PROFIT OUT OF LOSS—UNITY IS FOR THE FIGHT AGAINT COVID PAGE-8 (OPINION) The Global New Light of Myanmar NEXT GENERATION PLATFORM 30 AUGUST 2020 THE GLOBAL NEW LIGHT OF MYANMAR SUPPLEMENT By May Thu Htay 2nd year Honours Student, EOPLE in different uniform badges, holding their packed lunch- English Specialization, boxes in their hands are waiting for buses. They are going home. University of Yangon PRecently, it is always overcast with high showers all the time in all parts of Yangon. After a long wait, the bus, already packed with the passengers, arrives on the scene. Setting aside the hope to get a seat on the bus, the first thing you must do is elbow your way in the crowd to set your feet in this bus. Waiting for another bus will take 25 minutes Passengers list of domestic flights from Rakhine or so. Everyone knows that the evening is the most traffic- congested hours in Yangon. The bus driver has to drive carefully. The bus is so heavy with passengers and the road is slippery because of the heavy rain. Under the threat of Covid-19, all people wear masks, of course, but they have to stay really close so that more commuters like them can get home early. This is the kind of condition that most Yangon populace are used to; however, for ones who are just settled in Yangon for life improvements, it must be quite unusual for them. Some of them wear a sulky face, expressing they are losing their temper. As the journey proceeds, the bus is more crowded with passengers. Those who have reached their destination find it hard to get off the bus from the exit. Anyway, they hustle through the crowd to get themselves out. The route is such an uneven ground as everyone might not feel comfortable being in this situation. Suddenly, at one bus-stop, a woman carrying a seemingly heavy basket shoves herself to get on to the bus and another woman helps her carry her basket as she has got stuck near the entrance. At the same time, some men help the bus driver by doing State to Yangon since 10 August 2020 the unpaid job of a ticket collector, reminding the bus driver when to open the slide door and how many passengers still remain to get off. Some worried women are reminding the driver, saying, “Please Slow down.” “Drive carefully” “No more passen- gers, please.” However, the driver kindly stops at every Pull-outbus-stop and still welcomes more passengers on his supplement SUPPLEMENT PAGE (1-8) bus when some are getting off at this bus-stop. As for me, I understand the driver’s Cetana. Nobody wants to be rejected by the driver’s harsh words, “The bus already crowed. If you do not want to be on board, it’s fine, then.” Maybe he wants to take them home as soon as possible. Shoving and hustling, passengers now arrive at their desired bus-stops and they now can sigh and take a deep breath. Undoubtedly, this route is such a bumpy one for every passenger. A saying goes: “To feel comfortable in bumpy routes, we need to wear a pair of shoes right.” It is what I have learned from a book. So, to feel at least easy in this journey, there should be at least understanding between passengers, understanding between the driver and passengers, most importantly, the safety of passengers_ this is what most commuters demand at the moment.

    New Government's Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar

    CHAPTER 2 New Government’s Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar Aung Min and Toshihiro KUDO This chapter should be cited as: Aung Min and Kudo, K., 2012. “New Government’s Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar.” In Economic Reforms in Myanmar: Pathways and Prospects, edited by Hank Lim and Yasuhiro Yamada, BRC Research Report No.10, Bangkok Research Center, IDE-JETRO, Bangkok, Thailand. Chapter 2 New Government’s Initiatives for Industrial Development in Myanmar Aung Min and Toshihiro KUDO Abstract Since 1988, when the State Law and Order Restoration Council (military government) assumed state responsibility, the market has been partially opened to the outside world. Myanmar's industrialization has shown little progress as the previous government’s1 policies and poor international relations hampered FDI inflows. As the new “elected” government took office in 2011, significant changes in policies have taken place and this paper intends to highlight the efforts of the new government in its attempt to enhance industrial development. The paper assesses the performance of related union-level ministries and regional governments towards industrial development through establishing industrial zones in all states and regions, except the Chin and Kayah states. The establishment of seven new industrial zones and extension of 18 existing industrial zones is seen to have a positive effect on industrial development, although improvements in infrastructural facilities need to be realized. Introducing the SME Service Centre in Yangon and SME financing schemes enables the firms to obtain loans from the newly named Small and Medium Industrial Development Bank (SMIDB)2, thus contributing to SME development to some extent.

