Opulent state wedding draws gasps in poor Myanmar

[topolm]

90% of Myanmar's wealth is in that wedding reception

[xxxdieselyyy]

WHAT THE SKULL FUCKING SHIT, STFU CNN......

This just shows that people care more for their immediate family than they care about their comrades and fellow humans.

Even in USA, India, UK etc., people do their best to provide for their children, even if it cost 40,000 USD a year.... but when a stranger fellow human comes and asks for just 20 dollars worth, how many will willingly part with it? That is human empathy 4 u.

[xxxdieselyyy]

@xxxdieselyyy --------2--------->Even in India if u look at rich industrialists weddings, some r even more opulent than this. Yet those workers who make those industrialists rich r lucky if they make even 1 USD a day. But then, in that case we say "life's not fair, factory owner worked very hard 4 his success bla bla so its ok" and we accept it as human nature, but when it comes to junta, the SAME human nature is unacceptable.

I am lost.

Foolish humans.........

[anthony0415]

Fuck Than Shwe's Family and the Junta government

[htoopyaeaung22]

HAY UN PLEAS HELP US THX

[nimitzclass]

The person who leaked this video to the CNN must be dead by now if he's still in Burma. Count the grieving Karen tribe mother too. The freaking stupid minister of misinformation should just die. Than Shwe and his cronies are totally shameless. Let's see if they can carry all those diamonds into the grave with them and if they do, let's see what good will they get out of them.

[meme645]

she looks as if she feels like a princess. a princess wearing stolen clothes and jewelry, feeding her guests with stolen food, receiving stolen gifts. all stolen from the poor of her country. these people should learn from history: all autocrats have died "beautiful" deaths.

[jason60652]

When Than Shwe is overthrown they need to charge him and his daughter with crimes against humanity. To spend so much money on themselves while the entire country suffers is sickening.

[101FrenchKisses2]

Her behaviour? That is so ludicrious a comment to make from the Junta...

I hope they get what is coming to them. How could anyone fathom having such a tacky, lavish wedding when there are people around you, starving to death? Mugabe did it too, he had a lovely 'birthday party' for himself while there is hyper inflation and no food on supermarket shelves. This is 2008, not 1808. Why are tyrants and human rights abusers still around?

[sweethoneysteve]

They are no true Royal Family!They are the Myanmar devil family & friends.

The pleasant society ground of people without the shame!

You steal the treasure of the country and seize money, And your wedding ceremony that seems to be happy by a false smile.

Are you still happy?

Shame on you it is ...

[KhmerSerey1]

Disgusting man,and i'm not even a burmese hahahaaa,i feel so sorry for the burmese children,i know what it's like to live under Cambodian brutal communist dictattor .

[snikysnacky]

Revenge the death of Pado Mahn Shar!

Death to General Than Shwe and all his generals!

Long Live Burma!

[deathbloodydeath]

I wonder how sweet you suck Ma A Loe Than Shwe's dick like this.

[Hail08]

BruceLeeKickYoAss3: I think you can share Than Shwe's daughter with that guy for a night. I saw some of your comments on youtube, and it goes without saying that you are a member of the regime who is living in U.S. or in Western countries. I issue the arrest warrant for BruceLeeKickYoAss3.

[baantawai]

Here is a real example who is keeping the ordinary people of Burma in misery..!!!

[baantawai]

What economic development??!! have you ever been to Burma?? asshole!!

[Neocal595]

There is 10 months till Beijing Olympics. China will return to Business as usual once olympics is over, so world body such as U.N or international Criminal Court should make a move now. China is behaving well in their opinion because of up-comming Olympics. I hate to think how are they going to behave once Olympics is over.

[ravemyx]

Thats a FAT Daughter!!

[MoonliteSonata]

disgusting. the wedding, the generals, the government. everything.

do u guys know that YouTube is now banned in Burma cuz of these wed videos.. I just read it in BBC News.

[pescesardinazzz]

Alla faccia della popolazione che muore di fame!!!!! Bastardo pezzo di merda.....

[baantawai]

Ceremony cost three times state health budget!!!

[sahrD]

In my tribe a common adage amongst peers rings true here. It simply translates as "Do not be angry at the one who beats you but at your friend who stands by and does nothing."

This inhumane act is being committed with impunity by the Burmese junta in full view of the world and the powers that be are taking forever to dismount the self-mounted bureaucracies for them to take action that will end the suffering of the people of Burma. What a shame!!!!

[kurohune07]

Than Shwe has officially announced New Capital. It's in Pyinmana now called Naypyidaw(King's Royal City). video search-Than Shwe's secret home found. Pyinmana map via satellite(by maungde).

Burma's new capital is 373 miles, 8-10 hours drive from Rangoon. This construction costs contributed to the huge budget deficit. Than Shwe built himself a fit for king "palaces", and his very own "Green Zone". But in this new capital CELLPHONE and INTERNET are not permitted.

