I have lived for some time in Myanmar four years ago. At that time there was no internet. People had to take an email id by paying money. Hotmail/Gmail/Yahoo does not open. There was no browsing. Only sending email from some existing account holder by paying him the charges like public telephone. I am happy to note that Hotemail / Gmail and others are now available. Mr Srinivasan says that internet is available. Internet is the tool for the growth of this century. So, how do the West say Myanmar is not developing?
Burmese are very soft, honest people. The administration is so good that you can carry any amount of cash anywhere in the mid of night and no one will bother you. People are helpful. I remember of having gone to Myanmar Industrial and Commercial Bank for an enquiry and the management was so helpful even though they spoke broken english.
The US wants their puppet regime everywhere. In the guise of FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY how many thousands of Iraqis have been killed? DO they have freedom now? They were more happy during the Saddam regime than the one they have now.
For heavn sake let that situation not occur any country again. Myanmar is a place which attracts many countries in the West for its untapped energy, gems and fertile land.
Let God give sense to the Burmese who feels that the West will give them everything. Let those people see how Iraqis who wished the same are sufferring now.