  • A Comparison of the First and Fiftieth Year of Burmese Law Reports

    A Comparison of the First and Fiftieth Year of Burmese Law Reports

    385 A COMPARISON OF THE FIRST AND FIFTIETH YEAR OF INDEPENDENT BURMA'S LAW REPORTS By Myint Zan* This article compares the annual Law Reports of the first year of Burmese independence in 1948 with those published in the fiftieth year of Burmese independence (1998). In making the comparison, the author highlights the fundamental changes that occurred in the structure and composition of the highest courts in Burma, along with relevant background and factors effecting these changes. There was a movement away from the predominant use of English in 1948 towards judgments exclusively in Burmese in the 1998 Law Reports. Burma's neighbours, who shared a common law legal heritage, did not follow this trend after their independence. This shift, combined with Burma's isolation from the rest of the world, makes analysis of Burmese case law from the past three and a half decades very difficult for anyone not proficient in the Burmese language. This article tries to fill the lacunae as far as the Law Report from the fiftieth year of Burma's independence is concerned. Cet article propose une comparaison des recueils de jurisprudence publiés annuellement sur une période d'un demi-siècle, à compter de la première année de l'indépendance birmane en 1948, jusqu'au cinquantième anniversaire de son indépendance en 1998. A la faveur de cette comparaison, l'auteur souligne les changements fondamentaux qui ont affecté la structure et composition des cours birmanes mais s'intéresse aussi au contexte dans lesquels ces changements ont été effectués. Il souligne ainsi que le mouvement contre l'usage de l'anglais dans les recueils des décisions de justice des cours birmanes, amorcé après 1948, a trouvé son point d'aboutissement en 1998, date à laquelle seule la langue birmane est utilisée.

How Buddhism was introduced into Myanmar is discussed. How the Myanmars professed a mixture of Buddhism and their traditional beliefs is explained. Among the seven kings who supported the Religion in Myanmar, two—Kings Badon and Mindon—reigned in the late Konbaung Period. King Badon’s personal views and progressive ideas concerning the Religion are touched upon. How the kings purified the Religion partly to facilitate their rule is discussed. The monks formed separate sects in the late Konbaung period even though they did not differ from one another in robes, literature, doctrine or goal. However, the kings’ support was important for a sect to stand on its own. In the late Konbaung Period, the Fifth Buddhist Synod, which was the first Buddhist Synod held in Myanmar, was convened. That the Buddhist synod convened by King Mindon was not necessary for the Religion and that he convened it only to defy the British who had annexed Lower Myanmar and to assume the title Pyinsama Thangayanatin Mintaya (the Convener of the Fifth Buddhist Synod) are discussed.

    Myanmar Situation Update (12 - 18 July 2021)

    Myanmar Situation Update (12 - 18 July 2021) Summary Myanmar detained State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint and former Naypyitaw Council Chairman Dr. Myo Aung appeared at a special court in Naypyitaw’s Zabuthiri township for their trial for incitement under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code. The junta filed fresh charges against Suu Kyi, bringing the number of cases she faces to ten with a potential prison sentence of 75 years. The next court hearings of their trial have been moved to July 26 and 27, following the junta’s designation of a week-long public holiday and lockdown order. Senior National League for Democracy (NLD) patron Win Htein was indicted on a sedition charge by a court inside a Naypyitaw detention center with a possible prison sentence of up to 20 years. The state- run MRTV also reported the Anti-Corruption Commission (AAC) made a complaint against the former Chief Minister of Shan State, three former state ministers, and three people under the anti-corruption law at Taunggyi Township police station while the junta has already filed corruption cases against many former State Chief Ministers under the NLD government. During the press conference on 12 July 2021 in Naypyitaw, the junta-appointed Union Election Commission (UEC) announced that 11,305,390 voter list errors were found from the investigation conducted by the UEC. The UEC also said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is investigating foreign funding of political parties and the investigation reports will be published soon with legal actions to be taken against the parties who violate the law.

    Myanmar-Report-On-Situation-Analysis-Of-Population-And-Development-Reproductive

    Report on Situation Analysis of Population and Development, Reproductive Health and Gender in Myanmar July, 2010 Foreword The Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), the Beijing Platform of Action and the Millennium Declaration are international commitments reflecting a common vision of a world free from poverty, illiteracy and HIV/AIDs where all people have information and means to safe and planned reproduction and where women and men enjoy equal rights. Throughout the world, nations strive to fulfill their international obligations and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With only five years away from 2015, the target year of achieving ICPD goals and MDGs, Myanmar stands at a crossroads in its endeavour to achieve the Millennium targets. Issued at the 10th anniversary of the Millennium Summit, this situation analysis report provides valuable inputs in reviewing Myanmar’s progress in achieving MDGs. UNFPA has the honour to present a situation analysis of population and development, reproductive health and gender issues in Myanmar. This study, the most comprehensive of its nature to date, serves as a foundation for policy making, strategic planning and programming by Government, NGOs, INGOs, the international community and the UN. The Situation Analysis report has identified the need to strengthen data systems and improve availability and quality of data. A population and housing census should be conducted to obtain comprehensive population and demographic data at the national and sub-national levels. Census data should be disaggregated by age, sex and locality and be gender sensitive to reflect the situation of women and men.
