An open letter to President Thein Sein and Myanmar Generals


During 19th and 20th centuries, because of World War and Cold War, millions of innocent people lost their lives all over the World. Recently, because of “Terrorism and War on Terrorism” nearly 2million innocent people lost their lives on Earth. Those who are responsible for killing of innocent people are lower than animals. Grasping the norms “Might is Right”, leaders prefer worshiping their desires rather than justice, humanity, honesty, and trustworthiness. Burning, killing, looting, torturing, injustice, intolerance, against humanity are going on all over the World, in the name of religions and ideologies. Desperate persecuted innocent people of the Earth are eagerly looking for a system of politic and economy, which is based on “Love and tolerance towards humanity”. I would like to give you my humble suggestion regarding development of our country.

1. After independence, General Ne Win nationalized in the name of national security and development which caused our country one of the poorest on Earth.

2. Ne Win’s regime started discrimination, hatred and racism against minorities and ethnics of Burma which caused 1000s of nation-wide violence.

3. In 1988, after nation-wide protest against regime, military took power and started deceiving people of Burma using Buddhism, hatred, and racism as regime changed all original names into their own names, favoring Buddhism, building Dhammar-yun or Buddhist worship houses in every street, every ward, and every school and let monks to preach everywhere. National Media is used for spreading hatred, racism, and intolerance.

4. Myanmar regime’s main intention is not favoring Buddhism but using it as tool of political and economic gain. Essence of Buddhism is four noble truth and eight fold path which is missing in the regime’s promotion of Buddhism. No one is born hating another person because of the color, or background, or religion. People of Myanmar who took place a good name called Mitta in the pages of World History, now grasping hatred, why? Regime taught hatred, racism, and intolerance instead of Mitta, love and tolerance, you could teach people to love , for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. Hatred and intolerance are unacceptable in this modern World.

5. Since May 2012, Myanmar regime has been grasping three tools in order to gain political power and deceiving the World; Buddhism, Rakhine racists, and Media such as Eleven Media. Regime created a fake Thida Htwe raped case to started violence in the whole nation. Who has power in Myanmar , Rakhine or central authority? How the mobs could kill, burn, and loot in spite of the Government imposition of the Section 144, which bans all movements of 5 or more people?

6. We appreciate reducing monks’ preaches from the National Television which has been being broadcasted since 1988, and hope that you would eliminate all laws including 1982 citizenship law which is the main cause of violence, hatred, racism, and intolerance.

7. If you really want to develop our country and love Myanmar people you must respect Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international convection.

8. Myanmar Government has been blaming a group of people since May 2012, for the nation-wide violence, massacre, and destructions. Who are in that group? Why can’t 500000 military, 200000 police forces and 1000s of intelligent people stop a group of people, if you can’t control a group of people, how can you develop our country or the group of people is no one rather than you?

9. You are denying existence of Rohingya as if you are ignorance of Myanmar history, why? Don’t you read General Aung San appointed 2 Rohingya to draw 1947 constitution of Burma? Don’t you know Rohingya’s broadcasting from national radio? Even if you analyze your format of 2008 constitution, you could find the right of a race; a race can claim its own name, don’t you know it? Please read again your own law? Denying existence of Rohingya is not the solution of Rohingya who are recognized as the most persecuted on Earth. Keeping 1million Rohingya under blockage and planning to kill those is inhuman attitude.

10. In Burma, there were Pathi Muslim, Bamar Muslim, Pachu Muslim, Zirbadi Muslim, Kaka Muslim, Surathi Muslim, Kyuliya Muslim , Kaman Muslim , Rohingya Muslim and many other ethnic Muslims, but Myanmar Regime has been trying to convert all of them into Bangali Muslim, why? Myanmar regime forced Muslims whose culture, and feature were very close Burmese to be foreigners . Is it the idea of Rakhine racists whose main target is to establish independence Rakhine Fatherland or your own to grasp power forever? You can’t hide the reality by using 1000s of imitated historical facts; you can’t get any fragment from an artificial rose.

11. Recently, some people of Myanmar brought second-hand engines and spare parts of cars from Japan and Thailand , produced Myanmar Car products , people called those cars “Plaster cars” which looked like real but didn’t have quality of cars. Myanmar Government is also trying to implement plaster cars like democracy in Myanmar ; one side they give chances for violence and massacre against Muslims, Rohingya and Christian, other side they are pretending democracy reform in Myanmar.

12. Don’t you know 2 million Bengali Rakhine Buddhists had already entered into Burma, don’t you know, out of 600000 monks, 75% is Rakhine? If you are ignorance of that information or you don’t believe it, you must invite an international investigation commission to figure out the reality.

13. I would like to request you to stop violence against non-Buddhists, free 1million Rohingya whom you kept under blockage, give Rohingyas’ rights as they deserve mentioned in 1000s of Myanmar historical documents, eradicate all dictators’ laws, arrest all monks and Buddhists who create violence in the name of national security and religion.

Thank You
Aung Aung ( Siittwe )
