  • USAID/BURMA MONTHLY ATMOSPHERIC REPORT: May 2019
    USAID/BURMA MONTHLY ATMOSPHERIC REPORT: May 2019 Contract Number: 72048218C00004 Myanmar Analytical Activity Acknowledgement This report has been written by Kimetrica LLC (www.kimetrica.com) and Mekong Economics (www.mekongeconomics.com) as part of the Myanmar Analytical Activity, and is therefore the exclusive property of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Melissa Earl (Kimetrica) is the author of this report and reachable at [email protected] or at Kimetrica LLC, 80 Garden Center, Suite A-368, Broomfield, CO 80020. The author’s views in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. 1 MAY 2019 AT A GLANCE The Tatmadaw extended its unilateral ceasefire in northern and northeastern Myanmar to June 30. The announcement came just after the Tatmadaw met with Northern Alliance members. Most analysts believe the Tatmadaw extended the ceasefire to concentrate on fighting the Arakan Army in Rakhine State. (Page 1) Fighting between the Arakan Army and the Tatmadaw moved further south to Ann Township in Rakhine State. While investment in the state is concentrated in southern Rakhine, fighting in central Rakhine is worrisome for the Government’s plans for development in the state. (Pages 2-4) The Shan State Progress Party (SSPP) and the Restoration Council of Shan State agreed to stop fighting and pursue a peace agreement. (Pages 4-5) The USDP submitted four additional proposals to amend the constitution. The proposed amendments focus on decentralization and will likely be sent to the Constitutional Amendment Committee for review. (Pages 7-8) Three agreements were signed by the Myanmar and Chinese governments following Aung San Suu Kyi’s attendance of the Belt and Road Initiative Forum in Beijing last month.

  • Elections in November: a Profile of Supporters of Myanmar's Ruling
    ISSUE: 2020 No. 94 ISSN 2335-6677 RESEARCHERS AT ISEAS – YUSOF ISHAK INSTITUTE ANALYSE CURRENT EVENTS Singapore | 28 August 2020 Elections in November: A Profile of Supporters of Myanmar’s Ruling NLD Nyi Nyi Kyaw* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Partisanship is on the rise in the run-up to Myanmar’s 8 November 2020 general election. In this context, the typical supporter of the ruling National League for Democracy (NLD) party is often denigrated by critics and opposition forces as irrationally partisan. • Lumping together all NLD supporters as an irrational, partisan community overlooks the diversity among them. There are at least three types of NLD supporters: o the individually expressive supporters are partisans of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the NLD; o the socially expressive supporters consider voting a social or civic duty; and o the instrumental voters point to the continued dominance of the military in Myanmar’s politics and the potential return of its proxy Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) as reasons for supporting for the NLD. • These three types of voters are not necessarily mutually exclusive; an expressive voter can at the same time be an instrumental voter. * Nyi Nyi Kyaw is Visiting Fellow in the Myanmar Studies Programme, ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, and Assistant Professor (adjunct) in the Department of Southeast Asian Studies, National University of Singapore. 1 ISSUE: 2020 No. 94 ISSN 2335-6677 INTRODUCTION In the past five years, the image of the supporter of Myanmar’s National League for Democracy (NLD) party and its chairwoman State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has become rather tarnished.

  • Celebrating Diversity in Ancient Myanmar Hindu-Buddhist Art: Mythical Creatures Inaugural Alphawood Alumni Conference (Myanmar)
    The Ancient Role and Present Significance of “Completeness” in Bagan Architecture: Hti Hoisting and Pagoda Repair YAMIN HTAY Assistant Engineer, Department of Archaeology (Bagan) Yadanabon University, Mandalay [email protected] Alphawood Scholarship Batch (2017) Celebrating Diversity in Ancient Myanmar Hindu-Buddhist Art: Mythical Creatures Inaugural Alphawood Alumni Conference (Myanmar) Cover Thu Ya Aung November 9-11, 2019. Bagan Convener: Elizabeth Moore 2 Abstract This article considers the ancient role and significance of ‘completeness’ in connection with religious architecture. It then assesses the present significance of completeness in relation to the umbrella or hti on the summit of the stupa. The Ancient Role and Significance of the hti The hti is a symbol of worship and power (Myanmar Encyclopedia (Vol.5)). In terms of application, the hti can be divided into two types: as regalia and as an ordinary umbrella for daily use. Figuratively, the hti also symbolizes sovereignty when used as a regalia and an aura of auspiciousness when depicted to protect the Buddha against sunlight or rain (Fig1). (a) (b) Fig (1). Depiction of Hti on the wall painting erected behind Buddha, Bodhisatava and Zedi.

In the earlier periods of Bagan (circa 10th to 11th century CE), visual depictions indicate quite convincingly that the hti was made up of three or more-layered tiered metal sheets.

  • 1 LEGAL EDUCATION in BURMA SINCE the 1960S: Myint Zan* I INTRODUCTION in the January 1962 Issue of International and Comp
    1 LEGAL EDUCATION IN BURMA SINCE THE 1960s: Myint Zan* This longer version of the articles that appeared in The Journal of Burma Studies was submitted by the author and is presented unedited in this electronic form. I INTRODUCTION In the January 1962 issue of International and Comparative Law Quarterly the late Dr Maung Maung (31 January 1925- 2 July1994)1 wrote a short note and comment in the Comments Section of the Journal entitled ‘Lawyers and Legal Education in Burma’.2 Since then much water has passed under the bridge in the field of legal education in Burma and to the best of this author’s knowledge there has never been an update in academic legal journals or in books about the subject. This article is intended to fill this lacuna in considerable detail and also to comment on variegated aspects of legal education in Burma since the 1960s. Dr Maung Maung’s Note of 1962 is a brief survey of Burma’s legal education from the time of independence in 1948 to about March 19623: the month and the year the * BA, LLB (Rangoon), LLM (Michigan), M.Int.Law (Australian National University), Ph.D. (Girffith) SeniorLecturer, School of Law, Multimedia Univesity, Malacca, Malaysia. 1 BA (1946) (Rangoon University), BL (Rangoon) (1949), LLD (Utrecht) (1956), JSD (Yale) (1962), of Lincoln’s Inn Barrister-at-law. 2 Maung Maung, ‘Lawyers and Legal Education in Burma’ (1962) 11 International and Comparative Law Quarterly 285-290, This ‘Note’ published while Maung Maung was a visiting scholar at Yale University in the United States is reproduced with slight modifications in Maung Maung, Law and Custom in Burma and the Burmese Family (Martinus Nijhoff, 1963) 137-141.
