Aung San Suu Kyi is completely inhumane as she immorally sided with the Myanmar military in framing and accusing of Myanmar Rohingya as terrorists untruly instead of protecting Myanmar Rohingya from being genocided by the Myanmar military where the Myanmar military lawlessly massacred, raped Rohingya during the Aung San Suu Kyi's government before.
NUG was formed with members of the immorral Aung San Suu Kyi's political party so international communities shall not support NUG as well as anything that involves with the immortal Aung San Suu Kyi.
In order to obtain the support of international communities, all ties must be cut off to the immorral Aung San Suu Kyi or else not only the international communities but also all of the militias of other ethnics in Myanmar who had suffered discrimination unfairly under the Aung San Suu Kyi's government before would not support in unity.
Anyway, Aung San Suu Kyi is the most shameful hypocrisy that is well known all over the world and not a democracy icon at all so it's best for Myanmar people to stay away from this Immorral icon going forward for good.
There is more peace in the US prison than everywhere in Myanmar as everywhere in Myanmar is no difference to the worst prison in the world as everyone in Myanmar is treated like criminal by the illegal military gang.
Forcing to register household registration and disturbing houses without warrant should be stopped immediately for the convenience of people in Myanmar or else all people in Myanmar shall become the illegal millitary gang's enemies for life.
Blocking roads is illegal and wrong and as a representative government, the military should act as a responsible government and should unblock all roads which the terrorist NLD has done so far.
Or else, people would see the military as having no ability to represent as a government.
Blocking road is also a crime and all the others including of urging people to stop going for work, urging people to night watch their wards by misleading people as if the motive is to prevent from arson but not in reality, urging people to strike pot and pan disgracefully at 8pm daily, etc .
All these crimes should be added into the leaders of NLD including the mastermind Suu Kyi so that this kind of crimes would no longer be committed for being treated as a crime.
NLD should be dismantled immediately and their family should be pressured financially and mentally for committing crimes but terrorism would not lead to the good solution so the military should not abuse terrorism for quick solution but more arrests should be done to people blocking roads, people who lead striking pots as well as mislead wards to night watch to prevent from arson, etc
Now the military urgently need to completely clear and unblock all roads during curfew hours daily in order to function, continue and build as a nation.
Recent removing of security protection by the military is adding lots of fear and insecurities to the people to the extent of capable and rich people planning to permanently migrate to other democratic countries around the world.
People are the weath to this country as much as to the natural resources so military should learn to appreciate people in order to improve and raise the status of this country on the international stage.
In order to retain people is to win the heart of people and this can be initiated by providing security protection, peace, etc to the people.
The requirement of overnight guest registration, lawless entering or lawless search of property, etc should be repealed immediately so as to remove people's fear and worry.
In order to return peace and full security to the people, it's essential for the current military to follow democracy rule strictly so that a warrant should be required in order to enter or search a property and a video recording should be done during a property search or of entering a property so that polices or soldiers would not dare to steal or rob money, gold, precious goods, etc from the owner of the property during a property search or of entering a property just like what happened exactly under the era of Than Shwe's lawless military rule.
The current military needs just a bit of kindness and patient in order to act like the democracy system and consequently would win the heart of the people.
The lawless congregation and protest of NLD should be stopped.
The source of finance supply to feed the protesters should be traced and the bank account should be frozen.
All leaders and speakers of all protests should be video-recorded in secret and the arrest should be done with warrants every night until all protests end for good.
The protests shouldn't last for more than 2 weeks.
NLD is nothing but a troublemaker so this party should be banned for peace.
The culprit Suu Kyi should be sent to the real jail with hard labour such as washing toilet instead of allowing her to enjoy under house arrest while people are suffering now for the sake of her selfish power struggle.
Peace should be restored as soon as possible without affecting the normal routine with full right of freedom.
Since all the power and force belong to the military, the overnight guest registration is not necessary because this adds lots of insecurities to all people like people being afraid of the trouble of being checked the household registration randomly and undemocratically without rule and order.
Instead the military should remove the requirement of the overnight guest registration and also add more security to the people in order to win the heart and mind of people so a warrant should be required either to enter a house or to arrest people, anyway both time and opportunity are at the hand of military so adding more patience and following the rule and order should create a better image for the military.
The military has got all the power and the force.
If nothing to be afraid of, it should not be necessary for the military to block the internet.
I don't like Suu Kyi but I don't like my internet to be blocked either.
