Than Shwe and his Followers become act like the Indian Chettiars ခ်စ္တီး လို ကၽင္႔ တဲ႕ သန္းေရြွ နွင့္ ေနာက္လိုက္ မ်ား

Bay Dah's Statement in English and Burmese

During the period of Pre World War II in Burma, the Indian Chettiars are the main Money lenders to the poor Burmese Farmers and they benefited a lot from tricking the uneducated Burmese farmers by asking them to sign(make a cross) on the piece of Paper before they borrowed the money.

Actually since the farmers are uneducated and they cannot read what were written inside that piece of paper and out of ignorant and naively, they just put a signature(which is actually just put a "X" on the paper since they are uneducated they didn't know how to sign their name) on that paper. Later when the time was up the Chettiers used this piece of paper and told the poor farmer that he agreed this and that while you borrowed money now since you cannot payback the money as per agreement we will take your land, your house and your daughter in return.

By these way Many Burmese farmers were cheated and loose their land, their home and worst of all their daughters become mistress of that Chettiars because of that piece of paper that they signed Blindly on that paper without knowing what was written on that.

Now Than Shwe and his followers are trying to do the same TRICK on the Burmese People.

They didn't explain to the whole country what is inside this "so called" draft constitution. They DON"T distributed the booklet of Draft constitution sufficiently(eg. only one book at the Burmese embassy in UK and 8 books at the Burmese embassy in Singapore and people have to put their passport or ID as a deposit at the embassy to read the draft constitution within the embassy compound) and they still ordered the people to vote for the referendum for that unexplained draft constitution.

Later they will use this vote count and will cheat the Burmese people and the whole world to retain their power.(Did all of you ever heard in the world history that people have to vote for the draft referendum which was never explain to the public that what was written inside..what a joke!!!)

Since we even don't know what is written inside, we will NEVER vote "yes" (actually we don't even need to read what is inside because we all know it is all about for them to retain their power)

All Burmese PLEASE BEWARE of this TRICK!! Don't let Chettier Than Shwe and his Followers cheat you. If all of you get cheated then you and your whole Burma will lost the freedom, Human rights and Democracy forever.

Only action that will save your future is Vote "NO"

Japanese Police used EXCESS Force to suppress Burmese Protesters who came to Burmese Embassy to vote "No vote" to Draft Constitution referendum.

Ma Thaw Dar Min Htun who is pregnant was beaten at her stomach and now in danger of getting loss her unborn baby.

Some of the girls loose their dress and skirts because of Japanese police uses excess force to suppress the demonstrators.

There were five military Helicopters hovering above the Burmese Embassy. According to one witness one of the Burmese Embassy staff was swearing at the protesters and threatening that whoever come in the the compound to vote, embassy staffs will beat them up.

The way the Japanese police suppressed the protesters are similar to the way the Burmese Military Junta did to the protesters said one eye witness.

"The March of the Saffron Robes", won the coveted News Story of the Year

MediaCorp News bagged five of seven awards given out at a ceremony on Friday night. Its documentary, entitled "The March of the Saffron Robes", won the coveted News Story of the Year.

The protest marches by the Buddhist monks in Myanmar last September made news around the world. But covering the event, which saw Myanmar authorities crack down on protesters in the reclusive country, was a major challenge.

Seasoned current affairs producer Sharon Hun and her team took the bull by the horns and tamed it. Immediately after the story broke, the team overcame the odds to produce "The March of the Saffron Robes" documentary in just three days, when similar productions would have taken much longer.

The judges felt that the documentary was a timely story that gave much-needed context and perspective to the Myanmar issue. "I think because it involves Myanmar - the country has been closed for many years - getting independent opinion and information and even access into the country was a challenge in itself.

We were very fortunate to have a group of people who were willing to share their story with us," said producer Sharon Hun. (Full story here)

Mistaken Identity ?????

I am wondering whether the UNHCR officials from MaeSod and US Embassy Staff from Bangkok were confused or mistaken the identity between the International Burmese Monks Organization President Monk, Sayardaw U Pannavamsa and the Fake monk(in his passport A015054, his name is spelled as U PANNA VASMA). May be thats the reason, they(UNHCR and US Embassy) send the fake monk to US quickly? Any Suggestion? (all are welcome to suggest)

On the left Photo is the IBMO President Sayadaw U Pannavamsa and on the Right Photo is the Fake monk with a name U PANNA VASMA on his passport A.A015054.( Did the fake monk purposely using this name to confuse UNCHR and the US Embassy Staff or just pure coincidence???)
