If positive attitude and honesty are shown, …

Chan Mya Aye

These days, local political groups and foreign media are found hand in
glove making various comments on the open letter Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
has delivered to the Head of State. In particular, very repeatedly,
they are suggesting that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s offer be honoured, and
criticizing that it was not proper the offer had not been responded
yet.

Apparently, they are putting pressure on our country to shape itself
into one to the liking of the West Bloc, by chopping and changing
about the case.

In reality, they are able to broadcast news stories about the case
irresponsibly due to the internal traitors that are stirring up
problems.

Foreign radio stations can take full advantage of and overstate the
cases provoked by internal antigovernment groups.

It is common knowledge that NLD’s special announcement 6/09/09 and Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi’s open letter to the Head of State came out on 28
September 2009. In the letter, she said that she wanted to cooperate
with the government on lifting the sanctions against Myanmar.

A thorough review shows that it was she and the party that called for
international sanctions against Myanmar. And she has never stated any
hints of changing her mind regarding her policy about the sanctions.
But only when the US announced to introduce the policy of sanctions
plus direct relations with Myanmar, would she offer to work together
with the government to lift sanctions. Her offer does not conform to
what she did and said previously, and is highly questionable. Anyhow,
the government accepted her offers with benevolence. It is global
knowledge that after the two meetings between U Aung Kyi and Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi, the government fulfilled her wishes of meeting three
foreign envoys from the West Bloc, and NLD CEC.

Then, she delivered the second letter dated 11 November to the Head of
State. In the letter, she said she wanted to cooperate with the
government in nation-building tasks and to meet ailing NLD CEC members
to pay respects to them, to meet other NLD CEC members, and also with
the Head of State.

Nowadays, the government is stepping up cooperation with local
political forces, and trying to improve ties with the US. It implies
that the government has showed its positive attitude in this context.
If the other side shows true positive attitude in response, positive
results can be visualized.

However, the behaviours and acts of Daw Aung Suu Kyi and followers are
somewhat doubtful.

The two letters reflect her dishonesty. She should have approached the
government in an honest way in order to work out the stalemate. In
practice, I feel that her letters suggest her dishonesty, and are
designed to tarnish the image of the ruling government, putting all
the blame on the government.

If NLD and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi really want to work together with the
government in the national interest, they can deliver letters directly
to the Head of State. They sent letters by post, but the news about
the letters had received media coverage, from the Internet down to the
radio stations before the letters were received by the person
concerned.

In the first time, NLD issued an announcement with the letter as part
of it, before the letter was received by the Head of State, thus
prompting widespread statements of the news by the media. In other
words, the person concerned received the letter only after a wide
variety of suggestions had been made through the media to fuel the
case. Here, the government was like the parents of naughty children. I
am confident that the government sad due to the fact that it was
inconsiderate of its children to show complete disregard for its
benevolent attitude towards them. However, the government showed its
magnanimity by complying with their wishes.

Surely, if they had realized and recognized the government’s
fulfillment of their wishes, they would have mended their ways.
Instead, they went further in the second letter. It was said that they
had secretly informed the media about the letter in advance through
NLD (Central) Work Youths Group. Then, they tried to hold the
government responsible for that as though the government had disclosed
the case. In the end, they admitted that the persons who were held
responsible were those among the members of NLD.

In the meantime, various media are shouting that it should be done
this or that way, it has not been accepted yet, there has been no
reply regarding this. It is quite obvious that it was all a ploy to
attract the attention of the media by spreading the issue among them.
Frankly speaking, I think it was an attempt to put pressure on the
ruling government through the media as a way of saying that “We, on
our part, have made an offer and the government is to see to the
remaining part.”

All will remember that this is not the first time and it has been done
before. Even before the two sides could not make any compromise during
the meetings between Minister U Aung Kyi and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the
latter issued a unilateral announcement dated 8-11-2007 in Singapore
via Mr Gambari. Actually, a clandestine plan was made to issue the
announcement by taking advantage of the meeting between Mr Gambari and
Daw Suu Kyi arranged by the government during his visit to Myanmar. I
still remember that the situation got unnecessarily confused as the
media was used as a tool by taking advantage of the government’s kind
approval.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself should have understood that the
announcement was to be issued in the media only after reaching
agreement between the two sides until the discussion period was over.
She might as well have understood that. This time, she has employed
the same way again in complicity with the outside anti-government
media. This is the insincere way of hers, I think.

