Meet Resistance Leader Dr. (medical doctor)Tayzar San

He's more than a "popular icon."
Sometimes Irrawaddy headlines do not give due credit--but seem to belittle-
Tayzar San is an unlikely leader, as Sean Turnell called himself an "unlikely prisoner."
The small, thin, brown little man with a big smile is clearly very smart. He has people skills.
As I see it, he's a composite of Aung San, ASSK and master strategist the late U Win Tin.
He's been traveling a lot.
He just staged a "Flashmob demonstration" right in the middle of Mandalay City, by the old palace wall and moat.
Think of that!
For those of you who don't know--"flashmob" is not an unruly mob at all. It just means impromptu performance or appearance--such as unadvertised classical music concerts at train stations etc.
We should do what Tayzar San asks of us--even if it's as "insignificant" as clicking a mouse.
Dr. Maung Zarni (Ph.D. Education) once held up a metal spoon--"This is how people get out of prison."
Off topic--I went to my first senior singalong--we sang Broadway hits. I requested Presley "Love me Tender" The lyrics were projected on a big screen.
There's one a month. Would be nice if there were some men, but most have died off. So our voices were high and somewhat weak, but we got stronger towards the end.
