Spacious, Smooth, Swift Reforms?

2012-02-10T06:23:00.000+11:00

I knew there was a condition/style of check&balance in the Myanmar parliament - no accidental. Generally there must be a group made of different individuals with different views; hence, whoever supporting the reformists can be extremists too. What I mean is any of the groups at all in the military must naturally have different individuals - unlike how it is in the parliament one side extremists (

Is Burma Changing?

2012-02-08T07:47:00.000+11:00

Daw Suu did say she believed Burma (Myanmar) is changing toward democracy. We can see there is some democratic reform taken place. Comparing with earlier years, 2011 looked quite better - as the first step toward better future for the peoples of Burma. Hopefully, the second step will occur in 2012. As the first step, Daw Suu was freed from house arrest. Many prisoners of conscience were free

Media Freedom in Burma Will Make the People Dignified

When we talk about dignity, we cannot avoid the freedom of speech for those who understand about responsibility and have much knowledge of life. Here the ones I'm mentioning are: the elderly, the studious, the knowledgeable, the experienced, the wise, the travelled, the one who can see and have seen, the one with conscience, the one who has something to share ... as idea or as news - in one word,

Elephant in Australia?

2012-02-02T20:11:00.003+11:00

Yes!!! Because in my opinion, it can be really good for pest (invasive plant species) control and fertilizing the land. This is the story: http://www.smh.com.au/environment/conservation/expert-advises-big-fix-for-jumbosized-problem-20120202-1qtzb.html Elephant in Australia will be for good. They will certainly eat grass and small plants but I doubt they'd eat the gum trees with too much oil.

Evil is the act of a deliberate cause for self-failure by means of: pursuing a short termed goal, or pursuing short termed pleasure, or pursuing negligible desires. Evil is the act of self-failure, with shortsightedness. Evil is self failing when short termed rise is to cause long termed fall. It's like throwing up a stone into the air above a cliff that it's fall will be far deeper than its

Strange Dream

You may have faith but don’t let faith have you! If a faith devours its followers, isn’t it the same to a lion devours its preys? That thought came to me yesterday as reading how HIV patients died in believing and did what they were told “believe in God and stop taking the medication”. I did think about how faith and cults can be as dangerous as the demons that eat people. I was about to ask

When You Have to Deal with ‘INFINITY’

2011-10-14T03:57:00.000+11:00

The expansion of the universe is possible by theory. The theory states ‘infinite amount of energy’. That’s how the universe has to expend infinitely. Here a problem appears straight away. The problem is – It sounds like: ♦ the wider infinity was shrunk into the size of a pea confining the infinite amount of energy. ♦ the pea sized universe existed till it started expending. ♦ the

I would take the Big Bang theory if only I got an explanation on what (force)could have shrunk the matters down into such tiny condensation before the Big Bang. I have to know if there is such force still outside our universe, like gravity, that can bring all the matters in this universe into singularity as

Multiverse Vs Universe

2011-10-08T12:07:00.000+11:00

1. nobody knows - what's the truth is. but based on big bang theory, you must get multiverse because our universe is thought confined. there is no theory for is outside our universe. if a big bang can cause a universe, and if our universe is not infinite, a question arises: why are there no other big bangs out there? there you get multiverse of universes. the number is infinity. two

We know that the junta has tried to act like victor that cares nothing but greed, self-centredness, pride, negligence, ignorance and stubbornness that are practiced with the powers of brute force, the threat to lose of life, lose of belongings, causing injuries, etc, without mercy. For its inhumane pride and illegal wealth, it’s ready to do anything – we all know. It’s willing to sacrifice the

So the referendum has given result that the junta won by 92% Yes votes. This clearly outnumbers the NLD 90 election result that was never implemented. Let it be! As the referendum has come true with the result predicted, now the junta should have time, energy, and all resources to manage the cyclone crises. Yes, it should have.Whilst the junta has to show its ethic to govern Burma as a good

Stallone was in a combative mood as he discussed his 4th outing...His target was the Myanmar junta, which he said is treating its people brutally. “This is apparent in the indifference of the government to the people’s suffering since the recent cyclone,” he said during a photo call at the Peninsula hotel in Tokyo...“The reason I wanted to another ‘Rambo’ is because I wasn’t happy with the last

Nergris: Just A Kitten To The Junta

2008-05-09T20:48:00.001+10:00

The junta is slow to let aids workers in, as it wants to keep the referendum out of sight of the world, particularly before the referendum is held. The storm has given the junta a dilemma: to save the people or to save the referendum. The best solution seems to postpone it - the way the junta did with the national convention - before the world has to become louder. Thanks to the French UN envoy

Mangrove loss 'put Burma at risk'

2008-05-08T15:36:00.002+10:00

By Mark Kinver Science and nature reporter, BBC News Destruction of mangrove forests in Burma left coastal areas exposed to the devastating force of the weekend's cyclone, a top politician suggests. ASEAN secretary-general Surin Pitsuwan said coastal developments had resulted in mangroves, which act as a natural defence against storms, being lost. At least 22,000 people have died in the disaster,

Boycotting Olympics They Claimed. But It’s Not True!

2008-05-01T16:53:00.001+10:00

Actually it’s not against Olympics. Clearly it’s an effort seeking Olympics to consider to boycott China. Even though it’s about sports, harmony and unity, everyone knows that China doesn’t attempt Olympics this way. The way it sees Olympics in its capital is its modern glory, successes, developments and influence. The way China handles Olympics torch relays is exactly talking for itself. Many

Please Vote ‘NO’

2008-03-26T00:20:00.000+11:00

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,

Taiwan, China & Australia

Well, if China and Taiwan ever to unify again, I’d rather accept the Taiwanese government as the legitimate government and the communists as rebels. Whether Taiwan wants independence, its government is democratic and elected by the people and this can be applied to the mainland Chinese too even though they cannot vote. Perhaps the Taiwanese ought to welcome them to opinion polls and this will
