သုေတသနဆိုတာကို ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ လုပ္မွလုပ္တတ္ၾကရဲ႕လား ... (Can we do research?)
Think about it, 16 February, 2014

တစ္ေန႔ ရံုးခ်ဳပ္မွာ တာ၀န္က်ေနတဲ့ မိတ္ေဆြညႊန္မွဴးးက ကြ်န္ေတာ့္ဆီ ဖုန္းဆက္တယ္။ ႏိုင္ငံျခား အဖြဲ႔တစ္ဖြဲ႔က အီးေမးလ္နဲ႔ ေမးလာလို႔ဗ်ာလို႔ အစခ်ီျပီး 'သူတို႔က ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ဆီမွာ သုေတသန ဆိုတာကို ေကာင္းေကာင္း လုပ္တတ္ၾကပံု မရဘူးလို႔ ထင္တယ္တဲ့။ အထူးသျဖင့္ (အလွဴရွင္ေတြ ပိုက္ဆံေထာက္ပံ့ခ်င္စိတ္ ေပၚလာေအာင္ ဆြဲေဆာင္ႏိုင္တဲ့) သုေတသန အဆိုျပဳလႊာမ်ိဳးကို မေရးႏိုင္ၾကဘူးတဲ့။ ေက်ာင္းေတြမွာ သင္မေပးၾကဘူးလားလို႔ ေမးတယ္ဗ်။ ခင္ဗ်ားတို႔ေက်ာင္းမွာ သင္ေပးလား။ ဘာေတြသင္လဲ' ဆိုျပီး ေမးေတာ့တာပါပဲ။ ကြ်န္ေတာ္က သင္ပါျပီ ေကာဗ်ာလို႔ ျပန္ေျဖလိုက္တယ္။ ဘြဲ႔ၾကိဳေနာက္ဆံုးႏွစ္မွာ တစ္ဘာသာအေနနဲ႔ သင္ရသလို ဘြဲ႔လြန္က်မ္းေတြ ဆိုတာကလည္း သုေတသနကို အေျချပဳျပီးမွ ေရးၾကရတာ မဟုတ္လားဗ်ာ။

အဲဒီအခ်ိန္က ခပ္ေပါ့ေပါ့ေတြးျပီး ျပန္ေျဖမိေပမယ့္ ေနာက္ေတာ့မွ ေသေသခ်ာခ်ာ ျပန္စဥ္းစားမိတယ္။ 'ဒါကေတာ့ တို႔ကို အထင္ေသးတာပဲ' လို႔ မခံခ်င္စိတ္နဲ႔ ျပန္ေျဖလိုက္မိတာမ်ားလား လို႔ေပါ့ဗ်ာ။ ဒုတိယအေတြး ဆိုပါေတာ့။ ၾကီးၾကီးက်ယ္က်ယ္ ႏိႈင္းရေကာင္းလားလို႔ မထင္ၾကပါနဲ႔။ မာဘူဘာနီ၁ က 'အာရွသားေတြ စဥ္းစားတတ္ရဲ႕လား'၂ လို႔ သူ႔ကိုယ္သူျပန္ေမးသလို ကြ်န္ေတာ္လည္း 'ေနပါဦး ...သုေတသနဆိုတာၾကီးကို ငါတို႔ တကယ္ေရာ လုပ္မွ လုပ္တတ္ၾကရဲ႕လား' လို႔ ကိုယ့္ဖာသာ ျပန္ေမးမိတယ္။ အဲဒီေတာ့မွ ေပၚလာတဲ့ ေမးခြန္းေတြကဗ်ာ။ မီးခိုး ၾကြက္ေလွ်ာက္ ဆံုးပဲ မဆံုးႏိုင္ေတာ့ဘူး။ သင္ေပးရံုနဲ႔ လက္ေတြ႔ လုပ္တတ္ျပီလို႔ တထစ္ခ် ယူဆလို႔မွ မရပဲ။ သင္ေပးတဲ့ ဆရာကိုယ္တိုင္ကေရာ တကယ္တတ္ရဲ႕လား။ စာသင္ခန္းကေန အျမဲတမ္း ထြက္ေျပးဖို႔ပဲ ၾကံစည္ေနၾကတဲ့ ေက်ာင္းသားေတြနဲ႔၊ စာဆိုရင္ အလြတ္က်က္ဖို႔ေလာက္ပဲ သိတဲ့ ဘြဲ႔ၾကိဳစာသင္သား အမ်ားစုကေတာ့ သိမွာတတ္မွာ မဟုတ္တာ ေသခ်ာတယ္။ အင္မတန္ေတာ္တဲ့ လက္တစ္ဆုပ္စာ ေက်ာင္းသားေတြေတာင္ ေခတ္သစ္ မ်က္မျမင္ ပုဏၰားေတြလိုမ်ား ျဖစ္ေနၾကမလား။ ေပးလိုက္တဲ့ မက္ေဆ့ခ်္ကို ရမွ ရၾကရဲ႕လား။ ရတယ္ပဲ ထားပါဦး။ စာေတြ႔ သိရံုေလာက္နဲ႔ အလုပ္မွ မျဖစ္ေသးပဲ။ ဘြဲ႔လြန္ က်မ္းေတြအတြက္ လုပ္ေနၾကတာေတြကိုပဲ ၾကည့္ေလ။ သုေတသန ပီသလို႔လား။ သင္ေပးတယ္ ဆိုတာေလာက္နဲ႔ မျပီးေသးတာ ေသခ်ာတယ္။

