once these leaders were arrested Buddhist Monks took over the leadership.
Burmese Military Junta brutally suppressed again, but this time, the whole world got a chance to watch in disbelief, how Burmese Army has shot the innocent people led by Monks. A Japanese photojournalist was shot at point blank by a slipper wearing Burmese soldier. This video footage, which was repeatedly broadcast together with beating and arrest of Monks and activists, revealed the chilling reality and nature of Military Dictators of Burma.
Aftermath of Saffron revolution was a political deadlock. Military Junta refused UN intervention. Junta, unilaterally decided to continue with the road map that will legitimize Junta’s drafted constitution.
1988 uprising was unknown to most people of free world, as Junta had promptly shut down the all communication with outside world. World’s attention shifted quickly to Tiananmen Square Protest. Eventually, Burmese revolution has been forgotten by ordinary people of the free world.
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was the only unexpected gift to Burma’s 1988 uprising.
She became well known international figure, as she was awarded, Nobel peace prize . She was famous not only as General Aung San’s daughter, but also for her courage and determination that was demonstrated by not bowing to Junta’s demand, even though most of her time in Burma was under house arrest.
Now Tibet people led by Buddhist Monks have revolted the Chinese Government again. For China, 2008 is very important as a host country of Olympic game. World focus is hundred percent again on Tibet Revolution.
Tibet Spiritual leader Dalai Lama denied his involvement in Tibet uprising. Tibet Revolution will hijack Burmese Saffron revolution or it will be snowballing into bigger threat to both rulers of China and Burma is still unclear.
Dalai Lama has said “Stay together with Chinese peacefully, and stop revolution” or he will resign .
Chinese economy and standard of living jumped from underdeveloped poor country into emerging superpower during last two decades. At least Chinese people could enjoy the economic prosperity under Communist leadership.
But Burmese Economy has prospered only for a group of people, that is Junta and it’s cronies. The rest of Burmese people are in extreme poverty. All the economic indicators were touching red, and in bottom. Burma became one of the least developed countries, as well as most corrupt and lawless society.
To be fair to Chinese Communist regime, they were working hard for their own people prosperity, while Burmese Generals were busy selling oil, gas, gem stones, timber to gold with below market price to countries like China, Russia, and India for their survival and benefit.
Eventually we will see the outcome. To this blogger the light has been seen at the end of the tunnel.

In this image made from video and provided by APTN, authorities walk down an avenue, Friday, March 14, 2008, in Lhasa, Tibet. Police fired tear gas to disperse Buddhist monks and others staging a second day of protests Saturday in western China in sympathy with anti-Chinese demonstrations in Lhasa, local residents said.
This blogger has decided not to write a post today as, he does not want to be in the list of blogoholic. However to day’s news of bulletocracy, given to Tibet people by Communist Chinese government brought this blogger’s hands back to the keyboard .
Coincidently, Aljazeera news has broadcasted the footage of Tibet people revolt against Chinese imperialist. Later, in another slot, Aljazeera brought this blogger back to Saffron revolution of Burma.
News from DVB said in Rangoon, there were several Military Trucks, Fire Engines, and Armored Personal Carriers, patrolling like war zone. News from Mizzima said there were Soldiers, police and Pro junta Thugs taking position in darkness of downtown Rangoon, until dawn.
That is not coincidence in this blogger’s opinion. Burmese Generals were sending troops not to protect Burmese people instead, flexing its military might to remind unarmed Burmese people not to start another revolution.
This blogger believes that Burmese Junta might know what was happening in Tibet earlier than press from special hot line from their Masters. China can not afford to take two revolts in its special autonomic territory, namely Tibet and Burma. So the Imperialist Government of China might have pulled the strings of it’s puppets in Nay Pyi Daw to crush the any possible revolution.
That is the reason why people of Rangoon are seeing Chinese made army trucks and APCs roaming in downtown Rangoon.
To prevent the outcry of International Community for action and inaction of Communist Government of China before Olympic is the most important priority . The solution from Chinese Communist Government and its puppets for those asking their freedom is bulletocracy.
Read the following excerpts from AP news
BEIJING – China ordered tourists out of Tibet’s capital Saturday while troops on foot and in armored vehicles patrolled the streets and confined government workers to their offices, a day after riots that a Tibetan exile group said left at least 30 protesters dead.
The demonstrations against Chinese rule of Tibet are the largest and most violent in the region in nearly two decades. They have spread to other areas of China as well as neighboring Nepal and India.
So Chinese Authority would make sure that it will not spread to Burma, which is still under watchful eyes of international community

