Daw Aung San Suu Kyi - SMU HRH Q&A (22 Sep 2013)

[@shweguru]

Really like to see this Q&As translated into Burmese language and be heard by a wider Burmese society, especially Uni students/ the young persons in Burma. I am pleasantly impressed by the enthusiasm of these students in Singapore and by their the style of questioning.

Often we have to be selfish to achieve anything meaningful. Something or someone is sacrificed on the journey to achieving one's goal. Selflessness is when we then use that success to give back to society at large. Suu Kyi made the ultimate choice between her family and staying in Burma. However, that choice was foist upon her - and she showed courage to endure the torment that the Junta inflicted upon her - realizing she may be misunderstood. If only the world's leaders were less self absorbed

Great video content but poor audio quality makes difficult to follow.

According to the law has become so diluted - poisoned by the military Junta in Burma - that the people need another line of thought to guide them. Perhaps - According to the people would be more apt. It seems that long lasting and meaningful change in Burma, can only occur if the slate is wiped clean. Perhaps Suu Kyi - has insight beyond most of us in that she can find merit in having the oppressors being at the forefront of reform - A brave move that is hard for most of us to comprehend..

There is a danger these latest so-called capitulations of the Junta - may lead to apathy. Now more than ever, is the time to march - to participate online - become involved - and do so in a way they amplifies the work done by Suu Kyi and those who have stood with her hitherto. Among those demands - are infrastructure - access to education, health, and at least be able to enter Napypidaw the nation's new capital. Right now the people do not want to even go to Napidaw and who could blame them

Law and order or rule of law will remain diminished for decades to come - if the military are not seen to face justice. There is no way that peoples who have been so oppressed over five decades can now be expected to abide any adherence to rule of law that is established by one of the most unruly juntas in recent history. The Burmese people require at least a national apology - the personal wealth of the Junta to be paid back - and restitution also needs attention. This interim is indeed cruel