ျပည္တြင္းမွာ သင္ေပးတာေတြ အလုပ္မျဖစ္ဘူးပဲထား။ ႏိုင္ငံျခားမွာ စာသင္ဖူးတဲ့သူေတြ (မမ်ားဘူးဆိုတာေတာင္) နည္းေတာ့မနည္းလွဘူး။ သူတို႔တေတြကေရာ။ ထဲထဲ၀င္၀င္ မသိဘူး ဆိုဦးေတာ့။ သုေတသနဆိုတာ ဘာဆိုတာနဲ႔ ဘယ္လိုလုပ္ရတယ္ဆိုတဲ့ ထံုးနည္းေတြေလာက္ေတာ့ သိၾကမွာပဲ။ သူတို႔ သုေတသန မလုပ္ၾကဘူးလား။ ေနပါဦး။ လုပ္ေရာ လုပ္ခ်င္ၾကရဲ႕လား။ လုပ္ခ်င္တယ္ပဲထား။ လုပ္လို႔ရတဲ့ေနရာ၊ လုပ္ႏိုင္တဲ့ အေျခအေန ရွိလို႔လား။ မလုပ္ခ်င္ ၾကဘူးဆိုရင္ေကာ။ ဘာေၾကာင့္လဲ။ ဒီေမးခြန္းေတြရဲ႕ အေျဖေတြကို ရွာၾကည့္ေတာ့မွ၊ အလိုေလး ... 'သုေတသန လုပ္တတ္ေအာင္ သင္မေပးၾကဘူးလား' ဆိုတာက သမုဒၵရာထဲ ျမဳပ္ေနတဲ့ ေရခဲေတာင္ၾကီးရဲ႕ ေပၚေနတဲ့ ထိပ္ခြ်န္းပိုင္း ေသးေသးကေလးပဲ ရွိေသးတာကိုး။ အဲဒီေတာ့ ကြ်န္ေတာ္လည္း မာဘူဘာနီေျဖသလို ေျဖၾကည့္ခ်င္လာပါတယ္။