It's a balance that the military should carefully maintain in order to not provoke all anti-Suu Kyi people by blocking the essential internet in their daily life or else the anti-Suu Kyi people might be forced to act against the military which is not good for both parties while both should be united against Suu Kyi.
Anyway, the military should not act unreasonably above the limit of balance and then everything should be fine eventually. ( Internet and international flight, etc of all should be opened normally again as before, as a gesture of goodwill, the military should bring benefit instead of harm to the people going forward)
Under the guided democracy system, the elected government may need an approval from the military for every new policy in order to stop repeating the ripoff policies imposed by the authoritarian Suu Kyi so that the benefit of democracy system would be enjoyed by the whole population instead of few privileged people.
The democracy system under Suu Kyi is not fair to the Myanmar people because restaurant food price in Yangon became more expensive than Kuala Lumpur, Xi'an, etc now under Suu Kyi's ignorance and even the minimum daily wage was not enough to have either 1 or 2 regular set of meal in Yangon now unlike in Malaysia where people have their whole-day meals outside with their minimum wage without any problem.
The problem in Myanmar is that the useless Suu Kyi's government didn't control the ripoff food price from most greedy restaurants unlike Malaysia where even the rip-off price for a Milo drink was heavily fined according to a Malaysia news so consequently the greedy Yangon restaurants made fortunes and normal people couldn't afford the restaurant food anymore with their minimum wage anymore under the brainless Suu Kyi unlike before the democracy system. It feels like no government presence in Yangon under Suu Kyi to seek justice and right for the normal people in their daily life.
The next government should have a say of the acceptable prices for food which is adjusted based by the raw food price and daily minimum wage.
Suu Kyi is clearly a rubbish coming from London where she was already useless in London as well before coming to Myanmar.
All her inspiration is nothing but a rubbish.
Myanmar was better under Ne Win until this jobless Suu Kyi came to Myanmar to fight against her own brother for a property left behind by her mother and she even shamelessly asked her brother to give her the whole property so that she may arrange the property for a museum in her mother's memory but very soon she sold the furniture inside the property and changed the painting color of of the interior which bewildered her brother a lot without understanding what kind of creature she really was according to the BBC interview.
Life looks unbearable like people sleeping like corpses in a roll in tiny flat unlike never seen before under Ne Win's era and paid whopping 35,000 Kyat per person per month under the era of Suu Kyi and this undertaker Suu Kyi even went further and forced to collect 12% hostel rent tax from these poor hostel dwellers.
The life of Myanmar people is no difference to the life of cockroach under the fake democracy system led by Suu Kyi.
All is because of the skyrocketing property price but nothing was done under Suu Kyi to suppress the property price to restore to the level before the democracy system kicked in into Myanmar.
Balance of life has been completely destroyed by the foolish Suu Kyi and don't know what she's trying to accomplish either but clearly Myanmar is heading nowhere but planning to become the greatest ripoff destination in Asia where tourists wouldn't even come in the future because of the total unreasonable ripoff comparing to the surrounding countries of Myanmar and not for offering any value for money.
She raised the minimum wage by 50% before and consequently helped Vietnam where all foreign investments flocking into which were initially destined for Myanmar.
Suu Kyi did more harm to Myanmar than helping Myanmar so tens of millions of people are still without works while in Vietnam there are not enough people for employment due to lots of foreign investments.
For what Suu Kyi gifted the few millions of jobs to Vietnam! In order to raise the living stardard of Myanmar people? Then what, no job for ten of millions of Myanmar people...
Suu Kyi is out of touch to the reality and brainless.
The deduction of 25% salary from the government salary of NLD members by Suu Kyi is the greatest corruption and it's a crime too so Suu Kyi must return all salary deduction to the NLD members.
The advanced tax of 6% implemented under Suu Kyi is also the greatest ripoff policy which should be abandoned immediately to return justice to the people.
There is no such advanced tax in any other country in this world so this can be done only by the only world-famous fake democracy icon Suu Kyi who is good for nothing but faking which even fooled the whole world for over 2 decades until Suu Kyi revealed herself of being the most unrighteous and hypocritical person by shielding the military against the powerless Rohingya people who did help elect her in 2015 election.
Suu Kyi know nothing of gratitude because she is short-sighted without vision whatsoever.
Backsliding should be stopped for good so freedom of internet, speedy passport issuing, etc of all the good things of the past should be continued for good without disturbing and ID should be expedited in issuing for people born in Myanmar regardless of their foreign-origin and all corruptions should be removed from the customs and immigration department so that ID should be issued as fast as the passport, there are always way to work without harming the normal routine and that is what the military should carefully come up with a plan without abusing power and extremism.
