Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and ASEAN.

[Feuerbach92]

Aung San Suu Kyi is awesome such a strong woman

a freedom fighter she deserves winning the nobel prize in 1991

She will set Myanmar free!!!

Aung San Suu Kyi the real president of Birma!!! We love her greetings from Germany

[Anomki]

May she remain free and may all beings be free!

[ThermalHD]

She was set free 5 mins ago!

[OwCoCosplay]

If she sucessfully became the new leader of burma , the world will change , the neighbours will follow , the communist states will change because they will received too much pressure from international community .

[Xoootaku]

If Taiwan enter the Asean comunity , China will feel in danger lmao .

If Asean community can make pressure on burma , burma will low his army or maybe a war can exploded . 

[1000wrongdecisions]

I wish she was leading my country.

[xxwzaebd]

Simply put, the spdc and tan shwe must be taken out of power immediately.They are also being supported by chicom and north korean marxist terrorists.Yes,there should be freedom and democracy.tan shwe=bad marxist pig.

[anberry]

She IS right. Economic improvement comes hand in hand with political situations. She really SHOULD be leading Burma, and not those psychopaths right now.

[iean888999]

Please support Taiwan become the member of ASEAN , Dear  Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, thanks, and God bless Burma , Myanmar

[sugba2sugbo]

i want her to lead burma!!!!!

[tayza007]

If Than Shwe jails our leader Aung San Su Kyi, we should assassinate his grandsons and daughters as revenge.

Please do something for ourselves, our country, younger generation and our religion rather than shouting or/and praying.

[Javasteen80]

How come she has british accent?

[1234567loading]

Because she was grew up in Britain and graduated from world's best Oxford university and also she studied in School of Oriental and African Study in London. Plus her husband is an educated English man and has two children who live in Oxfordshire. :)

God Bless Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

Free Burma

[pilipinasmabuhay100]

She has a British accent because her husband, the late Michael Aris, was an Englishman.

[seanpeterlynch]

lol.

[chomulungma]

With all due respect, Daw Suu Kyi is wrong. ASEAN countries reap a lot of benefits from Myanmar.

She is also not completely correct to say that things are getting worse for the people. It's a big country. Life has not improved much for many people, but there is visible growing affluence in the cities.

She is completely correct in pointing out the ethical/moral issues with the current regime. But since when are these issues ever a prerequisite for successful business?

[pilipinasmabuhay100]

ASEAN DOES get many things out of Myanmar, or should I say, BURMA, but by doing this, they're taking advantage of the Burmese People because all the profits the government is making goes only to the Junta's pockets, not to the millions of impoverished Burmese.

And don't you know that Burma is one of the poorest countries on earth? Yes, it's true that Life has NOT improved for the people, but as the junta rules this country with an iron fist, the dictators get richer and richer by the day.

[ZettaiBaka]

chomulungma: I live in the main city and I have not seen this "growing affluence" that you speak of. Do show me examples -- maybe I've been hiding under a rock somewhere for the past decade, or you're just spouting a load of bullcrap.

[monicasm123]

Burma's junta wont pay a shred of notice To the western worlds voice of protest If the mad dog of asia is to be put on a leash Then all asian trade with Burma needs to cease. This form of non-violent intervention will get general Than Shwe's undivided attention The world watches as Burma suffers and dies but its in asia where the real solutions lie Thailand has a golden opportunity to take centre stage And wipe this brute from histories Page. XXX Monica

[monicasm123]

A golden branch is dying on the tree Of the South East Asian family Yet brothers and sisters of that same tree Place love of money before democracy So Burma's sad land is stripped and levelled as her brothers and sisters continue to deal with the devil General Than Shwe knows his ugly regime will always exist for as long as illicit and amoral trade persists Burma's near neighbours hold the key To restoring Burma's stolen Democracy. XXX Monica.

[alafuw]

ASEAN holds sacrosanct the principle of non-interference. In my view, this principle is a convenient excuse for states within ASEAN, which have shady human rights records themselves, to allow one another to avoid the delicate issue of them oppressing their respective citizenries and still maintain an acceptable front as a legitimate and civilised caucus. If they had any morals and ethics, the Burmese junta should have long paid for all the suffering it forced on the Burmese people.

[D1master1]

Isnt she in jail? or wasnt she in jail? did she get out?

[eaintkk]

no.,. not yet .. she is till in jail ... under of those of fkin bastards !!

[Blutravel]

Great woman...

[snowaung]

ASEAN countries, especially Spore, Thai, and Malay only interested in the resources of Myanmar. They are getting they easy now. They have no intrest to change the status-quo. Should we sell oil and gas while all Burmese has electricity shortage? Timbers and gems are below world price and only benefit a handful of people? Myanmars are below minumum wages to those countries, estimated over 2 millions Myanmar workers are in those ASEAN countries. Myanmar need to be strong to protect itself.

I respect her for her courage and determination against the regime.

[syokker]

Now,

Myanmar is the worst conditions by the dictatorship by the army.

It becomes more difficult if each country of the world doesn't do something early.