၁။ ခင္ဗ်ားတို႔ထင္တာမမွားဘူး။

ဟုတ္တယ္။ ခင္ဗ်ားတို႔ထင္တဲ့အတိုင္းပဲ။ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ သုေတသန မလုပ္တတ္ၾကဘူး။ တစ္သက္လံုး မစူးမစမ္း၊ မေမးမျမန္း၊ မေစာေက်ာမေ၀ဖန္ပဲ သိသေလာက္ကေလးကိုပဲ အဟုတ္ၾကီးထင္ေနတဲ့ လူ႔အဖြဲ႔အစည္းမွာ သုေတသန ဆိုတာ ဘယ္မွာ ရွင္သန္ႏိုင္မွာလဲ။ ျဖတ္သန္းလာရတဲ့ ပညာေရးစနစ္ကိုပဲ ၾကည့္ပါဦး။ သင္သေလာက္ကိုပဲ က်က္၊ မွတ္။ ေစာဒကမတက္နဲ႔။ ေမးခြန္းမထုတ္နဲ႔။ အားလံုး၏၊ သည္မေရြး ျပန္ရြတ္ျပ၊ ေရးျပႏိုင္ရင္ အမွတ္ျပည့္ရမယ္။ အဲဒီလို ျဖစ္ေနတယ္ မဟုတ္လားဗ်ာ။ ကိုယ္တိုင္ ေလ့လာစူးစမ္းဖို႔၊ ရွာေဖြေဖၚထုတ္ဖို႔ ဆိုတာေတြကို အပိုအလုပ္လို႔ မွတ္ယူၾကတာကလား။ ဒီေတာ့ ေမးခြန္းေတြ ထုတ္ရမယ္၊ ကိုယ္တိုင္ေလ့လာ အေျဖရွာရမယ္ဆိုတဲ့ သုေတသန အေျခခံ ေတြက ေပ်ာက္ဆံုးေနေတာ့တာေပါ့။ လက္ေတြ႔ သက္ေသျပမယ္ဗ်ာ။ တစ္ဦးစ၊ ႏွစ္ဦးစကလြဲလို႔ ႏိုင္ငံတကာမွာ နာမယ္ေက်ာ္တဲ့ ေရႊျပည္သား သုေတသီရယ္လို႔ မ်ားမ်ားစားစား ရွိလို႔လား။ ျပည္ပမွာ လူရာ၀င္တဲ့ စာတမ္းဆိုရင္လည္း အနည္းအက်ဥ္းေလာက္ပဲ ရွိတယ္မဟုတ္လား။ ကိုယ့္ျပည္တြင္းမွာပဲ ျပန္ၾကည့္လိုက္ပါဦး။ သုေတသန ဌာနၾကီးေတြမွာ လုပ္ေနတာေတြက လက္ေတြ႔ဆီကို ေရာက္လို႔လား။ ဘယ္ဘာသာရပ္ နယ္ပယ္ကိုပဲၾကည့္ၾကည့္ သူ႔ပရိသတ္နဲ႔သူ အခိုင္အမာ ရပ္တည္ျပီး တြင္တြင္က်ယ္က်ယ္ ထုတ္ေ၀ေနရတဲ့ သုေတသန ဂ်ာနယ္ဆိုတာမ်ိဳး ဘယ္ႏွေစာင္ရွိလို႔လဲ။

၂။ အထင္ေသးလွခ်ည္လား ... လုပ္တတ္တာေပါ့ဗ်။

သုေတသန လို႔ေျပာလိုက္တိုင္း လူေတြက ဓါတ္ခြဲခန္းေတြ၊ ရႈပ္ရႈပ္ေထြးေထြး ကရိယာေတြ၊ ဂ်ဴတီကုတ္၀တ္ထားတဲ့ လူေတြကိုပဲ ေျပးျမင္ၾကတာကိုး။ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ရဲ႕ဘ၀မွာ ေန႔စဥ္နဲ႔အမွ် ေမးခြန္းေတြ ထုတ္ေနၾက၊ အေျဖေတြ ရွာေနၾက တာပါပဲဗ်ာ။ သုေတသန အလုပ္ေတြ မတြင္က်ယ္ေသးတာနဲ႔ပဲ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ကို မလုပ္တတ္ဘူးလို႔ ထင္ေနတာက အထင္ေသးလြန္းရာ က်ပါတယ္။ သုေတသန အေျခခံသေဘာတရားေတြ ဆိုတာက နားမလည္ႏိုင္ေလာက္ေအာင္ ခက္ခဲတဲ့ ပညာေတြမို႔လို႔လား။ သုေတသန ထံုးနည္းေတြဆိုတာက မလုပ္တတ္ေလာက္ေအာင္ ရႈပ္ေထြးေနလို႔လား။ ႏ်ဴကလီးယားဗံုးေတြ၊ ဒံုးပ်ံၾကီးေတြ မလုပ္တတ္ရင္ေနမယ္။ လက္ေတြ႔အသံုးခ် သုေတသန အလုပ္ေတြကေတာ့ မလုပ္တတ္စရာ ဘာမွမရွိပါဘူး။ သိတဲ့ တတ္တဲ့သူေတြ တစ္ပံုၾကီးပါဗ်ာ။ ႏိုင္ငံျခားျပန္ေတြလည္း အမ်ားၾကီး။ သူတို႔ မလုပ္ခ်င္၊ မလုပ္ႏိုင္ေသးတာပဲ ရွိတာပါ။ လုပ္ခ်င္လာေအာင္ အားေပး၊ လုပ္ႏိုင္လာေအာင္ ေထာက္ပံ့မယ္ဆိုရင္ သုေတသန ဆိုတာၾကီး ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ ဆီမွာ တြင္က်ယ္လာမွာပါ။ မသိေသး၊ မတတ္ေသးဘူး ဆိုရင္လဲ သင္ေပးလို႔ ရပါတယ္။ ေရႊျပည္သားေတြ ဒီေလာက္ မညံ့ပါဘူး။

