I believe there are millions of Kyi Win in Burma. Story of individual will be different, but suffering is exactly the same. But, what should we focus on when we hear this kind of history? My personal focus is to build our country to become just society. Justice is not just the interest of a small group of people, but justice as reasons and fairness regardless of social class, ethnic and culture differences and what ever profession one might do for a living. In any good society, there are 3 things that everyone respect, which is "LIFE, LIBERTY and HAPPINESS". From that 3, even one is lacking, life is not full meaning. What if some part of all 3 titles are missing? I believe, there will end up like Ko Kyi Win. Policy making is the vital part of a country. A good law is born from good policy making. To pass a good law, there must be good constitution. Does 2008 constitution stand up for the test of changing Burmese society?

"This is the life he, his wife and children are left with after sacrificing so much for Burma and its people"
I really sympathize with the family, but to be honest and fair he is not the first and hasn't seen the worst yet. My family and I spent more than 25 years, enduring hardship, discrimination,violent threats, camp destruction, and in the end what did we get? My family hasn't sacrificed anything for Burma, or have any political belief or affiliation, but we have had our home, village, and little things we have burned down and pillaged. I believe that most people in Burma are refugees in one way or another due to the regime policy, but i just can't stand the fact that some people claim to sacrifice more than others for the country and think they deserve better rewards.

So what is Kyi Win going to do now?
Fade into obscurity in an alien land with his family after giving so much for his country and people?
If he says yes I accept his point.
In case he says he still has ambitions for Burma's freedom and democracy I would certainly doubt that.
Kyi Win has left his country with his family for greener pastures and easier life no doubt.Good for him and his family.
But what about Daw Suu, Min Ko Naing and his colleagues and U Win Tin and U Tin Oo as well to mention a few still struggling for their country and people until today?
Only they and their kind hold the key for the country's freedom and future.
Nobody living in alien lands could do anything substantial for Burma and her people trust me.
Leaving Burma specifically at this juncture and time also would only amount to abandoning the people and native land.
Surrendering after sacrificing so much and quitting also is in sync and character of LOSERS only lest Kyi Win fails to grasp the idea as yet.
