Long Life Irrawaddy.

President Thein Sein surprised the public with the new of suspending the controversial Myitsone dam project in Kachin State.   We all welcomed the good result from a meeting of Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi with a senior government minister on Friday afternoon.  This is the first time the government listens to the voice of the people and this could be the best if they cancel the project completely.  We still have to continue demanding on what we want for our people and our country. Let’s keep up the good work.  Long Life Irrawaddy.  We love Irrawaddy.

                                                                                                                             

The most literate nation

“By Closing down all the student hostel is the best way to keep the students away from the protest” Minister of Education said yesterday.   How disappointing, all they think about is to prevent the student protest instead of thinking about how to upgrade our Burmese student’s education.    Burma education has been downgrading since military government ruled the country.  Who is responsible for our nation education system?  The military dictatorship is responsible for Burma’s failed education system.  If the new government keeping up the same way what the military government did to us, no bright future for Burmese students can be expected.  Poor education and lack of resources is not the sign of changing to better country.  Stop making those lame excuses and it’s time to get back to the most literate nation (Burma) in South East Asia.

Can't Wait

For years, we have heard the word “wait”.  Change inside Burma is better to come in near future.  Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the hardships of the world’s most brutal military regimes. It has been almost 50 years.  How many more years we have to wait to be living in free societies?  We deserve nothing  less.  When you have seen the military kill someone from your family or your society, you will understand why we find it difficult to wait.

NONVIOLENCE

"The nonviolent approach does not immediately change the heart of the oppressor.  It first does something to the hearts and souls of those committed to it.  It gives them new self-respect; it calls up resources of strength and courage that they did not know they had.  Finally it reaches the opponent and so stirs his conscience that reconciliation becomes a reality."

The Saffron Revolution (4th year Anniversary)

The historic event for all Burmese people, 4^th th  Anniversary of the Saffron Revolution, September 26 2011 is around the corner.

 Today, September 24  2011, dozens of people organized at IBMO (The International Burmese Monks Organization) New York  and prayed for the Burmese monks and the people who scarified their lives in the Saffron revolution in 2007.

Burmese people around New York City came together to pray for all the fallen heroes who fight for freedom and justice for our Nation.

The student leader Ko Nay Tin Myint participated as  a master of ceremony, Ashin Kawwida (Vice President of IBMO), U Khin Maung Kyi and U Kyaw Win spoke to the audiences who showed their attendance and support to this memorial event.  Every single word were said about  how we could help for the people who are inside Burma and  has been suffering for so many years  and why we were gathering  at IBMO today.   Sayar Maung Swan Yi (U Win Pe) recited the poem for the Saffron Revolution.   

The event was successfully over and I would like to say thanks to Sayardaw on behalf of Burmese people for all the guidance and remarkable words to us.
