My dewar UKM,

I think I had the shortest reply to you yesterday on “Yey Gnon ( Nhote Pate )“ Hllutaw “ and “ parliamentary immunity “ It is very hard for me to say. Do you know there are losts of people who do not understand what a " Hllutaw " is They only understand the word " Parliament ".House of Representatives or House of the Nationalities."

This is where the people must have full knowledge of how the system works. The understanding of the freedom. A little bit of knowledge of some people in this forum including you and I of that is never enough but the whole populace of Myanmar should and must have it. It should be start from kinder gardens. Is that too much ?

I am not happy with my people, I am frustrated UKM because of their lack of education or knowledge. Even some of those lucky ones who are living abroad. They have all the chances all the opportunities to educated themselves and still they are wasting time. Most of them have only one reason to come abroad. That reason you know very well.

What about the Myanmars inside the country. For most of them education is a waste of time rather than essential commodity. As much as they can reading, write and calculate some sums, they think that’s all the need. The rest they don’t want to know they don’t bother. In my view that is ignorant, pure ignorant UKM.

Education is free in Myanmar, it was free in Phongyi Kyaung as well. Because it is free, the people don’t think too much of it, they do not know the value of it. They don’t know the worthiness of it.

I don’t blame them. When we were young we must be the same. Our parents must be the same. It would be fair for me to say that we all are the same “ Pe Bote from the same basket”. But some of us have realised the time has changed, may be some of us have open our eyes and ears. We realised that this is a wider world, there are other planets, and the universe ( Setkyar Walar) .

Myanmars have been told through Buddhism, there are ten thousand universes. “Setkyar Walar Teik Ta Thoung” . Myanmars know that these universe are out of their reach , they are happy in their own little world they don’t want to know about the wider. Why? Because there are many problems in their own little world, so there must be more problems in the wider world. They are afraid to explore , they are afraid to face it, simply because they know nothing or they are ignorant.

The ignorant are easy to lead, through fear. They are “ Nar Youg Lwe De ”. and “ “ Be Thu Pyaw Pyaw - Hote Kno Kno “ Especially they like to hear what they want to hear.

That is about my people Myanmars in my country Union of Myanmar.

So some of them may be elected to the parliament (Hllutaw) as Mps , but Myanmars are Myanmars and when some body fire the first shot in the Hllutaw other Mps “ Nhote Pate Yay Ngon” gone quiet. They don’t know how to speak, how to talk how to debate how to argue , simply because they have nothing in their heads. They have no ideas they have no visions. They even don’t dream UKM they are afraid to dream.

“ Yes sir , Yes sir ”, will make their “ three bags full.” That is another kind or corruption, in my view. Do you think this will change, if the people don’t change?

Even in this forum , there are not too many people taken part in discussion. They are just bystanders, just watching. They don't have to " Ushin Gyi Tin de " for " Andaye Kin ".There are more people watching than anticipating.

One thing led to another. To educate people , we need facilities, resources, Can we afford them. Let me bring Buddha into this, because most Myanmars are Buddhists.

Whenever Buddha gave a sermon, he had his reason out of thousands of audience or devotees he meant for just one person to get the “ Akyut Tayar ”. Others became only “Thawta Ban or “ Anar Gan ” For 45 years He taught he could not make every one to get the “ Akyut Atyar “ or Thawta Ban or Anar Gan “ then He died.

There are 52 millions of them in Myanmar. How many of them with learning difficulties, blindness, deafness and dumbness you don’t know. But somebody has to try , he may not be the Buddha but he must try and educated them first to be able to understand what he was about to say about to do. That will be hell of a job UKM, hell of a job. Educating people is harder than building a bridge across the ocean.

How will we educate them especially to those who do not want to learn. Persuasion UKM persuasion. You realise that this world is a material world now not because of what Medonna said it a reality. What was it said? This a material world so she is a material girl.

For some sitting in a class room for at least 6 hours a day is too much reading writing calculating sums. Theories after theories. No practical works or not enough practical works, no work experiences at all.