No one can avoid mistakes. Nobody is perfect. One may make a mistake
sometimes and one should not be blamed for making a single mistake.
Usually, we say ‘forgive and forget’ when a person makes a single
mistake. But when a person makes the same mistake two or three times,
we will have to assume that he is doing the mistake on purpose with
insincere intention.

It has been three times since Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and NLD used the
media as a tool in an insincere way. Their act was not sincere at all.
They made the ploy intentionally. It should be taken into
consideration that the attempt of one side to force the other into a
corner by making dishonest use of the media might delay the other's
response. If one looks at the event superficially,
it can be said that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's offer might be positive.
However, making dishonest use of the media like this could make the
other side's direction change. It could also make it hard for the
other side to respond positively. Anyway, it is hoped that the
government, like parents, will be generous enough to do what should be
done.

It was a matter that should have been discussed first between the two
sides. But one side made a pre-emptive attempt by disclosing it to the
media untimely. Now, the foreign media's untruthful and fruitless
broadcast could prevent the other side's step forward and make it
withdraw the hand it is going to extend. It should have been taken
into serious consideration. Opposition groups at home are now trying
to avoid embarrassment about their wrong strategy and tactics by
making use of the letters like this. And at the same time, they are
trying to put the blame on the government with the use of foreign
media. It is something that should not be done.

To cut a long story short, it is acceptable that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
sent a letter to the Head of State. However, they should not have
passed the buck to the government after disclosing the letter to the
media with an ulterior motive. If they are really in favour of the
interests of the nation and the people and if they are honest and have
good intentions, it is the best way for them to put forward their
stand frankly and make an honest approach to the government.

Dear all,

The following is the news reported by Aung Hla Tun for Reuters News
Agency .

Myanmar junta calls detained Suu Kyi "dishonest"
1 hour 20 mins ago
Aung Hla Tun

Myanmar's detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been
insincere and dishonest in her offer to meet the country's military
ruler and push for the lifting of Western sanctions, state media said
on Wednesday

Suu Kyi, who is held under house arrest, had tried to harm the
government's image and her behaviour had been "highly questionable,"
said a commentary carried in three state-run newspapers, which serve
as mouthpieces for the reclusive regime.

The 64-year-old Nobel peace laureate asked to meet junta leader Senior
General Than Shwe in a letter dated November 11, saying she wanted to
work with his government in the interests of the country.

In a similar letter on September 25 she stated her desire to work with
Western countries and the junta to bring about the lifting of
sanctions, which critics say have been largely ineffective because of
the regime's trade with China and India.

"Her letters suggest her dishonesty, and are designed to tarnish the


image of the ruling government, putting all the blame on the

government," said a commentary in the New Light of Myanmar.

This was the first response by the regime to Suu Kyi's requests and
appeared to criticise the National League for Democracy (NLD) party
leader for leaking one of the letters to the media.

"The two letters reflect her dishonesty. She should have approached

the government in an honest way in order to work out the stalemate,"
it said.

Myanmar's military, which has ruled the country for almost 50 years
and is shunned by the West because of its rights record, plans to hold
multi-party elections in 2010 [ID:nBKK532864]).

In the last letter, Suu Kyi expressed thanks to the regime for
allowing her to meet U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell,
the highest-ranking U.S. diplomat to visit Myanmar in 14 years, in
November.

Despite the criticism, on Wednesday Suu Kyi was allowed to meet a
government minister assigned as a go-between for the regime,
suggesting lines of communication were still open.

A Home Ministry official said she held talks for 50 minutes at a state
guesthouse in Yangon with Labour Minister Aung Kyi, whom she has met
twice since late September.
It is unlikely Suu Kyi will get to meet Than Shwe. The 76-year-old
strongman has been head of the junta for 17 years and plans to retire
after the elections, but only, analysts say, after he has installed a
favourable replacement.

Suu Kyi, the daughter of late independence hero Aung San, is seen as
the biggest threat to the junta's grip on power and has been under
detention of some form for 14 of the past 20 years.

She is appealing against a conviction for breaching an internal
security law by allowing an American intruder to stay for two nights
at her lakeside home.

The verdict was widely seen as an attempt to keep her sidelined in the
run-up to the former Burma's first election in two decades. The NLD
scored a landslide victory in the 1990 election that the military
refused to recognise.//

End of the news.

that's why direct confrontation is the only means to choose again.
Another era of confrontation is started by Myanmar Facist Army. We
have no other choice . Reason to Reason, Arms to Arms. Than Shwe's
stupidity will cause many hardships and bloodsheding again in Burma

Kyaukse Town Folks teach your fellow town man Than Shwe.
