Where is the pressure from ASEAN, UN and WEST etc. to change election law, to be inclusive?

မတရားတဲ့ ေရြးေကာက္ပဲြ ဥပေဒေတြ ျပင္ဖုိ႔၊ အားလုံးပါဝင္ႏုိင္ဖုိ႔ ႏုိင္ငံတကာ ဖိအားေတြ ဘယ္ေရာက္သြားျပီလဲ။

Or just to bag SPDC for free and fair in dictator’s standard.

ဒါမွမဟုတ္ အာဏာရွင္ေတြရဲ့ အတုအေယာင္ လြတ္လပ္မွ်တပါတယ္ဆုိရုံ ေရြးေကာက္ပဲြျဖစ္ဖုိ႔ ဝုိင္းေတာင္းပန္ေနမွာလား။

Where is voice that concern/to change for Nargis Constitution?

မတရားတဲ့ နာဂစ္ဖဲြ႕စည္းပုံ ျပင္ဖို႔ အသံေတြေကာ ဘယ္ေရာက္သြားျပီလဲ။

Has the call been obsolete in that much quickly?

ဒီအသံေတြက အ့ံၾသစရာေကာင္းေလာက္ေအာင္ ဒီေလာက္ျမန္ျမန္ဆန္ဆန္ႀကီး ေပ်ာက္ကြယ္သြားျပီလား။

Who care what suffered in Burma?

ျမန္မာျပည္သူေတြ ခံစားေနရတာကုိ ဘယ္သူက ဘယ္ေလာက္ ဂရုစုိက္ၾကမွာလဲ။

Are we rhetoric-happy dream-walkers or realists?

က်ဳပ္တုိ႔သည္ အိပ္မက္ေတြထဲမွာ ဟိန္းလုိက္ ေဟာက္လုိက္ ျခိမ္းလုိက္ ေခ်ာက္လုိက္ လုပ္ေနရတာကုိဘဲ ေပ်ာ္ေနၾကသလုိ ျဖစ္မေနဘူးလား။ ျဖစ္ခ်င္တာေတြႏွင့္ ျဖစ္ေနတာေတြကုိ ပကတိ အရွိအတုိင္း ခဲြျခား သိျမင္သူမ်ားလား။

Rights Groups Want Indonesia to Press Burma on Democratic Reform

Brian Padden | Jakarta08 April 2010

Human rights groups are calling on Indonesia to urge Burma to ensure its coming election is free and fair at a meeting of Southeast Asian leaders.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has said that Indonesia will promote democracy. And human rights groups in Asia want him to make good on that pledge by pressing Burma's military government to hold free and fair elections.

Mr. Yudhoyono meets Thursday and Friday in Vietnam the leaders of Burma and the other members of the Association of Southeast Asia Nations.

Elaine Pearson, with Human Rights Watch, wrote an open letter to the Indonesian foreign minister calling on him to press for reform in Burma. She says Indonesia has both the experience and credibility to influence the Burmese leadership.

"Because Indonesia is the leading member of ASEAN and it has been a strong and principled voice on the human rights situation in Burma, and because of its own history and transition from a military-led government to a democracy. Really this puts Indonesia in a very strong position to be listened to by the Burmese generals," she said.

Burma has been ruled by the military for most of the past six decades. The government plans to hold elections this year but has yet to set a date.

The last time the country's leaders agreed to hold elections was in 1990. The opposition National League for Democracy won, but the military refused to recognize the results of the race.

The NLD is boycotting the coming elections over election laws they say are restrictive and undemocratic. The laws prohibit registered parties from having political prisoners in their ranks.

The NLD's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, has been detained for most of the past 20 years, as have several other party officials.

ASEAN members are divided on how to respond to Burma, which is under European Union and United States sanctions because of its poor human rights record. ASEAN has a policy of not interfering in the internal affairs of its members.

Yuyun Wahyuningrum, with the aid group Oxfam says, at this week's summit, the political security community will for the first time discuss possible sanctions for members that violate the ASEAN human rights charter.

But she says since ASEAN operates by consensus, it is unlikely they will take any punitive actions.

"In one way or another they will talk about sanctions, but I am not sure about the result because being a family and being living in harmony is one of the principles in ASEAN," she said.

Still, she is hopeful that over time diplomatic engagement and increasing pressure from democratic neighbors like Indonesia can help Burma make a peaceful transition to democracy.