Freehold should be provided instead of leasthold for all land.
Banning of farmland from converting to normal land should be repealed.
And 80% confiscation of farmland for initiating a project on the firmland under Dracula Suu Kyi should be repealed as well.
Everything was normal before the democracy system kicked in and then people suffered endless ripoff under the democracy system like people not being to afford skyrocketing property and poor people with few acres of firmland became billionares overnight, everything under this ripoff democracy system is so unfair and unreasonable, it should be time for a change for good.
It's time to place the priority for the people so that life would not be the same anymore and would not be burdensome anymore.
Corruptions in government departments are really the culprits which makes people suffers endlessly until now for over half a century so in order to place the priority for the people is to end the corruptions once for for all without mercy for the evils or else the future would be destroyed for Myanmar for the remaining century.
It's a matter of life or death and over half a century has been wasted in complete corruptions so it's time to make the right decision in order to not regret on the day of reaching the century.
So it should be time to suppress the corruption in government once and for all for good so as to make the greatest impression in Myanmar history for the future generations to remember and narrate that at least under whose rule all corruptions in government were eliminated unlike never seen in Myanmar history.
Myanmar ID should be immediately given to people born in Myanmar regardless of coming from foreign origin or not just like the people born from foreign origin in US are guaranteed for US citizenship. Is Myanmar greater than US? If not, please be humble and at least accept people born in Myanmar from foreign origin who actually contribute more prosperities to Myanmar so their intelligence and contributions should be appreciated and recognized for good instead of discriminating them or else it's the greatest loss for Myanmar.
Good service is what the military lacks to make a good impression to the people and the military would never be able to provide good service considering of their background so civil servants of good manner should be employed instead of the soldiers to provide good service to the people.
All ripoff policies imposed by Suu Kyi should be abandoned in order to return justice to the people such as the banning of Yangon license for imported car, the outrageous 150% import duty or tax for importing a car, the recent 150% raising of electricity price, etc, property price should be restored to the era before the democracy system or before year 2011 in order to return justice to the people, etc. Cattle should be banned again from exporting so as to comfort people's burden and etc
It's time to make a historical change for good.
https://www.indiatoday.in/auto/cars/story/maruti-suzuki-swift-was-india-s-largest-selling-car-in-2020-with-sales-of-over-1-60-lakh-units-1762090-2021-01-23
But the price of this exact car is 209 Lakhs Kyat or 11.45 Lakhs Rupee in Myanmar.
So this car is 109% (209-100=109,109/100x100) more expensive in Myanmar comparing to India.
So from this inhumane ripoff, people and investors can see clearly that the hypocrite Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the current Myanmar government is not only the most famous fake democracy icon but also the most shameless Myanmar Dracula sucking the blood of all people and investors mercilessly under her thievery tyranny.
The price of a bottle of the Alpaca marlot wine from Chile country is just around 5,000 kyat in Japan but there is no way to find a bottle of foreign wine for less than 10,000 kyat in Yangon, Myanmar.
The ripoff direction led by the current corrupt government is unsustainable so consequently destroying the quality of life as well as all the record of balance maintained under the previous military regime.
The military regime understood what was needed for fundamental survival and didn't touch areas where the survival would be badly hurt for the survival of the low income family.
But the current undertaker Suu Kyi government even doesn't spare the poor and force to raise the price of the essential electricity price by at least 150% few months ago unlike never seen throughout the history of Myanmar government.
People would realize sooner or later how evil the Suu Kyi government to the people.
People helped elected the corrupt party of Suu Kyi twice since 2016 in believing her party would help alleviate the heavy burden of their life but instead Suu Kyi adds more loads of burden to the people by raising the price of electricity by 150% from 50 kyat to 125 kyat for 1 unit of electricity though it just cost 12 kyat to produce for 1 unit of electricity through the hydropower plant and more than 50% of all electricity is produced through the hydropower plant in Myanmar.
Many taxes are either raised unfairly such as the car import duty or tax, etc or many unfair taxes are collected under her administration unlike never seen before and discrimination starts being practiced against the rules of law set by herself such as collecting almost 50% more for the usage of electricity from 125 kyat to 180 kyat for 1 unit of electricity for the residents of the golden city condo, other condos etc.
