Halo Dear Polaris,

Thanks to MHK, for introducing you to us.

Now you have mentioned it your journey to England and your experience . I have to tell you a few about my self. Though I do not like to talk about personality only the performance , here I am engaged in talking about somebody’s personnel matters. I promise I won’t say more then necessary. Some of the point about Ma Su Kyi I have mentioned in this forum the old one. I don’t w ant to reap then again.

I am a travelling man. I have been to many parts of the world Red, Blue and Yellow countries. In the East, in the west in the middle. Some of those who were with me are still living in Myanmar and in other parts of the world as well.

I been in and out of England many times I have met many dignitaries , politicians, diplomats, their children including our Bogyokes ( plural) children. Grand children etc.

My interest is politics, current affairs. Not to become a politician , I am not that type and though I am interest in politic, I have no ambition to become one. I may have no Parami to become one or because of my conscience..

When I had the opportunity to socially meetings of the Myanmar. The gathering of our people including Holy places such as Phone Gyi Kyaungs, I met other Bogyokes’ children, but sad to say Ma Su Kyi was not among them. But I had my chances to speak to her not less than three times on other occasions , she showed no sign that she has any interests in Myanmar Politic.

I simply believe, it was because Ma Su Kyi was a family house wife . She just doesn’t want to get involved in the Myanmar politic. She had no reason. She was one of the privileges among two societies, because of her father Bogyoke on one side from Myanmar and Gore Booth , Moreland ex British Ambassadors to Myanmar who were her guardian angles from British Foreign and Commonwealth and who were her mentors and many from British Burma society on the other side including Friends of the Burma’s Hill Peoples.
Besides she is not an activist of any kind let alone in Myanmar politic .

I even thought simple of may because she knows that she has no place in Myanmar politic because she happened to be married to an Englishman . Her father who drafted the first constitution prohibited such people like her to be in the politic of Myanmar. I even though Bogyoke could not mean it for her, Was he the seer, who sees the future? Before he died Bogyoke saw many thing what could happened to Myanmar . He warned the people. Ma Su Kyi was two years old when he had to die.

Any way . She showed no interest in Myanmar politic. When asked she said something like , I don’t want to know about it . I don’t want to know about Myanmars either, I am afraid to know she said. A few Myanmar who resides in Oxford, are the same.

The sole agent for Fokker Friendship planes for Myanmar who lived and died in Oxford U Myat Saw was the same. They don’t wan to know Myanmar they do want to know about Myanmars. In their own words “ Bamar Myar Daw - Kyaut Par Ye ”

And then after 1988 I spoke to Ma Su Kyi again. NLD was not formed yet. asked She talked about detainments, arrests, the treatment of SLORC to the public. etc.
Again by accident I was at the NLD head quarter speaking to U Tin Oo. He introduce me to her, she said she knows me. There and then we went into conversation for about twenty minutes. Only thing talk about was about the SLORC. And U Ne Win. I never knew she was so active and so aggressive. Needless to say the feeder was U Tin Oo. She said nothing about the fure programme about her party. She said what you and I are already familiar , freedom of this and that etc. To get rid of military rulers. When Ma Su Kyi she did not spit out her programme , I found it hard to join her, I sensed that she doesn’t trust me. If we cannot trust each other it is of no use to work together. Suspicions will always be there . I simply though she was a clever woman , not to let others know before time. I gave her that credit and watch her movements I don‘t think too much of her, not like other Myanmars. Mauy be because I lived in England for so long .

I talked to U Nu and others as well Now they are gone no need to repeat what they said. But one thing though Ma Su Kyi had no respect for U Nu. The old man protected her the way he knew how. An as an experienced politician , he could not simply work with Ma SU Kyi. Ko Aung Gyi could not work with her either. Not to mentioned about many other young and old who left her and NLD. It had nothing to do with pressures from SLORC ?SPDC. It has many things to do with Ma Su Kyi, attitude, and behaviours which are not the attitude and behaviours of a professional politician. She is not only an up start but she behave like a dictator from the start.

Myanmars need no more, want no more dictators , no more monarchs .

U Kyi Maung, U Maung Lwin, U Tin Oo. they have no where to go if they don‘t stick to Ma SU Kyi. They are afraid public reprisal if they desert Ma Su Kyi. They are using Ma Su Kyi as their shield to protect themselves from the populace. If the people abandon them. They had it.

Why people supported her in the beginning? Simply because they want a change , a change to be more comfortable in their life . They did not understand what BSPP was doing, BSPP did not explain to the people if they had, that was not enough. Public information are needed, You can’t give orders to the people, because they are not soldiers. If there is compulsory military service oin Myanmar it will be some thing. Phoung-Gyi Thindan .Wet-ti-gan Thindan are gone. Through News paper, TV, Magazine the needed information are given to the people better then before. But still need more to do. Myanmar used to have, government information Ministry going round the country given public information by means documentary film. Exhibition. Public servants and schools kids excursions Words and action, theories and practices . SPDC knew that, so SPDC is delivering by themselves to what the people needs .
As a matter of fact Myanmars are slow learners. they are not learning difficulties. SPDC may be having difficulties in teaching them due to many difficulties.

Myanmrs may be poor Myanmar is in poverty . That is their way of life. “ Bon Baw La Aeuw or Htamin Yey Puu Choung See “ That is why they are poor. They are extreme in that sense, they sacrifice their daily life for imaginative life of Nirvana. They want to go to Nirvana in a short cut. They do not know how to create natural resources rich Myanmar into a heaven on earth. They believe that making the Phonegyi rich, will ease their suffering, will take them to Nirvana.

They do not know what austerity means. They do not know the difference between and this austerity and poverty. Myanmar is not in poverty, yes Myanmars are poor compare to western standard, that is their own doing. Austerity may be an ugly word but this austerity will in time will create a heaven on earth in Myanmar, if only people understand and have patience. England itself issued ration books to its people under austerity scheme when needed.

English , Scottish and Welsh children had been down into the deep Coal mines and died there while working for pennies together with their adults parents, because they were poor. Let the Myanmars know.

It is nothing to do with Communism. It has nothing to do with socialism. It is against “ Bonebaw La Aeuw or Htamin Yey Puu Lar Chaung See” habit.

Lastly SPDC or not, Ma Su Kyi or not, Union of Myanmar is in the hands of the people of Myanmar. If there is are problems Myanmar have to solve them by themselves. All Myanmars have to adjust themselves, correct by themselves. If they don’t need any dictator, if they don’t want any dictator. They have to help themselves because there is nobody to help the, if there is, they will charge them they will take the fees for their services. All that Myanmars must know.

Myanmar have been under foreign rulers for over 100 years During I25 years they had two foreign powers. So if we are talkning aboy the experiences, ther is no people oin the world who have this king of experiece.

Present Myanmars must know about their own country, their history, their geography. Myanmar must know WHY any foreign powers want to dominate Myanmar, politically, economically and socially. Myanmars must have all the awareness.

Nice talking to you, the pleasure is mine,

Regards,

Thunderbolts.
