Good news and bad news!!

This morning when I woke up, I was a bit confused after putting myself in the shoes of Burmese. If I were in Burma, what should I do? The referendum is coming very soon. and the situation is getting more difficult and tense. Numbers of people hope to see the good changes and they are now thinking of voting for the referendum, that I personally agree with them. However,according to RFA and many other news agencies, the constitution is just a tool to make military rule to become legitimate. In the end, no matter what happen, the constitution will give a power to the army to overthrow the government and take control of the country again. So what is the point of voting for constitution? At worst, many Burmese did not even know what the constitution is, and what will include in the constitution.

The good news is that Than Shwe and his best ally Tay Za, who brought money to the military rulers, are in deep trouble. Than Shwe is, apparently, desperately looking for the support of majority of the public for upcoming referendum. It is not so sure how he is going to manage such matter. Meanwhile, Tay Za is desperately looking for the money- to compensate for most of his accounts frozen by the US and its allies. Subsequently, they cannot limit the supply of cell phones anymore; the price of cell phones going down after bringing different cell phones in, which apparently could bring regular income to the seller. I personally hope this will continue and the plan of referendum will be destroyed.