Blogger’s thought
I have quite a number of friends all over the world. From United States, Europe, Australia to Africa. Most of my friends are scattered over almost all the Continents of this earth. All of them are Burmese. They speak more than one language and they are able to write better posts than me if they decide to create a blog.
I have spoken to a friend in Africa, who has married to an African Lady. Few days later, I have made another call to his home. One of his kids answered my call. When I asked my friend’s name the boy said “I don’t know”. When I pressed further whether his dad was at home or not then only he replied ”Yes”.
After that, I do not forget to mention his Africana name (who is an ethnic Karen,) whenever I make a call to him. (According to his advice).
This is not a joke but the truth is that thousands of Burmese have migrated to all over the world as professionals, skilled workers, unskilled workers and refugees and became citizens of different countries all over this earth.
The point in this post is about the sad truth that none of my friends seems to have interest in politics of Burma, as most of them are busy with the hectic life of developed world.
May be, due to the fact that they are having a very good salary as professionals in developed world and the fat cash in their pockets made them insensitive to the real suffering of people in Burma.
However, we are still in touch among each other as friends. We send greetings for birthdays and new years. We say reassuring words to each other if somebody get sick or die. We receive tons of New Year’s greetings emails every year. We are so proud to say that we have survived the partially destroyed, Socialist education system of Burma, and escaped to the free world to enjoy the good life.
Dear friends, please stop talking about your MPVs and SUVs. Please stop discussing about US election as though you are among the Democrats or Republicans. Stop discussing about American Idol, CSI , and Grey’s Anatomy.
Let me remind all of you that Burma is now at the political cross road, one leading to democracy and the other leading to the abyss of Chaotic Anarchism.
Please remember that we are Burmese, born in Burma. Our teachers who taught us were Burmese. Friends, although we all are of diverse origins (Burmese, Karens, Mons, Kachins, Shans, Rakhine with different faiths, Buddhists, Christians and Muslims, Hindus) we have shown concern for each other. Do not forget the fact that we laughed together, studied and worked together several years ago in a place called Burma.
It is unfair for us to forget the suffering of Burmese people. Do not use the word that nothing is going to happen in Burma! Burmese people have shown the whole world that they have the courage and will for the changes .
All Burmese people want to stay like all of us in free world. They too want to live good life without fear and hunger. However their suffering has increased day by day under the ruthless Military Junta, the illegitimate Government of Burma.
Do you think you have done enough for Burma? Rise up friends, and joined us by holding hands tight in fight against the Unjust Regime of Burma.

I have received a very interesting comment from fellow Burmese who’s perspective is posted in this blog with respect.(It was not edited at all..)

A Respected Burmese said,
Although I agree with your position that Burmese people, no matter where we now reside, should care about the current situation and the future of Burma, I respectfully disagree on your suggestion that we should cease to care about our current country of residence and its politics. Like you, I get very frustrated with some Burmese friends and strangers, who seem to distance themselves from the sufferings of our people and the dark days of our country. But empathy is not something you can force someone else to feel. It has to be something that has to come from within. It is a sad fact. Certain people only care about themselves and cannot put themselves in other peoples’ shoes.
As far as being involved in our new countries politics, I say we must all be interested in it and take part in it. We are Burmese first, Americans or British or Africans etc second, but ALL of us are citizens of this WORLD at heart. If there is injustice or lack of freedom in whatever part of the world we live in, regardless of whether it has to do with Burma or not, we have to speak against it and take part in changing the political landscape of that country, It starts by speaking about it. Voting for the right candidates. Whatever it takes.
If Bush’s wars and his patriot acts are unjust, we, because we are Burmese and know first hand what the lack of freedom does to one’s people, must speak up, and NOT look the other way because it does not directly concern us.. Instead, we have to say no one should ever suffer like Burmese people and make sure we play a part in the world. Not just in Burma.
Indifference is not the answer. We have to think beyond Burma and be engaged where ever we live or may have been transplanted, while always remembering our roots.
I don’t know your friend so I cannot speak for him or why he has changed his name. But all of us transplanted immigrants have to endure a lot by adapting to new countries, some of us enduring racisim, xenophobia, discrimination, and work like dogs to make a decent living for the loved ones. Some will change names to assimilate better into the new countries. Who wants to be discriminated even before your face is shown to the people, and just based on your name alone? No one wants to be outsiders.
Cut them some slack, will you?