၃။ အင္း ... လုပ္ခ်င္လည္း လုပ္တတ္မယ္ထင္ပါရဲ႕။

အမွန္အတိုင္း ေျပာရရင္ အေပၚကအေျဖ ႏွစ္မ်ိဳးလံုးကို ကြ်န္ေတာ္ ဘ၀င္မက်ဘူးဗ်။ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ရဲ႕ တကၠသိုလ္ေတြ၊ သုေတသနဌာနေတြမွာ သုေတသနဆိုတာကို က်က်နန မလုပ္ႏိုင္ၾကတာကေတာ့ အမွန္ပါ။ ဒါေပမယ့္ သုေတသနကို နားလည္းမလည္၊ လုပ္လည္း မလုပ္တတ္ေတာ့တဲ့ အေျခအေနအထိ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ မေရာက္ေသးတာကလည္း အမွန္ပါပဲ။ မိတ္ေဆြညႊန္မွဴးေျပာတဲ့ ႏိုင္ငံျခားကအဖြဲ႔ ဘာကိုရည္ရြယ္ျပီး ေမးေနတယ္ဆိုတာ ကြ်န္ေတာ္ ရိပ္မိ ပါတယ္။ 'မရွိတာထက္ မသိတာခက္တယ္ကြ' ဆိုျပီး ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ မတတ္ရင္ သင္ေပးမယ္ ဆိုတဲ့သေဘာေပါ့ဗ်ာ။ ပိုက္ဆံကေတာ့ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ကပဲ ေပးရမလား။ ၾကားစပြန္ဆာကပဲ ေပးမွာလားေတာ့ မသိဘူး။ ဘာပဲျဖစ္ျဖစ္ သူတို႔ လာသင္ေပးမယ္ဆိုရင္ မေကာင္းဘူးလားဗ်ာလို႔ ေမးစရာရွိပါတယ္။ ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔မွာ ခက္ေနတာက မသိတာ မဟုတ္ဘူး။ 'မသိတာထက္ မလုပ္တာခက္' ျဖစ္ေနတာဗ်။ စြမ္းေဆာင္ရည္ ျမွင့္တင္ျခင္းဆိုတဲ့ ေခါင္းစဥ္ေအာက္မွာ သင္တန္းေတြေပးေတာ့ မတက္ခ်င္ပဲ လာတက္ၾက။ ျပီးသြားေတာ့လည္း တတ္သလိုလို၊ မတတ္သလိုလိုနဲ႔။ ေနာက္ဆံုးေတာ့ ကိုယ့္ေနရာကိုယ္ျပန္။ ကိုယ္လုပ္ေနက် အလုပ္ေတြကိုပဲ ဆက္လုပ္။ ဒီလိုနဲ႔ပဲ သံသရာ လည္လာခဲ့တာ ၾကာလွျပီ မဟုတ္လား။

