Poor ministers and shameless tactic.

Why they keep their ministries positions, when they registered their political party. Are they interim government? Only the interim government can hold their ministries positions during the election period.

More shameless people are Dr Than Nyein and ex-NLD group, who form the political party to participate in 2010 elections. In Burmese proverb, "Sin Lee Kway Mhyaw" is suite for Dr Than Nyein and group.

Tatmadaw, in Burmese, means “military.” WRONG! It means Royal Army or Royal Main Fighting Force. Here is the contradiction. If it was really a tatmataw (pronounced tatmadaw)the claimant to the throne (CTT) would never allow it to kill his people.
What does 'Wungyi' mean in Burmese? It means big or great bear of burden/duty ( of the CTT).The duty or responsibility is to translate the policies of the CTT's Council into action programmes and see through them.
A people who lose sight of their history become treasonous and slavelike; a condition exploited by the likes of Fargaung ShuMaung in the name of socialism; in reality, though, to line his own pocket and that of his daughter and bankrupt Burma.

Wake up Myanmar patriots. Look back at our history to rebuild our once great kingdom. We can do it!
Think clearly. Make sure those who have the knowledge and skills have the power to put them to good use.
Burma has a very very long wayto go. Take the blinkers off your face!

Yeah, right. A quick change act like Clark Kent turning into Superman they fancy themselves.

When Ne Win hastily formed a political party after seizing power, a classic horse before the cart, he ordered his minions to borrow books on socialism from the library and then commisioned ex-communists to come up with a manifesto.

At least these guys have a ready made organization at their service. That's how well they've learnt their lessons although they in turn of course are just obeying orders as soldiers from their supreme commander Than Shwe.

I can see a change in Burma. Prossibly a good sign. There is always a silver lining in a cloud. If we all, along with the international community, come to support the upcoming election as an opportunity, a new sunshine can shed upon Burma. Something is better than nothing.

In the hot climate of Burma, their uniforms bring more hell to the soldiers. While the officers are living elite lifestyle, the low ranking soldiers(90%) live sub-standard. Military's unwise economic policy brings severe poverty to the people, those extremely poor people join military for survival. This makes the circle of problem endless. It goes round and round and round.

Than Shwe's rule nor Thein Sein's rule many not qualify to be called as "The government of the Union of Burma. The government of the Union of Burma is supposed to represent the Union. I see nothing which connects Than Shwe and the Union. Dictators or cheaters will never represent our Union.

Thein Sein is Prime Minister of union of Burma. Election is over in Burma now. We got very nice civilian government led by President Ne Win a few years back. Very nice to remember that he ordered army to shoot the civilian directly. Premier Thein Sein will be the same nice leader.