The corruption of Suu Kyi didn't end here and she also sides with the corrupt government workers deliberately by raising their salary at least twice to the extent of the salary of the government worker becoming the higher salary comparing to the outside jobs unlike the previous governments where the salary of government worker is always lower than the outside jobs.
The corruption of Suu Kyi didn't end here either and she rewared herself 150 millions kyat worth of free car import license recently as well as an enormous land of 400 square feet in total area in a good location in the capital where it's even suitable to build for at least 5 big Yangon Shangri-La hotels.
There seems no hope and future under her narrow-minded mismanagement bundled with corruption going forward and the backsliding of the last 4 years would be predicted to be repeating for the next 4 years unfortunately.
Under the foolish Aung San Suu Kyi's leadership, covid has been spreading badly to the extent of Myanmar being ranked for the top 3 position in spreading the most covid in Asean just in a few months, 2-5 months unlike never seen before in history.
Indeed the foolish Suu Kyi is seeking help from the most useless country called India which is ranked the top second position in spreading the most covid on the international stage so it's no wonder the worst day is ahead waiting for Myanmar to suffer more covid under the foolish Suu Kyi's leadership.
The WA government's leadership is unlike the foolish Suu Kyi and the WA government copies the best method of covid prevention available in the world.
And it's indeed the China which is the only country in the world to be able to isolate and eliminate covid completely unlike never seen before in history.
And that is exactly the wise WA government has been executing the best covid-elimination method and tested everyone for covid for free in the whole Mine La city and anyone reporting of anyone not being tested for covid would be awarded 60 thousands kyat so very soon all the regions under the WA government would be covid-free.
So these are the differences between the wise and foolish leadership.
Though the current most dishonest government imposed to charge the residential household for 6,050 kyat exactly for the usage of first 100 units of electricity since July 2019 but the residential households of Golden City Condo, etc are currently being charged whopping 18,000 kyat exactly for the usage of first 100 units of electricity.
So the residential households of Golden City Condo, etc have to pay 198% more or 11,950 kyat more comparing to other residential households for the usage of first 100 units of electricity so this isn't fair and acceptable for the residential households of Golden City Condo, etc
So the culprits responsible for this thievery ripoff must be jailed in order to return justice to the victims of the residential households of Golden City Condo, etc and then immediately return fairness to the the residential households of Golden City Condo, etc for the usage of electricity usage.
The Yangon chief minister should be investigated for power abuses and corruptions.
Or else Myanmar is not acceptable as a responsible parter on the international stage.
So it's no wonder that no foreign investment is coming to Myanmar anymore since the beginning of the current most corrupt government because no investor trusts a great thief like the current Myanmar government.
Condo developers are requested to build their own power station by the current ripoff government and it costs the condo developers a whopping 1800,000,000 kyat lakhs.
Not only the condo developers are ripped off but also the condo resident are too badly.
Though there is an open policy from the current government to charge 50-120 kyat per unit of electricity to home user and 180 kyat per unit of electricity to commercial usage.
But the condo residents are currently being charged at the commercial rate which is 180 kyat per unit of electricity so the residents of the Golden City Condo, etc have been suffering this wicked ripoff unfairly.
This is an unacceptable ripoff for the condo residents as they are too home users.
So from this ripoff, the future of Myanmar can be predicted accurately which is Myanmar would be getting poorer and poorer because ripoff is not what the rich would accept as they would run to foreign countries where there is no unfair ripoff just like in Myanmar and then Myanmar properties would be worth nothing a few years from now on.
Though condo developers are granted permissions but not only electricity but also water and road are not provided by the government so the condo developers have to dig the underground water to provide water to the condo residents expensively but road pavement done by the condo developers are stopped by the corrupt YCDC deliberately though no whatsoever support is provided by them but only conspiring to rip off bribe from the condo developers with whatever dishonest methods they think stupidly.
Corruption by the Yangon YCDC is beyond reason and acceptibility so most condo developers have given up Myanmar and go to Pakistan for condo development instead.
The price of the mutton curry of the Indian restaurants in Myanmar is not only more expensive than Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia but also the amount of mutton is extremely few too at the Indian restaurans in Yangon, Myanmar such as at the Golden City Chetty Restaurant, Shwe Mingalar Indian Restaurant, etc where 4 very, very tiny pieces of mutton + rice, etc are provided for about whopping 4900 kyat unbelievably, which is much more than the current daily minimum wage, 4800 kyat of Myanmar) and the amount of mutton as merely as a quarter comparing to the amount of mutton at the generous Indian restaurants in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
It's time to severely regulate and monitor the rip-off Indian restaurants in order to completely stop this despicable food rip-off businesses in Myanmar or else Myanmar is going to be shamed as a ripoff country on the international stage instead of the real culprit shameless, rip-off Indian restaurants in Myanmar.
