Burma - so-called reforms - update by Anonymous

I like what you wrote and I totally agree that she should remove herself from politics before tarnishing herself. At present, it seems like Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been cleverly hoodwinked by foxes wearing sheepskins.  .  .  .  It is so clear that the reforms are good for the privileged people.  I can't even think about how the poor people are going to manage.  Everyone keeps saying that the democratic reforms are still young and we ought to be patient. Strangely, the reforms are moving pretty fast for the business people .  .  .  who are the cronies of the cronies of the cronies of the cronies of the ex-Generals. In short, corruption is now legally practiced.