သိရံု၊ တတ္ရံုနဲ႔ မျပီးေသးပဲ တကယ္လုပ္ဖို႔လည္းလိုပါတယ္။ လုပ္တတ္တဲ့သူေတြ တကယ္လုပ္ဖို႔အတြက္ လုပ္ရမယ့္ ေနရာေတြ (တကၠသိုလ္တို႔၊ သုေတသနဌာနတို႔မွာ) ေရာက္ေနဖို႔ လိုပါတယ္။ သူတို႔ကို အဲဒီေနရာေတြဆီ ပို႔ရံုနဲ႔လည္း မျပီးေသးပါ။ သူတို႔မွာ လုပ္ခ်င္စိတ္ ရွိဖို႔လိုပါတယ္။ လုပ္ခ်င္စိတ္ ရွိလာဖို႔အတြက္ ဘ၀ဖူလံုဖို႔နဲ႔ အနာဂတ္မွာ ေမွ်ာ္လင့္စရာေတြလည္း ရွိရပါမယ္။ အေျပာလြယ္သေလာက္ လက္ေတြ႔မွာ သိပ္ခက္တဲ့ ကိစၥပါ။ ကြ်န္ေတာ့္မိတ္ေဆြ ညႊန္မွဴးကို 'ႏိုင္ငံျခားက အဖြဲ႔ကို ေမးၾကည့္စမ္းပါဗ်ာ။ သုေတသန မလုပ္ခ်င္တဲ့ သူေတြကို လုပ္တတ္ေအာင္ သင္တန္းေတြ ေပးေနလို႔ေတာ့ ဘာမွမထူးဘူး။ လုပ္တတ္တဲ့သူေတြ သုေတသနမွ မလုပ္ရရင္ မေနႏိုင္ မထိုင္ႏိုင္ ျဖစ္သြားေအာင္ စိတ္ကိုေျပာင္းလဲေစတဲ့ ေဆးမ်ားရွိရင္ ေပးပါဦးလို႔။ ေရွာ့ရိုက္ျပီးပဲေျပာင္းေျပာင္း၊ သိပၸံဇတ္လမ္း ေတြထဲမွာလို ဗီဇေျပာင္းတာမ်ိဳး၃ ပဲလုပ္လုပ္ လုပ္ေပးပါလို႔ ေျပာဗ်ာ' လို႔ ကြ်န္ေတာ္ ရယ္စရာလုပ္ ေျပာမိပါေသးတယ္။ စိတ္ထဲကေတာ့ မရယ္ႏိုင္ပါ။ အဲဒီလို တကယ္လုပ္မွ ရေတာ့မယ္ဆိုရင္ အဲဒါ ... အေတာ့္ကို ၀မ္းနည္းစရာ ေကာင္းတဲ့ ကိစၥဗ်။

Zay Htet တကယ္ေတာ့ကြ်န္ေတာ္တို႔ဆီမွာသုေတသနနဲ႔ပါတ္သက္တဲ့၀န္းက်င္ေပ်ာက္ေနတာပါ.. ခုတကၠသိုလ္ေတြမွာရွိေနတာပဲလို႔ေျပာစရာရွိပါတယ္.. ကြ်န္ေတာ္ေျပာခ်င္တဲ့သုေတသနက ႏိုင္ငံတကာမွာလုပ္ေနတဲ့သုေတသန၀န္းက်င္ကိုေျပာခ်င္တာပါ.. အဲ့လိုေျပာလို႔မင္းကႏိုင္ငံတကာ၀န္းက်င္ဆိုျပီးေျပာရေအာင္ဘယ္ေလာက္မ်ားႏွံ႔စပ္လို႔လဲလို႔ေမးႏိုင္ပါေသးတယ္.. အိမ္နီးခ်င္းတစ္ႏိုင္ငံကိုပဲ တစ္ပါတ္ဆယ္ရက္ေလာက္ေရာက္ဘူးတာပါဗ်ာ.. ဒါကလဲ သုေတသနလုပ္တာမ်ိဳးနဲ႔မဟုတ္ပါဘူး..
ဒါေပမယ့္ သုေတသနလုပ္ေနတဲ့သူေတြ (ျပည္တြင္း/ျပည္ပ) ကိုေတြ႔တိုင္း ကိုယ့္ဟာကိုယ္က်ိတ္ေမးမိတာက ဒီလူေတြဘာပိုက္ဆံနဲ႔သုေတသနလုပ္ေနၾကတာလဲ ဆိုတာပါပဲ..
တကယ္ေတာ့ သုေတသနဆိုတာကိုက သူတို႔ရဲ႔ စား၀တ္ေနေရးကိုေျဖရွင္းေပးေနတာကိုး..
သုေတသနလုပ္ႏိုင္ရင္ အလုပ္ရမယ္.. အလုပ္ျမဲဖို႔သုေတသနလုပ္ရမယ္..
ဒါကသုေတသန နဲ႔ အလုပ္ရဲ႔ဆက္ႏြယ္တဲ့၀န္းက်င္..
သုေတသနနဲ႔ေငြက တစ္မ်ိဳးႏြယ္ေနျပန္ေရာ..
သုေတသနလုပ္ဖို႔ ေငြလိုတယ္.. ေငြျဖစ္ေအာင္လုပ္တဲ့ ေငြေပးခ်င္လာေအာင္လုပ္တဲ့ သုေတသနျဖစ္မွ ေငြရမယ္.. အဲလိုျဖစ္ေအာင္လဲ စြဲေဆာင္ႏိုင္ရမယ္.. အဲ့အတြက္ဘာသုေတသနလုပ္ရမလဲဆိုတာကို စျပီးသုေတသနလုပ္ရေကာ.. ျပသနာေတြအစဆြဲထုတ္ရေကာ..
ဒီလိုနဲ႔သုေတသန၊ အလုပ္၊ ေငြ ဆုိတဲ့ ၀န္းက်င္ၾကီးျဖစ္လာေကာ..
ကဲ..ဆရာေရ.. အဲ့ ၀န္းက်င္မရွိရင္.. ဆရာေကာင္းေတြဘယ္ေလာက္သင္သင္ ရာထူးတိုးဖို႔အေထာက္အပံ့ျဖစ္မယ့္သုေတသနပဲ ျဖစ္လာပါလိမ့္မယ္ထင္ပါ့..

