Myanmar
ignore this
crisis?
As Malaysia and
Thailand refuse
to allow boats
laden with stricken
migrants land
on their shores,
patience appears
to be dwindling
with Myanmars
insistence that
it bears no
responsibility for
the boats, many
of which contain

Ring busted
Six men were reported to have been
caught in a sting operation on a
gold-smuggling racket in Chennai
earlier this week, according to a
May 12 article by the New Indian
Express (probably an esteemed
publication, however one whose
reliability I cannot vouch for) entitled
Myanmar gold in rectum, six walk
into a trap, which sounds more like
the beginning of a strange haiku than
a news story.
According to the Express, six
men (traveling in pairs) had crossed
overland from Myanmar, heading to
Imphal then on to Kolkata or Delhi,
before flying into Chennai where,
unbeknownst to them, a crack team
from the Directorate of Revenue
Intelligence were ready to receive
them.
After initial resistance, the six
reportedly confessed that they were
indeed carrying contraband gold in
their rectums, a modus operandi they
used at least six times earlier, an
official was quoted as saying.
After they wilfully agreed to
evacuate the contraband, DRI officials
waited till they were in possession of
the expertly packed gold bars.
Each man had two packets in his
rectum, containing three bars each.
These bars were rolled in two layers
of carbon or graphite paper and
taped into a smooth surfaced body
with black insulation tape.
The gold was reportedly worth 1.6
crore, and while my crore conversion
skills are somewhat rusty, I think its
valued somewhere in the vicinity of
US$160,000, or a bit over $26,000 per
butthole.
The story was also picked up by
Mizzima as Gold smuggling ring
busted, which is an accurate if not
wincingly visceral turn of phrase to
use given the context (particularly
if the image used in their article is
to be believed the ingots pictured
weighed 1kg each and looked rather
unwieldy).

A SENIOR Union Solidarity and Development Party official says change to key
sections of the constitution may not be
possible for more than five years, as another prominent politician warned delays in amending the constitution could
lead to a political crisis.
As the remaining time to change the
constitution before the election ticks
away, Thura U Aung Ko, a central executive committee member of the ruling USDP, hinted that no major changes
will be made to the constitution during
the current governments term.
Speaking to journalists during a
break in the parliamentary session of
May 13, he said, Everybody knows that
changes to section 436 are 99 percent
impossible. The government doesnt
want to change it, he said.
Change might not even come under
the next government, to be formed early
next year following elections in November, Thura U Aung Ko warned. Its going to take a long struggle.
The opposition National League
for Democracy has said it plans to
political players.
In particular, the military has a veto
over constitutional change through its
grip on 25 percent of the seats in both
houses of parliament. The allocation of
those seats to the military is guaranteed
under another controversial provision
of the constitution, section 436.
On April 10, six-way talks involving
President U Thein Sein, Commander-inChief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing,
Thura U Shwe Mann, Amyotha Hluttaw
Speaker U Khin Aung Myint, Daw Aung
San Suu Kyi and U Aye Maung of the
Rakhine National Party, representing
ethnic minorities took place in Nay
I never believed
that parliament
could change the
constitution. But
that doesnt mean
we will give up
trying to find a way.

Earlier, U Tin Maung, secretary

he was subjected to abuse by an insolent official.
The YCDC staff were rude, and a

Cars registered in the 33 city townships are not liable for the tax. But the

EMBERS of a new
political entity calling
itself the Womens
Party have been told
by the Union Election
Commission they should change
the organisations name, it was
reported this week.
It appears the government told
party leaders the name was too
general, as the word women
represented a wide variety of voters
throughout the country.
Given how often women are
ignored in politics, it is heartening that the authorities recognise
women are voters, too.
However, in this case they seem
to be missing the point.
Presumably, the fact that around
half the electorate is female, and
deserves to be fairly and equally
represented in a way it is not at
present, is why the founders of the
Womens Party decided to launch
the group.
In a country where less than
5 percent of national parliamentarians are women, the need to
increase female representation is
clear. It is a worthwhile political
goal in itself.
The party, informally established
in October 2014, has said it aims to
boost the number of women of all
ethnicities engaged in politics. So
the name Womens Party would
seem to be a very accurate description of what it stands for.
But apparently the men in charge
dont all see it that way. The UEC
reportedly requested that the party
change its name, or at least alter it
by putting something in front of or
behind the word Womens.
They could hardly give a clearer
message that womens issues are
not considered important enough
to matter in their own right but
are expected to have some other
political angle to give them validity.
In the UK, Sandi Toksvig, a comedian and broadcaster who recently
founded the Womens Equality Party,
has described facing similar challenges within a British context.