Well it all comes down to what the country can afford isn’t it? From where will the money come to facilitate these? It will depend on the country’s economy. And the development and progress of the private sectors.

What is the state of the country’s economy of Myanmar? What are the private sectors doing? How many world standard economist are there in Myanmar? The progress and the developments of a nation does not solely depends on a Government. This is the responsibility of all people in the nation from all walks of life.

In the human anatomy all parts of your body must function accordingly Other wise your body is in trouble and you are in trouble, some times death. Is it not true UKM?.

That is an education which must go into the head of the Myanmars through their thick skull. Who will do it , how we will do it.?

To have a rapid change for now it may need a little bit of drastic measure, revolution?. If it is for the future , continuity and changes go together, evolution you may say. The sticking point is if you have revolution there must be better leaders and better system and the better people ready and prepared to replace the old one.

In Myanmar, changes have taken place through revolution and through continuity and changes. These changes are at the top only not at the bottom ,I mean not at the root. The same root will have the same result. Multi party democracy and semi-socialist economy , RC, BSPP and Socialist Democracy. Now what? I don’t know.

What I know is most economy is in the hands of the private hands . May be in hands of the generals, may be in the hands of their relatives, may be in the hands of their cronies. I cannot say anything for sure. What I can say for sure is economy insurgencies is rising up.

The question is if the economy is in the hands of the generals who believe in socialism ,
would they put the prices so high? Or the private sector having free hands, in the name of free trade doping what they want, putting the prices up as much as they want everyday? Economy is the life line to everything, education, health, housing etc., etc. in Myanmar. The unofficial exchange rate, who are fixing these rates?

Why is there economic sanctions on Myanmar to choke Myanmar to squeeze SPDC ?

Two days ago United States took further actions against Myanmar , But United States of America dares not take action or economic sanction against China or Russia or Australia or any other countries for trading with Myanmar.

Educating the people we can start from kindergarten. Yet we need all our supposed to leaders agree on a certain methods. This it self is a great task don’t you think? Forget about the 52 millions, a few handful of our leaders cannot agree on a little thing at the moment. Do they really have their interest in the nation their interest in the people? That is the question.

United States of America, do they have insurgencies like we have in Myanmar ? The native American who once belonged to Sioux Nation, why are they not fighting for their rights? After all America belonged to them that is their property. Just because they did not put it on the paper and registered it as their own, they lost every thing to the white men.

There are many things I do not accept, let alone to agree with US . No matter what, Americans are American citizens, they are one people in one nation. That is the best part I like. That is what we Myanmar should look into. We need peace in Myanmar. Everybody must know that., everybody . We need peace through negotiations or annihilation which ever way it would bring.

What about United Kingdome and Northern Ireland. What about in European countries, do they have insurgencies like we have in Myanmar ?

In Myanmar today, there are not only armed insurgencies but also economic insurgency which are given a lot of troubles to the people and to the nation of Myanmars. We call them “ Taw Kyaung “ wild cats. Do the people know that or they leave it to the government to tackle them?

What kind of support or what kind of assistance the people give to the government to tackle them, in the past when Myanmars was a democratic nation with democratically elected government or at present? None . But they expect too bloody much from the government.

The people must be educated enough to know these things UKM, the education of rocket science and space technology can wait for the moment . In a figure of speech. for Myanmars , they don’t need to know rocket science or space technology, because when they sit down and meditate , they can travel around all the universe within minutes. Don’t you believe it? Believe me UKM , Myanmars are already enlightened people they don’t need to know anything anymore. There is nothing they don’t know.

In future Democratic Myanmar we need educated people , intellectuals. If we don’t have enough of them we will be in the same shit hole again. Believe me.

I am sorry UKM.

It is a pleasure to talk to someone who can understand what one is talking about about. As I have stated many timesbefore. Disagreement is no reason nor an excuse to become enemies. There are no enemies in politic UKM.

By the way this forum is much cleaner than before , much educational than before. That is an improvement that is a kind of progress.