The Hyundai i20 car is just 6.79 lakh Rupees in India but the price of the older model Hyundai i10 in Myanmar is currently priced for 12.96 lakh Rupees in Myanmar.
So the car price in Myanmar is kind of double expensive comparing to India.
So the foreign investors should stay away from this outrageous rip-off of the shameless Myanmar government.
Everything in Myanmar starts with rip-off and ends with rip-off.
And it has already proved the cases of many rip-off in Myanmar to the extent of forcing many foreign investors especially the owners of many factories in Myanmar to run away leaving behind their whole factories which leaves the foreign investors with nothing but broken life so it's kind of warning to all foreign investors that investing in Myanmar would destroy their lives.
Unlike in other countries, land in Myanmar can be bought only for leasthold (leasthold is kind of long-term renting with no whatsoever ownership of the land) and after few years, the rip-off Myanmar government shall take back all land along with all the property on the land so all foreign investors should not invest for the leasthold trap of the rip-off Myanmar government.
Civil wars are ongoing in many regions accross Myanmar and no one can guarantee when the armies of other races would attack Yangon and so on so investment in Myanmar is extremely risky for foreign investors unless civil wars accross Myanmar are ended for good.
Instead of seeking the right parter, the unsophisticated undertaker Suu Kyi foolishly chose India.
So the intention of the unsophisticated undertaker Suu Kyi must be questioned seriously now as to leading Myanmar towards the similar cursed fate of India or else who is going to take responsibility for the out of control massive deaths in Myanmar in the next few months from the misleading of the proved top rubbish India?
Myanmar needs a reliable partner in order to contain the coronavirus successfully.
Even if China were not Myanmar's choice, the proved top rubbish India should never be trusted for salvation in Myanmar so Myanmar should immediately abandon the proved top rubbish India and choose a reliable partner from among countries which have proved to contain the coronavirus successfully.
Currently the price of 100 baskets of the just-harvested paddy is 470,000 kyat but the Suu Kyi government abused the government fund to set the price to 520,000 kyat, 10% above the market price, this is clearly a manipulation of the market price for which Suu Kyi should be jailed for the power abuse and the treason on all people.
Rice price has been excessively raised many time under the leadership of the culprit Suu Kyi, consequently people have been suffering terrible inflation unlike never seen before.
Myanmar is unfortunately bordering to the most deadly India.
So Myanmar has to immediately not only completely close all the border gates to India and impose death penalty for officers allowing illegal trading at the borders but also to completely close all unofficial shortcut routes leading between Myanmar and India just like what the Thailand has been completely attempting to close all illegal entry loopholes between Thailand and Myanmar.
All flights from US and India should also be banned landing in Myanmar unconditionally in order to prevent the coronavirus from further spreading in Myanmar.
All imports from India, especially the food, etc has to be diagnosed to see if any stain of coronavirus were included in food or not.
Or else all the current efforts to contain the virus locally might be useless and unpractical for Myanmar without pinpointing the source of the real spreader immediately and then the situation even might be out of control just like India in the next few months without eliminating the culprit spreader.
It's not necessary to cease its service and operation but just need to follow the strict procedure of coronavirus prevention.
"No work, no pay" practical policy must to be applied to the government workers too as demanded recently by the chairman of the garment employer association.
Or else is it fair for the tax payers to feed the freeloading government workers like the lazy, useless minister and his accomplices of the transportation department.
If they insisted to not work using the excuse of the coronavirus, they should all be fired immediately and no worry there are millions and millions of qualified people who would work even for free as long as food is provided because the millions are starving due to poverty and no job.
The transportation department is an essential service that people need for taking the test of driving license and so on so the transportation department must never be closed even for temporarily until the democracy government exists no more.
The monthly salary of all government workers higher than or equal to 2 millions kyat must be reduced by at least half immediately to reflect the current very bad situation.
The president should be responsible for the rampant crimes committed by the 20,000 prisoners he released few months ago on his reckless presidential pardon during the coronavirus epidemic without considering the consequences of his reckless release of criminals. No wonder the president is the enabler of all rampant crimes all people are suffering unnecessarily now.