What are
the forces
driving
migration?
THE surge of boat people arrivals
into Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand
merits closer enquiry into the issue of
regional migration. The majority of
the trafficked people are from Myanmar and Bangladesh.
Human rights organisations have
blamed Myanmar for the exodus,
saying that it has been prompted
by discrimination toward minority
groups.
There are obviously deep problems in Rakhine State in respect to
human rights. But economic opportunities, or lack thereof, are also a
major driving force.
Myanmar and Bangladesh have
a similar per-capita GDP around
US$1200. A major difference is in
population density. While Bangladesh has less than a quarter of
Myanmars land mass, its population, at 156 million, is three times
as large.
For many people living in Bangladesh and Myanmar, the greener
grass lies beyond the countrys borders. The higher wages in countries
like Malaysia, with a per-capita GDP
of about $11,000, and Thailand, at
about $5500, entice many thousands
to go abroad each year.
Economic disparity in the region is an issue that needs to be addressed. But responsibility lies not
just with poorer countries like Myanmar and Bangladesh, but also their
richer neighbours and the international community as a whole.
Countries must also come together to tackle the crime at the heart
of this latest outflow of migrants.
Many of these people have been held
in horrendous conditions by human
traffickers, who are now dumping
them on foreign shores.
The culprits are simply exploiting
the poor and helpless for financial
gain. They and those others who
facilitate their despicable trade
must be brought to justice, whether
they are in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia or Myanmar.

8 million
subscribers
since July
CATHERINE TRAUTWEIN
newsroom@mmtimes.com
MPT has sold more than 8 million SIMs
in the seven months since Japanese
telco KDDI and Sumitomo Corporation
began a joint operations agreement in a
bid to modernise the state-owned telco.
KDDI, which on May 12 released its
financial report for the fiscal year ending March 2015, stated that launching
operations in Myanmar had boosted
revenues for its global services segment, with the segments operating revenues posted at 320.6 billion yen (US
$2.7 billion) up more than 20 percent
over the year prior.
The company first officially entered Myanmar last July when it
joined Sumitomo Corporation in setting up a subsidiary, KDDI Summit
Global Myanmar (KSGM), to assist
state-owned MPT in competing with
then-forthcoming international telcos Ooredoo and Telenor.
Officials at the Japanese company
told The Myanmar Times in a January
interview that MPTs penetration of the
Myanmar market stood at 11 million
active SIM cards, though hedged the
figure could represent an inaccurate
picture of its user base.
The company now claims MPT has
sold more than 8 million SIMs since
July, with steady sales growth anticipated in the future.
In its report, the Japanese firm said
sales were propelled by fresh rate plans
and data communications discounts
rolled out over the year and launched
to ensure customers could avail themselves of services at flexible rates.
In a May 12 presentation on its
financial results, the company highlighted its new Swe Thahar plan for
consumers launched in January, which
began charging subscribers for data
per megabyte rather than by amount of
time online, as well as the debut of an
MPT brand stand at Yangons international airport.

eign beer and liquor are leading members of the Myanmar Retailers Association to push for government permission
to begin legal imports.
About 300 outlets from 22 different
companies have joined in lobbying to
begin legal imports and sales after they
stopped sales on February 20, following what it says was pressure from the
Tax Advisory Board and the Ministry of
Commerce.
Imports of foreign alcohol are generally illegal in Myanmar, though there
are loopholes for hotels and duty-free
shops. Government officials had generally looked the other way on imports
until launching a series of raids in late
2013.
Myanmar Retailers Association
deputy chair U Myo Min Aung said the
associations members have received
many customer complaints in the past
three months since imported alcohol
was pulled from the shelves.
We are thinking and trying to import brands again. Customer demand
is growing for foreign brands, and our
members frequently complain that local shops are killing them with lowerquality local products made jointly by
local producers, he said.
U Myo Min Aung added domestic
producers are not in a position to fill all
the market gaps and different market
segments.
The Ministry of Commerce pledged
to provide legal avenues to liquor imports following its raids on importers
in 2013 and 2014. Beginning in March
this year, the Ministry of Commerce
opened a legal import avenue only for
wine imports, though so far companies
are still working to obtain the necessary
approvals to proceed. The ministry has
also pledged to further open the market

