US Plane has landed, but Burmese Generals shamelessly exploiting the Cyclone tragedy

This blogger tried to check Myanmar Government Official Website (www.myanmar.gov.mm)

to see what Myanmar Government has to say about the recent Cyclone Tragedy, but nothing was there, nothing at all about Catastrophic Disaster in Myanmar!

Again he tried to read the on line Myanmar News paper, New light of Myanmar, which automatically directed to www.myanmar.com, however newspaper updates were abruptly stopped on 2nd may, (this web page is believed to be from US, mirror site for Myanmar Generals.)It seems that the web master has no important news after 2nd of May! Only Image of Than Shwe welcoming Thein Sein back home from a trip to Thailand.

Finally this blogger tried MRTV3 homepage, from Nay Pyi Taw, the Jungle capital of Myanmar. After waiting for 35 minutes, this blogger was able to read the following news from today New Light Of Myanmar Newspaper !.

The above news in Burmese language said PM Gen Thein Sein Inspecting the transfer of International aids to boats at a Jetty in Rangoon. Recent local news said Thein Sein was even shown in TV footage carrying donated aids boxes to army helicopters by himself. Is that a Job of Prime Minister in National Emergency?

When this blogger was in Burma as a child, this job of checking workers carrying cargo to boats along Irrawaddy river was done by the clerks of river boats.

(သေဘၤာစာေရးတေဃာက္ထဲ နဲ႔ႁပီးပါတယ္။)

Burmese Generals were even not fulfilled their duty as soldiers, that they were trained for, in recent Cyclone Disaster. Useless in pre-, during, and post- disaster management, poor logistic, and infrastructure of Burmese Army was obvious to the whole world as there were no soldiers to be seen immediately after Cyclone.

There were no heavy machinery like cranes, bulldozers from army engineering units during Rangoon cleaning. Air Force and navy transport capability was ridiculous for the army boasted with 400,000 soldiers.

However, the Generals seems to know , how to put their name over international aids consignments. While blocking international aids, that cause the long Que of air crafts and ships from donor countries waiting in neighbouring countries, the Generals were shamelessly exploiting the goodwill of civilized people of all over the world towards Burmese Cyclone victim.

This blogger’s last question is ‘ where is junta supremo Sr Gen Than Shwe of Burma ?
