Dear MHK,

Nice to hear from you and glad to know you are well.

Talking is always nice, and it is nice to talk. Discussions are necessary , debates are desirable. That what we Myanmars are lack of. I wish them to know. I want them to know how important they are how essential they are, to tal. to discuss or to debate. If only they know that , They can do a lot of good things for the country and the people they said they care. If only they knew the value of these they will have respect to one another and they won’t be looking at each bizarrely. They can share and do alot of things together.

In that sense , we Myanmar have a long way to go. But we cannot stop. What we are discussing is not directly talking to them, but by reading they can pick up a thing or two from these discussions and make good use for them. A jar of honey is made out of drops of honey MHK.

Every one is not the same. They are different, they have to be different. This is the nature, we must accept it. What is not clear, can be explained later, we need to talk.

In this case of Myanmar or any other nation, there will always be “ undecided “ those who cannot make up their minds or Don‘t Knows“ “ It is always better to be undecided or don‘t knows than making a mistakes. Which we all have to regret later. Myanmar is not the only country. To avoid these “ undecided “ and “ don’t knows”.

I am suggesting to digest the issue (Constitution) so that to be able to make up their minds. Because It is our rights to vote , it is the human right that we are fighting for. And when this right is actually given to us willingly or not, we don’t want to exercise that right to vote, we want to exercise to make a choice as a right not to vote. Then what are we fighting for? That in my view is not fair to ourselves. Not fair to others as well. Because one vote of yours or mine will decide the future of Myanmar and its people. If we don’t vote, you and I will be accused for not being fair on others 52 million of them or on Myanmar.

If you don’t mind, I would like to correct the following sentence of yours , “ For me under the present situation our country need the good politicians who place their interests before all, such as their personal interests, preference in group or party and personality etc..”

“Our country needs the good politicians “ , that is clear enough. But “ who place their interest before all“ My understanding is not very good to that paragraph. If you care to explain I would be grateful. But it doesn’t matter , it must be a simple mistake . Because I think there may be some words missing in the sentence. Should it be “ who not place or who does not place - - - ” With those missing words, the paragraph is more meaningful. I will understand more.

Well, MHK, what can we say. The names you mentioned, they may have had their own experience along their long journeys, we don’t know. Through their experience, they may be talking . Another thing is where they are at the moment. Their environment plays a very good part, it can influence them. If they cannot change their environment, I am sure their environment will change them. We have to know that and give than that respect and that credit.

But also to let them realise that we are in different time now. Things are changing not as much as the way we like to, but they are changing for sure. It is our duty to make it for the better , not for the worse, one inch by one inch, don’t you think? We need to change with the time.

Myanmars saying is “ Tanay Talan BaGan Be Ywe. ” take a step by step, Bagan will stillbe there and you will be there. Universal equivalence to that saying is " Roam was not built in a day “ is that right? It took over two hundred years for the US to be like this, still need to do many more as times changes.

MHK, you and I and some of us Myanmars who are abroad in the developed world . I don’t think any of us will go back and live in Myanmar for good, till we die. Lets be honest about it. But we have Myanmar in our mind every second of the minutes. As we are living we are experiencing bad things as well as good things , negative and positive things.

Who know more about Myanmars than any oyther people , because we are Myanmars. If only we can share these good and bad experience, these positives and negative things without elaborating or exaggeration, back to our people of Myanmar as they are, Myanmars can and will adjust themselves , that much they are smart MHK, believe it without any doubt.

But as you already know, Myanmars are conditioned to do everything slow. Simple things difficult and difficult impossible. That is where and when some people got frustrated. Any leader, may it be Ma Su Kyi herself cannot push the people of Myanmar in a hurry. I said it many times. She is too fast, people cannot follow her with the speed she would like. Why do you think Myanmar is left behind? Among things, no leaders of Myanmar could take the people with them as fast as they wanted to. You cannot put all the blames on the leaders alone. For Myanmar every time is important, every hour every minutes and every second.

Well, MHK I have spoken to Ma Su Kyi before she was detained. I asked her what her plans are for the future. She said she could not tell me, because that will be telling. What so secret about nation’s affairs. What so secret about the people’s affairs. She was so secretive, was she planning to invite foreign powers to invade Myanmar ? May be had no pear MHK,

Well, MHK I have spoken to Ma Su Kyi before she was detained. I asked her what her plans are for the future. She said she could not tell me, because that will be telling. What so secret about nation’s affairs. What so secret about the people’s affairs. She was so secretive, was she planning to invite foreign powers to invade Myanmar ? May be had no p[lans at all. Now I understand her, because in recent days since last year yellow uprising her followers are openly calling for US invasion. If you are disappointed with Ma Su Kyi, I am not surprise.

