Postcard from Myanmar - July 2015 Postcard from Myanmar - July 2015 August 4, 2015 Summary Authors/Presenters Welcome to the latest edition of BLP's monthly Myanmar update. We have distilled the latest Myanmar news into this 'speed read'. Please get in touch for more information. Tun Zaw Mra 1. Myanmar sets General Senior Associate Election date for 8 November Singapore 2015 [email protected] Myanmar’s Union Election Commission (UEC) has made an official announcement that the much-anticipated general election is to take place this year on 8 November 2015. The election will see more than 1100 seats in national and regional parliaments contested across the country, and is largely regarded as the country’s first credible nationwide election in 25 years. The military, which had ruled the country since 1964, scheduled the last general election in 2010 under circumstances which were widely viewed as favouring the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP). The opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) boycotted the 2010 election on account of what it perceived to be unjust electoral laws, and this will therefore be the first nationwide poll to put the NLD against the USDP. 2. Constitutional Amendment Bill - Update The military has blocked certain amendments to the Constitution, following the tabling of two Constitutional Amendment Bill in parliament on 10 June 2015. In particular, the military used their 25% bloc in parliament to vote against amending sections 436(a) and (b) which currently require 75% of lawmakers’ votes in favour to approve constitutional reform. The proposed amendment would have reduced the 75% threshold to 70%, thereby curbing the Page 1 of 3 military’s power. The amendment is particularly pertinent for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the NLD, who remains barred from becoming President in the absence of constitutional reform. Debate on the second Constitutional Amendment Bill began at the end of June 2015. 3. Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) considers delegation of investment powers U Aung Naing Oo, Director General of Directorate of Investment and Company Administration (DICA) has announced that the MIC is planning to delegate the power to approve certain investments to the state and regional governments. The overriding ambition behind this proposed delegation is to enable regional governments to develop their economies independently by allowing them greater powers to approve certain projects. A prerequisite for these plans will therefore involve making amendments to the existing Foreign Investment Law and Myanmar Citizens Law, which currently do not allow states and regional governments to approve investments. While it has been reported that these amendments are expected to be passed in advance of the election on 8 November 2015, in addition to the Myanmar Investment Law which aims to combine the Foreign investment Law and the Myanmar Citizens Investment Law, this does not seem likely given the election timeframe. 4. Myanmar announces its first minimum wage Myanmar is to introduce its first ever minimum wage of 3,600 kyat (US$ 3.24) for an eight hour day. The National Committee on the Minimum Wage (NCMW) announced the proposal on 24 June 2015 following twelve months of negotiations between the government, employers and labour unions. Stakeholders have been given two months to respond to the proposal before the issue goes to parliament, and, so far, the proposal has been met with a mixed response. Although views from outside Yangon tend to be more positive, some labour unions are pushing for higher pay whilst some factory owners, particularly in the garment industry, are conversely arguing that their businesses will become unsustainable. Once a decision has been made, the Minimum Wage Law, which was first approved in early 2013, is intended to be implemented with immediate effect. Page 2 of 3 5. Government announces Yangon Development Plan Mayor U Hla Myint has unveiled detailed plans for proposed growth for seven satellite towns around Yangon’s regional parliament. The development proposal, which was initially put forward by the Yangon City Development Committee and developed jointly with the Japan international Cooperation Agency, aims to divide Yangon into seven sections: (i) North East Yangon; (ii) South West Yangon; (iii) Dala township; (iv) Thanlyin township; (v) Htantabin township; (vi) Hmawbi township; and (vii) Hlegu township. The project is expected to cost US$7.4 billion and aims to accommodate 10 million people (up from 5 million) by 2040, tackle traffic congestion, and also provide increased job opportunities. The proposal was approved by Yangon’s regional parliament on 19 June 2015 by an overwhelming majority with 113 of 115 lawmakers in favour. 6. Government introduces new K10,000 note On 1 July 2015, the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM) introduced a new series of K10,000 notes. The new series is intended to be more durable and possess upgraded security features to prevent forgery. CBM has said that the legal tender status of the first series of K10,000 notes will not be affected.

  • Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr
    1 Geographical Point of View on Transformation from Waste Disposal Site to Housing in Yangon City Dr. Nant Mu Aye Professor and Head Geography Department Yangon University of Economics Introduction Brownfields are generally defined as abandoned or underused industrial or commercial properties where redevelopment is complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination. Brownfields vary in size, location, age and past use. They can range from a small, abandoned corner gas station to a large, multi-acre former manufacturing plant that has been closed for years. ( Environmental Protection Agency,) Some waste disposal sites suffer from the mistaken perception that they are contaminated, when in fact, they just need to be cleared of debris. There may be soil and groundwater contamination caused by discharges or dumping of organic and inorganic chemicals. Redevelopment of waste disposal sites benefits communities through urban regeneration, reduced sprawl, an increase in tax revenues and job and an improved living environment. Therefore, transformation of waste disposal site to housing area is important for sustainable development of the urban area. Brownfield redevelopment is important because it - restores urban property to productive use, thus increasing property values - increases job opportunities and local tax revenues - improves public health and the environment - utilizes existing public infrastructure. - eliminates neighbourhood blight, thus improving a community's image and long-term sustainability. Brownfields can be redeveloped for a wide variety of purposes. Successful redevelopment efforts have turned brownfields into retail sites, light industrial facilities, office parks, waterfront promenades, parks, schools, low–income housing, stadiums and transit centres. Strategic Brownfield redevelopment can clean up environmental hazards, remove neighbourhood eyesore, create jobs, provide housing and promote general economic health in local communities of all sizes.