Roads leading up to the Park Palace, frequented by foreigners and international aid agency workers, were
blocked by a large number of security
personnel who arrived after the attack, according to an AFP photographer at the scene.
Kabul police chief Mr Rahimi, who
was at the scene of the ongoing attack,
had earlier said security forces faced
heavy gunfire from the assailants.
The attack comes a day after a visit
to Kabul by Pakistan Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif, who assured Afghanistan of Islamabads full support in its
battle against the Taliban, saying the
enemies of Afghanistan cannot be the
friends of Pakistan.
His unusually strong remarks are
the latest sign of a thaw in the oncefrosty relationship between the two
countries. Afghan officials have frequently accused longtime nemesis
Pakistan of harbouring and nurturing
Taliban insurgents.
But Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has actively courted Pakistan since
coming to power in what observers
say is a calculated gambit to pressure
the insurgents to the negotiating table.
The Taliban has been behind previous attacks on compounds and guesthouses occupied or frequented by
foreigners, including at least two separate assaults in Kabul last November.
Militants also launched a major
attack on a compound of the International Organisation for Migration in
2013.
Along with guesthouses and compounds, the range of targets hit last
year in Kabul included the Afghan
capitals most prestigious hotel and
a restaurant popular with Western
diplomats.
Taliban insurgents, who have
waged a 13-year war to topple the USbacked Afghan government, launched
their spring offensive across Afghanistan late last month, stepping up
attacks on government and foreign
targets.
This year marks the first fighting
season in which Afghan forces are
battling the insurgents without the
full support of US-led foreign combat
troops.

ceasefire began.
We urge all parties to continue
to ... honour the commitment to restraint, spokesperson Jeff Rathke
said.
As aid agencies said they were
starting to deliver assistance, residents of the rebel-held capital Sanaa told AFP the ceasefire came as a
much-needed relief.
We hope this truce becomes permanent. We finally managed to sleep
peacefully last night, said 25-yearold Mohammed al-Saadi.
More than 1500 people have been
killed since mid-March in the air
campaign and fighting between rebel
forces and Hadi loyalists, according
to the United Nations.
The Huthi rebels, allied with army
units loyal to ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh, have taken control of large
parts of Yemen including Sanaa and
were advancing on Hadis southern
stronghold of Aden when Riyadh
launched the air campaign.
The weeks since the start of the air
war have seen repeated warnings of a
dire humanitarian crisis, with shortages of food, water, fuel and medical aid.
The UNs food agency said on May
13 that the situation in Yemen had become catastrophic.
Dominique Burgeon, emergencies
director at the Rome-based Food and
Agriculture Organization, told AFP
the problems civilians faced were
very serious and at the moment the
country lacks everything.
UN agencies and private aid
groups had been preparing to boost
their efforts since the ceasefire was
announced last week and on May 13
began taking steps.

Miliband replacement
coming in September
BRITAINS opposition Labour will
name its new leader on September 12 after Ed Miliband resigned
in the wake of last weeks bruising
election defeat, the partys executive committee said on May 13.
Nominations to replace Mr
Miliband will close on June 15, the
centre-left party said.
Liz Kendall, Labours spokesperson for care and the elderly,
and Chuka Umunna, spokesperson on business, had earlier
declared they would run for the
party leadership.
Health spokesperson Andy
Burnham and former work and
pensions minister Yvette Cooper
joined them by announcing their
candidacies.
Education spokesperson Tristram Hunt is also seen as a potential contender.
Bookmakers favourite Mr
Umunna, 36, would be the first
leader of a major British political
party from an ethnic minority but
is seen by critics as too inexperienced, having been elected to parliament only in 2010.
Divisions have emerged within
the party over whether its general
election campaign was too leftwing or not left-wing enough.
Former prime minister Tony
Blair and supporters of his centrist New Labour approach were
critical of Mr Milibands pitch.

investigated for financial wrongdoing under its disgraced former president Mohamed bin Hammam, who
is banned from football worldwide.
The results of the audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers were never published but leaked details raised concerns over payments worth millions
of dollars.
Days after the taped interview,
the aFC filed a report with police
alleging the theft of financial documents from its headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.
We have got to
protect integrity, we
have got to protect
good governance.
Peter Velappan
Former aFC general secretary
aFC, now led by Bahrains shaikh salman bin Ebrahim al Khalifa, to fully
investigate the situation and not simply use soosay as a scapegoat.
i hope the aFC will conduct a really good, professional investigation
into all this and if theres anything
[against] any of these top officials that
appropriate action will be taken, he
said.
We have got to protect integrity,.
We have got to protect good governance.
However, he said soosay, the humble and simple former coach and Malaysia midfielder who became general
secretary in 2009, had some explaining to do.
He has to explain ... if youre not
guilty you dont go to a guy [the aFC
financial director] and tell him all
these things, Velappan said.
soosay became general secretary
in 2009, two years before Qatari businessman bin Hammams nine-year
stint as president collapsed under
claims of bribery and financial misconduct.
Bin Hammam was accused of
handing out bribes for votes while
campaigning for the FiFa presidency
in 2011, as well as during his native
Qatars successful bid to host the 2022
World Cup.
asias football authority holds significant power in the sport because
of the voting power it wields at world
body FiFa, where its 46 members
make it the second-biggest region.