今、ミャンマーは軍による独裁政権で最悪な状況。

世界各国が早く何とかしないと、もっと大変なことになる。

[KnightofLionel]

God save Aung San Suu Kyi!

[jspen2]

Ceci est une belle femme. Je souhaite que la Birmanie pourrait être aidée.

[kokobankai]

and do u even understand urself what winwin situation means? if so, what ASSK says is clear. In a regime or an organization, all memebers must contribute and follow guidelines. And all memebers should get the benefits they hope to get by being a member of certaing org. Between Asean and mm, which one do u think is doing not right? READ MORE!!

[kokobankai]

well i'm not giving opinions or discussing. just translating what ASSK's trying to say...coz some ppl like u don't understand.

[9naing]

Dam!!!!!!we r going to lose this kinda person.Fuck myanmar government!!!!!!!

[thumyatnaing007]

Daw Suu's ascent is native.. i dunno much abt political things but i think a person who could speaks english very very well n is with international knowledge could lead our country than ppl who needs translator when they go abroad n havn't even finish their high skools!!

[azurelin]

BTW, I really thank DVB for her speeches, Suu's speeches! :) Thanks DVB for this!

[azurelin]

"Without democracy, the economy can't be improved?" Is it so?

"If formally doesn't work, then they should step further, and ask them formally. I think, they should let Burma know what they think is necessary for the economy to take form."

I do not agree at those points!

I agree at "ethical issues" and "an open-market system", however.

[teobp0814]

firstly,u go find out which and which countries is categorise under the developed,developing,undevelop statues.than u go study what kind of ruling system they have.does a undevelop or developing countries without democracy have a better economy than a developed countries with democracy.this will give u the answer

[teobp0814]

i think u should teach them how to let burma know what is necessary for the economy to take form if u yourself are doubting the sincerity of outsider

[kokobankai]

But I somewhere agree with the first 2 points. There'll be no real development without democracy. Only under democracy, will people have equal rights, protection, wealthy and so on society. Just as teobp says, look at all the developed countries whether they are democracy countries or not.

Look at china with great economic success, are all people in China receiving the benefits of that economic success? NO. Why? because it's not democracy system.

[endofdays5767]

The U.S. is a "democracy" and 80% of the people live off of less than 9% of the wealth, so you are obviously wrong in thinking that democracy brings wealth to the people. The largest democracy in the world is India, ..well, you get my point.

[keliwah]

That's an overly simplistic statement. Democracy is a political model - not an economic one. That is to say, it doesn't come bundled with a default set of economic policies that automatically create wealth. However, it's clear to any rational person that liberal democracies create more wealth than repressive regimes because of the environment of opportunity it creates. And India's only been a democracy for 60 years - give it a chance!

[FarNeverending]

I see what you're saying endofdays. I think REAL democracy, "power of the people" could be truly amazing when it doesn't just consist of having influence in elections.

[ChudWatley]

I agree. The term democracy, at this point, is a misnomer.

[myintyee]

You see,the pure democracy system values freedom in the economy- the open market. India does not have 100% open market system. The majority sectors are still nationalized by the government such as energy, utilities, etc. That is a part of the answer to India's wealth and the PM himself admitted that.

In U.S., it is true that 80% live off less than 9% of the wealth. You still can drive, eat and enjoy the things you like.

[myintyee]

But in Burma, majority of the people earn less than $1 a day and not enough food to eat. The government controls 95% of the economy and it uses closed door system. If you are from Burma, you know the university students are always the frontier of political movements. So, the government shuts down the schools several times, lowered the education standard (lied the history especially), and move the schools to middle of nowhere. That goes on like a circle and everything gets worse and worse.

[azurelin]

Why would they want to get improved Myanmar's economy? Why would they need to help out our political situation system to be improved? It is not theirs, but totally it's ours!!! Do you think that outsiders are always sincere? I mean any outsiders; not only ASEAN, but also any other, either big or small.

[teobp0814]

if u understand more about history,economy and political issue.u will find your answer.

[azurelin]

Malaysia and Thailand are happy about cheap labours from Myanmar, and trading as middle-agent between Myanmar and European countires & US. Singapore always welcomes for the brain-drains. Aren't they benefitting? They are just sympathizing by words as an intimacy form. Why would they help us too? It's our family problem. No outsiders can help the problem happening within family members. There are even saying for this in Myanmar language, some story about this and even some histories.

[teobp0814]

ya.they are benefitting.but isn't myanmar benefit too?

[kokobankai]

just example. if one of your family memebers has problem, won't other family members help him or her? mm is a member of asean. mm's economy's up or down effects other members too. if the members don't help another memeber, who's going to help? organizations and regimes like asean are form to uplift the whole region's development not only for a few nations. asean is too easy going and not going doing well.

[kokobankai]

rather than U.N or other organizations, Asean has more influence on mm gov't. If forced, asean can make mm gov't to follow the rules and guidelines. ASSK is suggesting asean to ask mm gov't formally what mm should do and see.

