The Statement, dated October 30th, and with the Place mentioned as: Sane Lai Kan Thar, the name of the State Guest House: ‘from  13:00 to 13:55 Daw Aung San Su Kyi [ASSK] came to see Union Minister U  Aung Kyi, as she was invited by the Government of the Republic of  Myanmar’ was issued. 
  At the Meeting the discussion dwelled on the situation where ‘the State is providing necessary assistances [meaning Constitution Amendments, for example, I guess];  and, in order to have economic development views on the importance of  freedom of trade, and free circulation of currencies were also discussed’. And also, ‘the  progress of the State’s undertakings to obtain perpetual peace  initiatives with ethnic armed groups and the people that should be  included in the amnesty were discussed’. Meetings in the future shall convene is agreed. 
  Details of the entire Meeting were not disclosed, as usual. This is the fourth time such Meeting had taken place.
  After  the Third Meeting between the two factions the Statement mentioned that  the President was considering Amnesty, to join hands in controlling the  flow of the Irrawaddy River, to bring in into legal folds of the people  who are undergoing armed rebellion; and peace and rule of law were  discussed.
  After  meeting with Aung Kyi twice ASSK met the President Thein Sein in August  in Naypyidor. Soon afterward, over 200 so-called political prisoners  were released under Amnesty Order. So-called political prisoner because  the Governing clique consistently mentioned there is no political  prisoners in Myanmar though there are plenty. There is some truth in the  government’s claim that there is no political prisoner because no one  was arrested under political issues but rather on criminal charges - for  example: currency law, or disturbing public tranquility, etc. 
  ASSK  met with Aung Kyi nine times under the previous military government but  there was no substantive result whatsoever came out.  
  The  Government came into existence on January 31, 2011 under the caption of  the Government of the Republic of Myanmar with its President elected by  the Union Parliament, a former military officer General Thein Sein.  Many opinionated this General is a Dove – a soft liner, and his Deputy  President Thiha Thura Tin Aung  Myint Oo [Shit Loane], another ex-General is a Hawk – a hard liner; all  baloney; they all are one liner, i.e. for the prosperity and welfare of  the Armed Forces, meaning the top and upper echelon of the Army, under  the guise of democracy. 
  New  Guise needs, of course, new format and that new format is what the new  government is formatting or formatted by the military junta before the  State Power was transferred and implementing it as planned. Whether  former SG Than Shwe is pulling the string from behind or is he still  involved in day to day affairs are all irrelevant, though his State  managed private office near Oatparta Thati  Pagoda in Naypyidor is hooked with Online TV honing in onto the  proceedings of the Union Parliament. He knows or he is privy to know who  is behaving or misbehaving in the Union Parliament but whether he is  watching the TV is something yet to be known or playing his favorite  games.
  The Executive, Judiciary, and Legislature were formed and on March 30th  the State Power was transferred; the military junta SPDC was dissolved.  The Ministry of Interior had given warnings to NLD Chairman Aung Shwe  and Secretary ASSK in the last week of June to stop all its political  activities as NLD is no political party according to the Party  Registration Law of the Union Election Commission. The Ministry warning  emphatically mentioned that NLD’s actions were intentionally motivated  against the Law.
  On top of that Union Election Commission had warned with a letter dated April 5th  to all 37 Registered Political Parties not to communicate with illegal  political entities. Presumably, political circles as well as diplomatic  community considered the warning was directed towards NDL. 
  Though  the new government’s changing color is visible it is still noticeably  unruly. The disregards of public opinions as well as international  barrages remain as the hallmark of the Thein Sein’s Administration.
  Disregarding  its own Ministry’s Order Thein Sein allowed Minister Aung Kyi to parley  with ASSK and even invited her to Naypyidor and received her  exclusively where all political leaders from the Registered Political  Parties are treated shabbily at the same occasion. 
  The  Constitution was amended proposed by the Union Election Commission  regarding the Membership where criminals cannot be party members or a  political entity cannot register if its members are serving criminals.  That phrase has now been erased for the sake of NLD. That amendment had  made eased NLD to avoid the issue of abandoning its own jailed members  when and if they apply for Party Registration. 
  The  antagonistic political ogres of Burma are, on the visual body politics,  in cordial relationship. One is, up to recent past, enjoyed full  support of China and now trying its best to veer off to get into the  western orbit. The other ogre has, from the very beginning to present,  receives consistent and absolute no-matter-what support from the western  camp. It has four Radio stations providing overwhelming support in high  volume of propaganda just for one person, viz. Radio Free Asia and  Voice of America [two US outfits], BBC [British outfit], and Democratic  Voice of Burma [EU outfit] beaming into Burma where people are socket in  with one line to support, day in and day out, every day. This ogre is  the western group’s horse of Burma and Thein Sein Administration wants  to ride along with that horse to the winning post. Is consistent  propping up necessitate a leader to become an icon? Yes, it is, at least  in Burma, it has been proven!
  Within a couple of days NLD will decide whether to register and the outcome is quite predictable: ‘if  ASSK is promised to contest in the upcoming By-election then NLD will  allow to Register by ASSK regardless of party or public opinion’.  Does it mean: ‘if she is not allowed to contest in the upcoming  By-election’ then NLD will not be permitted to register by ASSK? Quite  likely so, as all the past behaviors indicated that: ‘person is superior to policy’, and the ‘party is dispensable’.           
  So  far, there is no knowledge that the outcome of the Aung Kyi-Su Kyi  Meeting had agreed whether ASSK will be allowed to contest in the  election. If that is the case the amendment of the constitution will be a  major issue. At the end of the day, one faction will sure to swallow  the other like python. No on
 e knows, which one will come out as the python and which one is Mai Dwe Lay.