Ye Ni ခ်င္းမိုင္တကၠသိုလ္မွာ မႏွစ္က Social Science Research တခု လာလုပ္တဲ့ ဝန္ၾကီးဌာနတခုက ေက်ာင္းသူကို ဝန္ၾကီးဌာနက "ငါတို႕ ဆီက အခ်က္အလက္ေတြ သူမ်ားႏိုင္ငံ ေရာက္သြားမွာ" စိုးတဲ့အတြက္ အခ်က္အလက္မွန္ေတြ မေပးဘူး။ အဲဒီအတြက္ ေက်ာင္းသူရဲ့ စာတမ္း မေအာင္ဘူး။

Maung Thar Kyaw

The Statement, dated October 30^th, 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 30^th 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 5^th 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.

Maung Thar Kyaw

Taiwan, November 3, 2011.

Here she is, Thinzar Win, on the right.

Could you still think you are looking at Burmese girls who are posting for this photo in Rangoon? If you think the junta is to be blamed for all decadent aspects, then, your thinking may be inconclusive.

Shwedarling.com, a website for dating and mating prevails in today’s Burma. In 1988 no one could dream that Burma would be at this stage today but it has advanced so fast and so vast.

Infested with nouveau riche in the ngathalau’ economy decadences are abound; instead of tea break at usual hour at or around 4:00 PM now the nouveau riche have new past time at 3:30 PM or so – “Time to squeeze Pau’ Si” at Karaoke bars that are mushrooming through out Burma!

Junta’s policies may have pushed urbanites to that corner but it is just a plain excuse. Getting along by going along is a sin, by all means.

Here is another exhibit to think of!

Moe Hay Ko, another Model, good at Catwalk as well as other walks – bed walk [?] smooching somewhere in the quiet corner!

Salamani Kantchalar!

Burma was under absolute monarchy from 1044 AD until 1885 AD and was under different dynasties. The Monarchs yearned to possess White Elephant; i.e. to claim as the Owner of the White Elephant or Sin Phyu Shin, or, if they have more than one White Elephant, then, Sin Phyu Myarr Shin!

One White Elephant-crazy king even commanded to retrieve a dead elephant floated down the river that had resemblances of White Elephant and kept in his palace and claimed he was the Sin Phuy Shin.

White Elephant is considered to represent the power and glory of the Owner and the White Elephant would appear, according to the myth, only if the Ruler of the country has strong Power and Glory.

Burma has dictators since 1962: viz. Ne Win, Saw Maung, Than Shwe; and, all of them seem to believe that they were the royalty somehow or other. The last dynasty, Koane Baung, ended with His Majesty King Thibaw. The prophecy had it that there would be 13 Koane Baung kings to reign Burma. Thibaw was the 11th and two more kings are yet to reign. Ne Win presumed he was the 12th Koane Baung King! Saw Maung seemed to have believed that he was the reincarnation of King Kyan Sit Tharr of the Pagan Dynasty, and, Than Shwe believes he was the reincarnation of King Thar Lun.

During Thar Lun Than Shwe’s reign, a White Elephant was sited in the jungle of Rakhine State. With pomp and pageantry the White Elephant was brought to Rangoon, the then Nay Pyi Daw and kept in the highly decorated pavilion that befits only to the royalty with special elephant guards, etc., so on and so forth. All the necessary arrangements were carried out by MI and its Chief Lt. Gen. Khin Nyunt who believes he was the reincarnation of Bayint Naung of Taungngoo Dynasty, though he never got to the top most spot of the junta’s ivory tower. The propaganda mill was fanning at high speed that the current rulers of Burma have highly auspicious power and glory so much so that the White Elephant was presented by the Nats [Resplendent being worthy of veneration].