The OFC had agreed to back australias bid for 2022 but Temariis appeal meant it cast no vote.
FiFa said Hammam, then a member of the FiFa executive committee
and the asian Football Confederation president, covered the costs of
Temariis legal expenses.
Mr Temarii received the money
in January 2011 following a meeting
with Mr Bin Hammam in November
2010 in Kuala Lumpur, FiFa said in
a statement after the ruling by the
adjudicatory chamber of the independent FiFa Ethics Committee,
chaired by Hans-Joachim Eckert.
Temarii was banned from taking
part in any kind of football-related
activity at national and international level for a period of eight years,
FiFa said.

AFC CUP
Understrength Royals
end continental woes
MyANMARS other entrants into this
seasons AFC Cup continued their
run of poor results in the competition when an understrength yadanarbon FC lost 3-0 to Hong Kongs
South China who qualified for the
knockout stages with a perfect run
of six wins out of six.
Australian striker Daniel McBreen hit two past the second string
defence of the already-eliminated
yadanarbon at Mandalays Mandalar
Thiri Stadium on May 14.
yadanarbons coaching staff were
visibly embarrassed by only being able
to field three outfield substitutes for
an continental competition because
in addition to injuries 10 players were
away on international duty with the
age-group national sides and two had
only just returned on May 12 from a
senior squad training camp.
The fact that Myanmar U23
squad members were held back although they are in country and their
tournament will not begin until June
2 was of particular aggrievance. Unfortunately for the winners of the
2010 AFC Presidents Cup Asias
third tier continental competition
this club versus country battle has
been detrimental to the strength of
squad and preparation throughout
their AFC Cup campaign.
In the first half we looked to play
on the counter-attack but our team
today struggled to play that way,
so in the second half we gave them
more freedom and it showed, said
yadanarbon coach Kyi Naing.
yadanarbon goalkeeper Nyi Nyi
Lwin had already stood up well to
McBreen twice in the games opening
minutes but when the veteran forward
found himself surrounded by blue
shirts but with not one of them marking him, he could not fail to score.
yadanarbon were not without
chances and Leung Hing Kit in the
South China net was tested on occasion but as he passed that examination yadanarbon was found lacking
on the counter-attack.
The second goal saw Lam HokHei
running free of the yadanarbon defence and onto a through ball before
rounding the keeper at the top of the
box. Nyi Nyi Lwins efforts bought
enough time for several yadanarbon
players to scrabble back to the goal
line but Lam Hok Hei steadied himself and slotted the ball home.
with both teams assured of their
fate, the second half showed little urgency until Leung Chun Pong found his
way to the left-hand byline and crossed
for McBreen to finish from close range
in a crowded box for his second.
The remainder of the game might
have been purely about whether McBreen would complete his hat-trick
as the yadanarbon team contented
themselves with long-range efforts
had it not been for the introduction
of Thet Shine Naung.
His 70th minute long range effort
was the only attempt to test the keeper when he caught Leung Hing Kit
napping and won his team a corner.
The substitute then became provider for yadanarbons only close
range opportunity of the half. Attacking down the right he crossed for yan
Paing whose shot deflected off Jack
Sealy and onto the crossbar.
Now our focus must turn to our
domestic competitions and retaining our title of champions so we
can come back to AFC competitions
stronger next year, said Kyi Naing.

superfood
ID you like your sushi? Did
you enjoy that generous
helping of pond scum
you had with it? Because if your
maguro and your ebi were served
with nori, or other varieties of
seaweed so tastefully presented in
the average Japanese restaurant,
thats exactly what you were eating.
Seaweed is more algae than
plant, and some varieties are
classified as bacteria. When we eat
seaweed, we are eating something
closer to pond scum than arugula.
That doesnt stop it from
being tasty and nutritious, as
our ancestors have known for
In Wales,
porphyra,
a red algae
related to nori,
goes by the common
name laver and is
added to oats to make
laverbread.
If you really want
to know the origin of
seaweed, things get
complicated very quickly.
According to northern Californiabased biologist Dr Jennifer
Palladini, Seaweed has no real
scientific meaning, but loosely
refers to large marine algae, which
are mostly red and brown. Green
algae are more like plants, but still
not plants.