[azurelin]

Is it so that ASEAN countries cannot get any benifit as long as the policy or the sysytem right now in Myanmar is not changed? They are getting benifit somehow at this situation as well.

[teobp0814]

please listen clearly,she is refering to myanmar itself.not the asean.

[azurelin]

She should have known that there is always black market and there are some who are benefitting off. I know that she did graduate in economics too, if I am not mistaken.

I love her and admire her ... par! And I always wanna know how she can bare being alone, aparting from and leaving her family, as a woman, especially as a Myanmar woman. I can't think of and which I am not sure myself of.

[teobp0814]

pardon me for my ignorance.what u mean by black market?could u elaborate more.

[kokobankai]

black markets don't bring good fortune for all citizens. these only benefit a few group of people. what people and ASSK want is political stability and development of all people fairly.

[teobp0814]

now my ISSUE is do i need to attend any english course?is i interpret wrong or u dont get what she is tryig to say?

[kokobankai]

listen at 01:39. and are u myanmar? She's 100% saying that if asean is going to be interested PURELY in economic benefits from myanmar, it'll be selfdefeating. they won't get any economic benefit from myanmar as long as mm goes on this way. mm's inflation's sky high economy is down hell and mm doesn't have accountable transparent govn't that is necessary to make economic success in open market system. yea that's why ASSK says

[teobp0814]

okay.now u go see what azurlin write

[Buarawng]

Asean democracy sucks. Asean countries are just exploiting Burma's natural resources. Even Japan and India are not better than Cuba and China. They never pressed the military government, because they wants oil, teak and other natural resources from the stupid military government.We need more international support.

[azurelin]

Yes, I agree with you at some points, but, we can't do anything with international support. We have to see ourselves vividly, and save ourseleves within. The answer and the truth is within, as the Buddha always speeched and gave example and as the BOgyoke had said.

[teobp0814]

without international support,the person u admire would had been dead many years ago.

[kokobankai]

he retard. u understand english? if not go take some courses. She isn't saying myanmar doesn't benifit from Asean. She's saying Asean is not benefiting from myanmar. economic downfall in one member country effect all other members in the regime. without stable political situation no country can achieve economic development. so what she's saying is that Asean members should enhance ethical issues, hence better and stable situation.

[teobp0814]

sorry,my english not that good.the comments u wrote izzit refering to me?

[kokobankai]

sorry that i wrote rude words. i don't mean that. but you're saying the things that she doesn't say.

[teobp0814]

is okay,is my fault.i will tried my very best to improve my english.i will start looking for courses to enrol.very sorry

[teobp0814]

i am sorry.if u dont mind can u listen to her speech one more time.asean cant get any economic benefit FROM mymmar.can u explain what izzit mean.cos my english is not as good as yours

[kokobankai]

myanmar's economic is not developing instead going down. what can Asean members benefit from myanmar in this kind of situation. myanmar is only making trouble in the region. so if Asean members want myanamr economy to improve, they should improve political situation in myanmar.

[teobp0814]

asean cant get any economic benefit from burma if the political situation did not change.but are u sure she is trying to say asean cant have any economic if burman political situation remain the same

[kokobankai]

well it's not because i understand all the english she's saying. i understand coz it has myanmar subtitle. sorry again for that. i was angry that u accuse the person i admire wrongly what she doesn't say.

[teobp0814]

i like to clarifly.she is the only person that i admired the most.nobody can doubts her extraordinary commitment to the people of burma.but before u angry,try to understand what she is trying to say,and what i am trying to interpret to this person named azurelin

[kokobankai]

I agree that international support is very important. But i'd like to share one thinking that even with international support, if mm governmetn want, they can assasinate ASSK 'anytime'. because of that reason other countries cannot come to attack myanmar.

[kokobankai]

What mm government scare more is the internal revolution. International pressure CANNOT change myanmar government. Only the people within myanmar can do it and have to do it. And the death of ASSK, people's hero, will immediately initiates people to do it. That's one of big reasons mm government cannot erase ASSK.

[teobp0814]

why not u think about this.if there is no international pressure.what will myanmar become?

[teobp0814]

will myanmar become another rising giant like china or vietnam

[kokobankai]

i think mm has even more potential than vietnam to get economic success. Domestic policies are the most important. as long as mm govn't doesn't change appropriate domestic policy, mm's econoomy cannot take-off. For me, I don't concern which party takes the country. Just as long as they're doing good for all citizens, it's all fine.

[teobp0814]

assume that it will.(of course this depend on what policy they using).so standard of living getting higher.everybody earning a salary of 500 to 1000US dollars monthly.

[sharlovetyler]

i wish she is free to go so that our country is better place for our peoples.

[Buarawng]

Great leader.Bring the Generals to the battle-field where they belong to, and place Aung San Suu Kyi on the throne where she belongs.One of the greatest leaders in the 21st century.Free Burma!

[azurelin]

:) (smile)

[shweminthamee]

She has been right all along. What she has said in those days have proven correct today!

[scolocool]

keepposting thank u

[zoozooflop]

Yes, I agree wholeheartedly.

[lucius1984]

very true everything she said