[nowayjose22]

is there anything we can do in our own capacity. please someone tell me, and be nice...i'm new to this and i felt completely moved by the plights of Aung San Suu Kyi and the general public. the junta should be more than ashamed...such horrific acts need at least some form of repentence..not a fucking wedding!

[letstalkaboutstuff]

Thandar Shwe looks like a fat ugly pig. I wonder if she smells as horrible as she looks. Thandar Shwe is a monkey. She looks like a monkey in a circus.

Than Shwe is a superstious idiot. THAN SHWE, evil people have put curses on you and your ugly cow daughter. Than Shwe, you are a stupid ugly old man and millions will celebrate with joy when you die.

[hamp28]

In an ideal world this is impossible, but where we live it is. By whatever moral standards you want to judge the injustice in the world, a very true saying in Bavaria goes "Wer ko, der ko!" that means "the one who can can" and this my friends unfortunatly has been and will stay true for a long time...

[icantspeak]

i feel pity for the groom..., now he have to live with that fat thing, hope they overthrown the government so that he can divorce that thing safely

[bukuku]

FUCK YOU CRUEL MILITANT FAMILIES!!!! I think the prostitutes on the streets have higher dignity more than you money-suckers.

[mrmrmemyself]

The daughter doesn't look happy. Will not be surprised if the young man marrying has not been forced by the military.

[papalolita]

Like ugly father, like ugly daughter.

Hooray for the Internet that such things be exposed.

[BCSTH]

Part 2: This fantasy world paired with brutality is another side of fear - these people will always have to be scared - they have only their own little bubble. Unfortunately they most probably are too stupid and cold to understand the simplest levels of ethics - a solution out of this is probably "a difficult question".

[BCSTH]

Part 1: These people will almost certainly face genetic death (not just as individuals - everyone dies - but as a family - like extermination of a "subspecies") - the problem is all who suffer before that happens. I am not in favor of violence but it seems quite likely that this will be the end result - they have almost no friends outside their fortress and weapons.

If you want World PEACE, then Read and Recommend "THE ART OF PEACE" by Morehei Ueshiba, (founder of Aikido), to Everyone you Know and Love. (So Be It.)

[johnnykkh1974]

[baantawai]

[baantawai]

[shweminthamee]

These generals are disgusting animals.

[gorgeous1251]

Thanks for sharing..

[thukha50]

gr8 vid!

[yukikyaw]

you suck

we mayanmar people don't want you

we want Daw Aung San Su Kyi

[thukha50]

ur so damn right!!

[janepanzeee]

that is disgusting

[forburmeseseniors]

I would like to share and compare how Burmese Seniors are living these days to this ugly juntas video. If you understand Burmese language, that will be perfect. Thank you.

[UnknownHistory]

Now I know, There is someone who wants to marry such a ugly, fatty, old lady who will not be touched by the gost even if she was offered to him.

[thawdar]

Who would? But if they have a gun to your head, that's a different story.

[UnknownHistory]

Whatever they have, they just can't change the fact that WE DON'T WANT THEM. That's is the fact that would last until the world ends.

[UnknownHistory]

Thanks for sharing this video.

They must be shamed on what they were doing.

I just felt something after watching this movie.

I felt very very sorry to those people who are suffering.

[AMradioFM]

The bride was handed luxury items like houses and cars. I have family from Myanmar. They say $20 can feed a large family for the entire year. Those gifts are worth millions. Watching this is very sad. When and how will the junta be knocked down?

[janepanzeee]

wow

[myauklay]

This is the example of dictatorship at its maturity. Are they trying to impress warlords in Sierra Leone by showing these stones? I feel sorry for the fat lady. She will need them when she flees the country. But her father won't be so lucky. The jewels shown in front of the wedded couple were not gifts. They are used as blockade. The couple have to pay to enter the bedroom. It is an old custom originated in India. It sounds stupid but it makes absolute sense in a corrupted country like Myanmar.

[usqueersdotcom]

Thank you for the explanation about the barriers of jewel necklaces and the token payments from the bride as she progresses through the line of the blockade of the wedding bed.

It is the same example set by the upper class less than 1% of the U.S., which is stealing all available cash from everywhere, even Myanmar, just as they've been planning and executing for years, but never on this scale before.

The differences are extreme of course between "poor" in the U.S. and "poor" in Myanmar.

[nudemyanmar]

The ugliest girl wedding!

[nick004]

can't believe people can be this greedy. Apparently this cost 3 times more than their national health budget

[norman995]

Fucking Myanmar juntas. Than Shwe needed to be jailed. Free Aung San Suu Kyi. Jailed all the fucking junta monkeys!

[freakian]

Three cheers for this video man!

I can't imagine that there is still such leaders in the 21th century, SHAME!

And myanmar is a good country, They deserve good leaders!

WASTED!!!