access to modern medicine and they visit the clinic when they
get sick. But many children living on the other islands are
educationally underprivileged and they dont have a chance
of getting to schools. Sick Salon hardly ever receive proper
healthcare, said U Thawtar Nyunt.
He said the schools school in Jalun and Ma Kyone Galet
were funded by the generosity of visitors and international
tourists who witnessed the poor condition of the group. But
medical supplies are irregular, and healthcare provision
erratic.
Conservationist U Aung Myo Chit said about 350 Salon live
in Ma Kyone Galet. The village once had a clinic but it closed
because there were no doctors or medicines to keep it running.
When they mix with other nationalities, the women marry
Myanmar men and speak Bamar. Only the old Salon still speak
their own language, go about half-naked and keep the old way
of living, said U Thawtar Nyunt.
Bamar come to run small businesses in the villages, and
racial integration in the villages weakens the Salons embrace
of cultural practices. Buddhist shrines can be seen side-byside with spirit shrines in their houses, he said, adding that
the Salon live free in nature.
They are content with what they fish and dive for. When
they live closely with Myanmar people who collect what they
dive for and sell it at the Thai border, the Salon are driven by
greed. They behave like Myanmar people, U Thawtar Nyunt
said.
U Aung Myo Chit said one of the ways to maintain their
cultural identity is to let them carve their own kabang and let
them lead their entire life out at sea.
If they continue to live on the islands, the other communities
will keep taking advantage of them. The tribe is diminishing.
They must return to the sea, he said.
American photographer David Heath was in the archipelago
in February 2014 and stayed for four days. He has recently
published the photography book Burma: An Enchanted Spirit.
He said the Salon have very different cultural values than
those in a modern society. They have a beautiful lifestyle and live
in harmony with mother ocean. They truly are sons of the sea,
he said.
Among the issues facing them is overfishing by
professional fishing fleets, modernity and tourism, he said.
International tourists and divers have discovered these
islands. We can only hope that the Salon will retain their
traditional lifestyle and ancient customs, Heath said.
You can now see signs of the modern world such as plastic
goggles and buckets and modern clothes. If their nomadic
and reclusive ways are restricted, their traditions and unique
customs could be lost forever.

OR more than a decade three beaches have reigned supreme in Myanmar, but there are plenty more places to
catch some sun and sand than just Ngapali, Ngwe Saung and Chaungtha. Myanmars southeastern coastline
boasts a wealth of beach options, while lesser-visited locales can also be found in southern Rakhine State and
even right on the edge of Yangon. Some of these appear poised to become tourism hotspots, while others are likely
to remain sedate backwaters for years to come.
Gwa, Rakhine State
At the southern end of Rakhine State, Gwa township is dominated by mangrove and mountain forests that cover
around three-quarters of its 2072 square kilometres (800 square miles). About 25 kilometres (15 miles) north of
the town is the beach of Kantharyar, which the military once tried, and failed, to turn into a tourist spot. The land
confiscated for this ill-fated project the hotel was badly damaged in a 2006 cyclone has since been given back to its
original owners, and tourism has been left to small local entrepreneurs. Working together with NGOs and community
groups, they see a potentially bright future for tourism in the township, which boasts mile after mile of undeveloped
coastline, lined only by mangroves including some very rare and unique species and fishing villages.
There are no air links with Gwa, but recent upgrades to the road from Yangon have cut the travel time to about
seven hours. Dont expect luxury while youre there the accommodation options are cheap and cheerful, and many
areas still lack electricity. Gwa is definitely one for the adventurer, those travellers who are happy to make their own
way exploring the countryside.
Getting there: Gwa is a seven-hour car or bus ride from Yangon.
Where to stay: There are few licensed hotels in the Gwa area. In Gwa town, there is More Guest House (09-73148509), while at Thar Yar Chine, a village near Kantharyar, theres Sakawar Guest House and Restaurant (09-49666029).