Within a few months after the White Elephant had settled in at the newly built pavilion a Bangladeshi, or, to be more exact, a Chittagonian, or better known in Burma as Khortaw Kalar showed up at the Bangladeshi Embassy in Rangoon, claiming that the elephant at the Pavilion was his elephant that was herded away by the Burmese while grazing in the jungle and requested the Bangladeshi Ambassador to reclaim the elephant from the Burmese junta on his behalf. To cut the story short the Ambassador along with the Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and MI officers went to the Pavilion with the Khortaw Kalar and demanded to prove his claim.

There, Khortaw Kalar stepped out and bellowed: Salamani Kantchalar!

At the very instant the ‘Command’ was heard the White Elephant lifted up his trunk and trumpeted a very loud noise. The ‘Command’ was given for the second time and the White Elephant responded in the same manner again. Then, Khortaw Kalar commanded in more Khortaw words: the White Elephant was under complete spell of commands – sitting, kneeling, etc. Now, the claim was proven to be true and the negotiation was but started. MI ended up paying US $ 100,000.00 from the State coffer as demanded by the Khortaw Kalar for the White Elephant that was supposed to have been presented by the Nats due to the power and glory of the rulers of Burma.

Khortaw did not stop then and there. He added there are four more such elephants in his possession and they were up for sale if the price is right. MI arranged a delegation to accompany the Khortaw to his native village in the no-man’s land between Bangladesh and Burma to inspect the so called White Elephants. There, the delegation found two more White Elephants out of the four and agreed to pay US$ 200,000 a piece.

Burmese delegation could not just take the two elephants away they bought; they need the Khortaw to release the two in the Rakhine jungle for them to herd them back to Burma later as though it was naturally sited. Thus, the usurper royalties of Burma got three White Elephants at a price of US $ 500,000.

Some one got excited regarding the Salamani Kantchalar and traced back how it came into existence! In the anal of Burma there was a time when a Shan Prince by the name of Sao Han Pha, better known as Tho Han Bwa reigned Burma. He was a tyrant by all means; conceited and insolent, and very much anti-Buddhist religion. During his rein many Monks were tortured, killed and extradited to far away places and forced them from learning Buddhist scripture. Tho Han Bwa was the Daman daye [impediment endangering the teachings of Buddha] of his time. Under Tho Han Bwa, some aspects of Buddhist incantations had changed; for example: Buddhan Tharanan Gitsarmi, Dhaman Tharanan Gitsarmi but Sanghan Tharanan was turned into Gunsarmi, and Buddhan Puzaymi, Dhaman Puzaymi, and Sangan had turned into Pu-Jail-mi, just like recent events under Daman daye Thar Lun Than Shwe.

Many Burmese fled to far away places, including Burma-Bangladesh border to fight back Tho Han Bwa and/or other tyrants. There, they deployed Khortaws to attend their elephants. Khortaws were taught to learn ‘Commands’ in Burmese but it was very difficult for the Khortaws to learn the necessary commands for the elephants. By virtue of wits a Burmese gave a ‘battle command or a battle cry’ for the elephants: “Sarr Lho. Ma Nyee Kanazoe Thee”, in rhyme with the actual command. That, Khortaw could learn with not much difficulty. As the time woes on the command Sarr Lho. Ma Nyee Kanazoe Thee had resonance into Salamani Kantchalar!

Ne Win who presumed to be the 12th Koane Baung, Saw Maung who presumed to be the reincarnation of King Kyan Sit Tharr of the Pagan Dynasty, and the cagey sly fox Khin Nyunt who believes he was the reincarnation of Bayint Naung of Taungngoo Dynasty had all but ended badly. Now we have to see how Than Shwe who believes he was the reincarnation of King Thar Lun ended? Is it to believe that those who sit on such chairs excrete such excreta?

As a matter of fact, the real Owner of the White Elephants or the Sin Phyu Myarr Shin actually was the Khortaw Kalar of Bangladesh!

By the way,
All the Usurpers,
Ne Win, Saw Maung, Than Shwe are mere “Suu Yauts”!
