Follow up comments on so-called reforms by Anonymous - from my Facebook page -


  • Dana Tusaw Obvious and agree one hundred percent.
  • Poe Lah Hsa I like your statement and it is true therefore I want to share it to my facebook friends...
  • Peter Popham Ok, so if they don't start by stabilising the currency, releasing political prisoners, removing intrusive surveillance, freeing up the media and opening the door to non-Chinese foreign investment that will bring jobs for educated and uneducated alike - where should they start? I'm dying to know!
  • Dana Tusaw Peter, a proper start would be to clean up the rotted foundation properly first before building new structures on top of it. Now we're about to compound old flaws with new ones in this crazy rush. This is not good for Burma. The government's actions so far, including the ones you mentioned, are gestures, let's realize, and ones which they can afford to manage or reverse if they wish at any time. It's not much of a concession or change.
  • Kyi May Kaung It's a good start - but needs A LOT of follow through - remember, I did not write the original comment, Anonymous did.
