Please Vote ‘NO’

I’d rather suggest taking action than boycotting the referendum. We know the junta fears if 1990 election repeat. As being predicted by many, the junta won’t allow observers. A Prime Minister has supported this and said he believed in the integrity of the junta. Actually this is not new but another repetition of his predecessor’s policy famous around the 1990s and afterward. Fortunately, Singapore has avoided public attention so far and given the chance to Thailand. ‘How genuine’ is to come in May. But I don’t take the PM’s words as a ploy letting the junta to fall into its own trap as its own victim.

As other Southeast Asian countries couldn’t make their place in the process as even the UN was kicked away, and left the matter to be settled by the people of Burma ourselves. Yet we should not be short of thanks as they have been trying their best. Whilst Tibet is burning, and the people of Durfur are dying, the junta is kept like a precious stone, rather than a nut hard for the world, by the Chinese communists - the way the dragon and its treasure.

The scenario doesn’t seem to have a coming change – unless the world could take action on China rather as a warning. And after this warning, if it doesn’t behave, China must get a few smacks on its buttocks so it would become a gentleman when it grows up. The next generation of the world will not appreciate the lack of international actions, or actions of the free world on China as it’s becoming a most serious villain ever produced in modern time. Certainly, the west is more responsible than any other regions at all as modern China is grown out of their free-trades, markets and economy and political supports.

Certainly, as long as the communists keep the junta as their protégé, and this encourages a few countries to support the junta, we are cursed by the current political agreements and world order, alongside with Tibet and Durfur. But if we have unity and strong and effective leaderships, we can beat the junta politically by voting ‘NO’ in both occasions, referendum and 2010 election, even if we can’t beat its smoky barrels. Therefore, don’t behave like we can’t do anything as we know the people can vote ‘NO’ and mock the junta. Leaders and activists in all levels, both around the world and in different parts of Burma, our mother land, should keep their commitments for another victory.