Since the day of Col. Than Htun as the liaison officer, there were many chances and many opportunities for her to talk to leaders of SPDC. If only she was a clever person, a sensible person, a responsible person. she would be helping the country she loves, the people she loves and those who adores her. But she blown it all.

“ Co operation “ is the word she used when Mr Gambari met her, I doubt she knows the meaning of it. I have a great doubt she knows the meaning of democracy or human rights at all. She still thinks she is getting upper hands. She does not realises that public opinion are changing against her.

Myanmar sayings is “ Aout Ka Le Nay - Hardee Le Ma Shaw.” In the last part of Buddha’s story , Day Wadutt who was the teacher of King Azardathut, who tortured and imprisoned his own father and killed him in the end because the King was very slow to die. When Day Wadutt realised how wrong he was at the last minute yet he could not ask a pardon from Buddha let alone to get HIS blessings. Day Wadutt one his way to see Buddha died only a few feet away from Buddha where he was sitting.

Whatever SPDC does. There will be people who are not happy and who are not satisfied. Because there will always something missing. Under NLD it will be the same. Nobody is perfect, this is not a perfect world.We have to be happy with what we have, we have to be happier when we have what we have had before.

I will say it again aloud. Whatever SPDC have done for Myanmar and the people during these awful years. Whatever they have achieved , they should take pride, we have to be proud of them. Especially in the midst of economic sanctions and all the difficulties, SPDC has done great job., the best they could. Because I have seen Myanmar how it was before SPDC. If only SPDC was understood and were treated fairly, Myanmar would be greater than now. Myanmars will be happier than now.

“ Myanmar is in the hands of the people of Myanmar “ that is what everybody is saying. If Myanmars know the meaning of it. I trust they know what to do.
Myanmar have to do it THEMSELVES that was the message. Whether Myanmars get that message or not, is another matter. Myanmar in the hands of Myanmar with the socialism people were not happy, they were not satisfied. Because they did not know whow the socialism was.

Today in free market, Myanmars are still moaning and groaning for higher prices. They don'y kmnow why, they don't look around what is happenning in the world.

The aiming object of the opposition is to get power. They are power crazy. They don’t care who has done what for the country, for the people. According to Ma Su Kyi , This SPDC or Tatmadaw is the enemy of the people common enemy, should be treated as such. You can go back to her past speeches. SPDC must be annihilated. That is dangerous.

For argument sake, if NLD does not destruct what the SPDC has constructed, Myanmars will be lucky. Otherwise they have to restart again from the sketches. That is what we did in 1948 we started from sketches and whetever we constructed were destructed by the Communists and Kayin National Defence Organization and other multi colour insurgencies which followed later.

This New Constitution is the best I have seen in my life. When times comes there may be better one than this. As I have said. it is something to start with. So lets get on with it.

To conclude, I have to come back and say, NLD or Ma Su Kyi should not deny the human rights of Myanmar human beings by saying not to vote or to boycott it. NLD and Ma Su Kyi had in their own ways already denied human rights of the Myanmar people by calling economic sanctions.

Myanmars also should exercise their rights to vote. Voting is their right. They should not deny themselves their rights because of what Ma Su Kyi said, because of what NLD said . Myanmars are smart people, they should not let anybody undermine them, they should not let anybody manipulate them.

International Community must be fair towards Myanmar’s SPDC. Give the credit where its due. They have been bashing SPDC for years, didn’t they ? If there are punitive actions, there must be rewards as well.

S.A.T leader Brig, Gen Kyaw Hsan was honest and sincere, direct, frank, opened. That’s the way I saw him. What he pointed out about UN and Mr Gambari was very direct and true. You can not say he was wrong.

Mr Gambari as a person, as an special envoy of Mr Ben Ki Moon should be honest , sincere, , direct, frank and open as well . Former UNSG Mr Koffi Annan had done a good job in Kenya. He was the man who said the war on Iraq was illegal. For saying that he knew he has to go. He went. He should carry the name Special Envoy with pride and honour. Brig. Gen. Kyaw Hsan was helping Mr Gambari to shine, you can look it that way. If Mr. Gambari has no potential to shing , ther is nothing anybody can do.

If only we have the honest and sincere people in the League of Nations such as Koffi Annan and weapon inspector Hans Blix. I am sure we will have more peace and stability, progress and prosperity in the world where Myanmar is a part of it.

Regards.