  • A Geographic Analysis on Distribution Pattern of Parks and Gardens in Yangon City
    Dagon University Research Journal 2011, Vol. 3 A Geographic Analysis on Distribution Pattern of Parks and Gardens in Yangon City Zaw Latt Tun* Abstract Recreation is an essential need for human beings. At present, due to the rapid advance in technology, a number of electronic devices for indoor recreation have widely been used in several places, especially in urban areas. However, outdoor recreation is also important for physical and mental relaxation for the sake of less expense of money as well as for healthy lifestyles. Moreover, it is the most appropriate type of recreation for all lifestyles, whether male or female, young or adult, rich or poor, single or married and so on. Therefore, this study attempts to highlight the existing distribution pattern of some outdoor recreation sites, particularly parks and gardens of Yangon City from geographical point of view. Introduction ‘Recreation’ means any activity done for pleasure in leisure time without expensing any money. The choice of recreation depends on individual interest, ability, one's income. This means that some hobbies e.g. golf, have a limited range of socio-economic classes involved. Personal choice is influenced by a range of factors including age and gender, education and interests, socio-economic group, occupation and status, family and stage in the life cycle, time available, distances involved transport available and facilities needed (Ganderton, 2000). At present due to the rapid advance of technology, a number of electronic devices for indoor recreation overwhelm in several places especially in urban areas. Modern recreation facilities may temporarily remove the mental stress caused by monotonous daily routine, transport difficulties, noise pollution etc., but these facilities may, in the end, cause both physical and mental defect, unless there is insufficient fresh air, green cover and open space for exercise.

    初期環境影響評価報告書 要約 ミャンマーは電力不足や長時間にわたる停電が頻発しており、その結果として、 電力に依存する同国の経済、市民の生活水準、その他における発展が阻害されて いる。 電力省は電力不足を克服するため、海外の金融機関や開発パートナーと共に、新 たな水力発電の発電源、送電線・変電所の新設、既存施設の更新、持続可能で再 生可能なエネルギーの開発、その他利用可能なエネルギーについて検討し、発電、 送電、配電の開発を加速させようとしている。 500kV の送電線及び変電所の建設はミャンマーの電力網設備の強化のために不可 欠であり、ミャンマーの電力需要を満たすため重要な役割を果たす。 プロジェクト概要 500kV 送電線の調査範囲はバゴー管区のパヤジー変電所からヤンゴン管区にある ラインタヤ変電所までである。送電線はバゴー管区にある 3 つの群区とヤンゴン管 区にある 1 つの群区にまたがる。95km の送電線は 219 基の様々タイプの鉄塔によ り構成され、平均スパンは 450m （0.27 マイル）である。送電線の大部分はプラン テーションや劣化した森林、下草の生えた土地や農地を通過する。 プロジェクトは受送電を行う 4 つの変電所を建設する。変電所の建設地はメティ ラ、タングー、パヤジーそしてラインタヤが提案されている。 プロジェクトエリアの自然環境 変電所及び送電線のプロジェクトエリアは主に農地であり、所々熱帯雨林も含ま れる。バゴー川及びライン川が水生生物の主な生息地である。 すでに開発はかなり進んでおり、環境や景観への影響がある。地形は平地と丘が 混在している。低木林は一般的な半常緑樹の再生林で確認された。プロジェクト エリアの開発はかなり進んでおり、生物多様性は低く、生息環境は悪化している。 アジアゾウやビルマメダマガメのような絶滅の危機に瀕した種がこの地域に生息 する可能性はある、頻繁ではない。 Moeyungyi 湿地野生生物保護区はパヤジー変電所から約 10.7km のところにある。 Kyetthauk 野生生物保護区はバゴー管区内バゴーヨマ丘陵の下に位置するタング ー変電所から南西に 3.2km の所にあるが、ミャンマーでは保護区としては正式に 登録されていない。ヤンゴン管区にある Hlawga 野生生物公園は、至近の送電線か ら 7.5km 東のところに位置し、保護区のリストには野生動物公園として登録され いる。プロジェクトの性質及び距離から、保護区への影響与えないと考えられる。 ヤンゴン及びバゴー管区は熱帯モンスーン気候である。5 月から 10 月までの長い 雨季に年間の降雨量の大部分が降る。11 月から 4 月までの乾季はほとんど雨の降 らない。ヤンゴンにある気象水文局によるとバゴー管区周辺の平均気温は 26.9 °C そして平均降雨量は 3260 mm （128 インチ）である。ヤンゴン管区周辺の平均気 温は 27.4 °C そして平均降雨量は 2787 mm （109 インチ）である。 メティラ郡区は中央ミャンマーの乾燥地域に位置しており、熱帯の乾燥した気候 である。4 月が最も暑く平均気温が 31.1 ˚C、12 月が最も寒く平均気温が 21.4˚C である。メティラ郡区の年間の降雨量は 809 mm （32 インチ）である。 メティラ、タングーの地質は中新世から漸新世にかけて形成された上部ペグー層 群及びイラワジ層の堆積物で構成されている。 上部ペグー層は青灰色頁岩、黄色がかった茶色がかった砂岩や砂石灰岩で構成さ れている。イラワジ層は粘土と豊富な木材化石が特徴である。上部ペグー層群は イラワジ層に覆われている。 プロジェクトエリアの社会環境