WEEKLY PREDICTIONS
Saffron
A Study in
PISCES
Feb 19 March 20
Try to withstand emotional ups and
downs by maintaining your levelheadedness. Tackle thorny issues
without alienating friends, family and
co-workers. Sometimes things look
more complicated than they are. Be
prepared to cut through the clutter
and seize the core issue. Isolate the
facts, weigh the issues and make your
decision.
ARIES
Mar 21 Apr 19
You know you must decide soon. The
matter you have been turning over
and over in your mind cannot be put
off much longer. Procrastination will
only make things worse. So grasp
that nettle and carpe that diem. Apply
Occams razor and cut that Gordian
knot. Maybe your decision will be
right, maybe it will be wrong. But do it
this week.
TAURUS
Apr 20 May 20
Good luck will be with you most days.
Know that one cool judgement is worth
more than a thousand hasty councils.
You should cultivate a wide vocabulary
at every opportunity. Well begun is half
done, as Aristotle rightly said. Psych
yourself up for social negotiation. Have
faith in your intellectual capacity to
balance your emotional budget.
GEMINI
May 21 June 20
We know youve been through the mill
lately. Frankly, it shows. Its time for
some mohinga of the soul. If you dont
cosset yourself, who will? But dont
take too long over it, because that way
self-indulgence lies. After all, some of
your critics have a point. The question
is, which ones? You dont need an
answer to that question this week.
Monday will do.
CANCER
June 21 July 22
Success in business, in politics or in
love is simply a matter of right action,
honesty and good luck. But if you
want spiritual enlightenment, it will
take more than just having a happy
knack. You cannot stumble into it.
Advancement along the true path is
hard because the path is narrow, and
always uphill; it is easy because the
path is straight.
LEO
July 23 Aug 22
Enhancing your ability to serve
others should start with mastering
yourself. Do not neglect tomorrows
opportunities even as you scramble
to solve todays problems. Continue
to consult others by asking the right
questions, but this time try harder to
listen to the answers. Learn from the
past, act in the present, look to the
future.
VIRGO
Aug 23 Sept 22
In the end, the drip-drip-drip of water,
endlessly repeated, wears a hole in
the stone. Dogged persistence is one
of your most successful, if perhaps
least winning, qualities. You will
stumble across something of crucial
significance to you this week, as if
by coincidence (if you still believe in
coincidence), in the social media. You
will know what it is when you see it.
LIBRA
Sept 23 Oct 22
Ask yourself this: Is it better to know
some of the questions than all of the
answers? And is the answer to that
question one of the answers you really
need? Always be willing to laugh at
yourself whenever you start to feel just
a little too pompous. It always works
for the rest of us. As far as money is
concerned, you are absolutely fine
until Wednesday.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 Nov 21
Something will occur that will favour
your business or working life, money
matters and your material welfare
in general. But once again, social
contacts need special care and
attention. So keep an eye open for any
straws that will show which way the
wind is blowing. The important skill to
acquire now is learning how to learn.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov 22 Dec 21
The earth doesnt belong to man,
but man belongs to the earth. Think
carefully before setting pen to paper.
You are likely to need all your patience
and common sense this week. The
more you are able to get out and
about, the more available you will be
for serious opportunities without too
much risk of a sticky end.
CAPRICORN
Dec 22 Jan 19
Success may depend on how you use
your intellectual capacity. Money may
come from an unexpected source,
but balance income and expenditure
cautiously. Keep in touch with people
who have advised you wisely in the
past. You will have to work hand in
hand with them to fulfil your dreams.
You may meet a kind lover through
work.

T
Myanmar President U Thein Sein and South Korea President Park Geun-hye
Furthermore, Myanmar is
located at the westernmost of
the Southeast Asia and Korea at
the easternmost of the East Asia
so that the two countries can
contribute to the region-wide
peace and stability, by playing
the bridging roles within the
region and beyond.
Also, Myanmar and Korea
share historical experiences
of colonization, military
government, and economic
backwardness. From the
shared experiences, Korea
can empathize with Myanmar
for its development concerns
ranging from political
transition process to effective
use of foreign aids. In December
2014, for example, Korea
International Cooperation
Agency (KOICA) launched two
symbolic development projects
Myanmar Development
Institute (MDI) and Saemaeul
(New Community) Movement.
Three years ago on 17 May
2012, I visited Myanmar for the
first time without knowing what
to expect. I still dont know what
led me to launch a KOICAsponsored project of faculty
retraining at University of
Yangon, which is now in its third
year and helped me foster deep
friendship with many Myanmar
colleagues. It could have been
karma, as a friend of mine often
teases, but it goes without saying
that the extraordinary character
and love of Myanmar people
is a big part, just as many of
Myanmar people are attracted to
Korea because of its people and
culture.
