ARAKAN WOMEN KILLED BY BENGALI illegal immigrants

Yesterday, the innocent Arakan women are brutally killed by Bengali illegal immigrants gangs in Burma. They are doing so so as to get retaliation from Arakan of Burma since OIC, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, is eyeing on going to Arakan to support and arm Bengali illegal immigrants in Arakan. They are doing so because they see Bengali illegal immigrants’ settlements in Arakan as the FORTRESS for them from where they are planning to colonise the whole Burma as part of their long term strategy. ——– Can OIC take responsibilities on bengalis who committed killing, crimes almost everyday by killing one by one here and there in our country? Also one more thing, before OIC come and interfere our country problems, they need to look back to their own stages and violations of human rights within their own countries. If OIC really want to help sorting out the problems, we urge the OIC countries to allow them to resettle and help those who are in need. Our country alone is poor and not in a stage to help those out. We seriously urge the OIC countries to share the burden by allowing them to resettle in their respective countries. လူသတ္ေကာင္ ကုလားတစ္ေယာက္မွ ဖမ္းမမိေသးတာ အုပ္ခ်ဳပ္တဲ့အေကာင္ေတြဘာလုပ္ေနလဲ.. မျဖစ္သင့္တာ မျဖစ္ရေအာင္၊ အကုုန္လံုုး ျငိမ္းျငိမ္းခ်မ္းခ်မ္း နဲ႔ ျပီးသြား ေအာင္၊ အကာအကြယ္မ့ဲ ရခိုုင္အမ်ိဳးသမီးတစ္ဦးကိုု လွံခြ်န္ေတြနဲ႔ ဓားေတြန႔ဲ အေသသတ္တ့ဲ ၊ ေနာက္ ရခိုုင္အမ်ိဳးသမီး ႏွစ္ဦးကိုု ေသေလာက္ေအာင္ထိ ဒဏ္ရာ ရေအာင္ တိုုက္ခိုုက္တ့ဲ အၾကမ္းဖက္သမား ရိုုဟင္ဂ်ာလိုု႔ ဆိုုတ့ဲ ဘဂၤလီဒုုကၡသည္ေတြကိုု တရားဥပေဒအရ အျမန္ဆံုုး ဖမ္းဆီးအေရးယူ စစ္ေဆးေပးပါ၊ အကာကြယ္မ့ဲ မိန္းမသားေတြကိုု တိုုက္ခိုုက္တ့ဲ လုုပ္ရက္ဟာ အလြန္ ရြံစရာေကာင္းျပီး ျမန္မာအမ်ိဳးသမီးထုုရဲ လံုုျခံဳမႈကိုု မႈဆလင္ဘင္ဂၤလီဒုုကၡသည္ေတြက စိန္ေခၚလိုုက္ပါျပီ ၊ အမ်ိဳးသမီးအခြင့္အေရး ေအာ္ေနၾကတ့ဲ အဖြဲ႔အစည္းေတြ အသံေတြ တိတ္ေနပါတယ္….

Parliamentry Speaker Thura Shwe Mann."we will stick to our path" in amending the Constitution

Despite any internal and external pressures, "we will stick to our path" in amending the Constitution, said Parliamentry Speaker Thura Shwe Mann. Speaking at a press conference after the parliamentary session on October 24, Thura Shwe Mann mentioned his stance when questioned by the Street View Journal about international and local pressure to amend the constitution. "To review the Constitution, Union Parliament has formed the Constitutional Review Joint Committee. Three objectives have been laid for it, as everyone knows. Within this framework, we are taking steps to review the Constitution to make amendments in the interest of the country and the people. Regardless of any internal or external pressures, we will stick to our path. We will try to succeed," said Thura Shwe Mann. The Parliamentary Speaker added that he does not consider the 2008 Constitution to be unchangeable. The Constitution has to be reviewed, and amendments will be made in the interest of the country and the people depending on the time and situation. In making constitutional amendments, the first objective is not to jeopardise peace and development. It is also important to bring national unity and reconciliation, and to be able to continue ongoing democratic reforms, Thura Shwe Mann noted.
