Open letter from the Government Staff of Nay Pyi Daw, Burma.
We, Government staff from Nay Pyi Daw, wrote this open letter to the public because we want them to know the Truth about how much we are suffering. There is no freedom and security in Government staff life. We are just telling some of the things from the a lot things that we are facing.
The officers and the soldiers from the army who have Tuberculosis and Jaundice are transferred to civilian side without giving any medical treatment and there are grave danger to the civilian staff who are working in the Government Ministries to get infected by these contagious deceases.
These officers and soldiers also married to the civilian women government staff without getting any treatment. There are a lot of army personnel with TB now working at the government ministry. There is a danger of out break of TB in Burma
All the Government Ministry are just a Dump Yard of Military. All the officers/soldiers who failed the medical test and who are not qualified to become officer when they reach 40 are all transferred to the Civilian side and these officers/soldiers take all the good positions in the government office without any qualifications.
All the Food and Commodities Price at Nay Pyi Daw are very high and all the government staff cannot afford to eat proper food. Nobody come and solve this inflation which the government staff facing at Nay Pyi Daw, instead the Army personnel just came and took the good position from the Government office and take all the benefits for themselves.
If you look at the Main Market (Myoma Zay) at Nay Pyi Daw what they are selling is expensive foreign Liquor that no ordinary civilian can afford to drink. For example at Tha Pyay Kone market, Minister of Hotel and Tourism, major General Soe Naing own a shop which selling foreign liquors which General Soe Naing himself illegally possessed by unlawful ways. There are so many shops which are owned by others ministers in Nay Pyi Daw.
General Maung Aye sent the Director General of Budget U Khin Maung Lin to prison for corruption. Then we want to ask General Maung Aye, why he didn't dare to sent General Than Shwe and the other generals to Prison for corruption also?
General Than Shwe is wasting country budget by ordering to built roads at places where no one stay and which were not used by the any civilians and public. Everyone saw that every Saturday, General Than Shwe driving around these roads in 2 Black Toyota Land Cruiser with Tinted windows( so that nobody knows which car he is in) with big entourage behind him.
While government staff have to use very dangerous trailers car as a main transport, these high ranking officers from army are driving latest sedans. In the compound of Finance Minister U Soe Tha, No. 29, Mya Nan San Yar Street, Minister residential area, everyone from the main road can see 4 latest cars parking all the times.
Government staff have to pay very high taxi fare (50,000 kyats/3 hrs ) when they hire the taxi and you have to hire 3 hrs minimum and these taxi are operated by junta control business organization.
We like to request that when the UN human rights commissions come to Burma, Please come and check the below standard building which government staff are force to stay and those transportation which government staff have to take the risk of their life to use everyday at Nay Pyi Daw.
How can the country will development while all these high ranking junta general and their cronies corrupt like this?
We are ready to join with the public to fight against the unfair treatment and unfair system which are happening in our country.
There are still a lot of things, we like to tell the public and we will do so next time.
