Maintaining sanction

Despite an abundance of natural resources, Burma's development in all area has lagged far behind its neighboring countries like Singapore.  Burma economic matter is screwed up under the political conflicts, terriable dictatorship over the last 50 years.  The general population has  already missed so many opportunities with no industry, commerce, trade or tourism.  The junta and their cronies monopolize all those contracts on all natural resources-oil and gas, teak and gems,rice and grain.  They are doing business with the rest of Asia and still use the foreign currencies.  All those currencies go into their pocket and none was used on public matters. The reason why  Daw Aung San Suu Kyi recommends maintaining Western sanctions on Burma, sanctions affected the military regime and their cronies and not the general population.   So,it would  not be simple to lift the sanction ,they would only do better if sanctions were dropped.
