Numbers of Rich increasing in Burma

Messenger Journal reported that numbers of rich people increased in Burma as shown in the following snippet.

According to GDP per capita (nominal), Burma is a very "rich" country (quoating Messenger).

In reality, Burma's GDP per capita is lower than world's poorest countries. It shows that Burma is "poorer than the poorest".

GDP per capita of Burma = $ 571
GDP per capita of Bangladesh = $ 641
GDP per capita of Somalia = $ 600

Based on this GDP data, Burma is one of the world's "richest" country (as told by Messenger) where numbers of rich people are increasing day by day.

Actually, the clever ruling military junta is making Burma to be poorer than Bangladesh and Somalia within 22 years!

South Korea to Develop Rare Earths, Resources With Burma

Dec. 26 (Bloomberg) -- South Korea will cooperate with Burma to dip up all the mineral resources in Burma including rare-earth minerals as it seeks to secure supplies amid rising raw material prices.

The two countries agreed to conduct a geological study and develop projects, South Korea’s Ministry of Knowledge Economy said in a statement today.

South Korea, which imports almost all its energy and minerals needs, is increasing spending on resources projects to line up supplies Burma which will lead Burma to lose all the natural resources in near future.

Vice Minister Park Young June asked Burma, during his Dec. 23 visit, to let South Korean companies explore for oil and gas onshore, which is currently prohibited to foreign companies, the ministry said.

A group of companies led by South Korean trading house Daewoo International Corp., is developing gas resources in Burma’s A1 and A3 offshore blocks.

Burmese is descended from Brahma- Scholars said

Two Burmese scholars said that "Bamah (Burmese)" is derived from "Brahma" as mentioned in their following quotations.

Their suggestion was contradicted to "Man Shu" Histroy written by Fan Ch'o of T'ang Chinese (Translated by G.H. Luce and edited by G. P. Oey) where "Burmese" or "Myanmar" people were mentioned as "Man Chao" ethnic group, the origin of "Myan". Later, Burmese or Myanmar are called as Miǎndiàn (Myan-kyint) (缅甸) or Myan nationalities, Professor Tan Ei Chauk who prefers the use of "Myan-kyint" said.

Dr Amatra Gosh of Calcutta University suggested that "Burmese" can probably be derived from "Brahma"; however, he was not content with "Brahma" theory. He said that it is not appropriate for "Burmese" to be derived from "Brahma", the creator of the Universe. He suggested that "Burmese" also known as "Burman" is more likely to be derived from "Brahman", a noble class in India.

Moe Dee underwent Plastic Surgery

Burmese famous comedian and actor Moe Dee had undergone a Plastic Surgery in United States of America. Being attracted by Michael Jackson, Moe Dee changed his skin colour from yellow to black and reduced lots of his body-weights by means of Plastic Surgery. Before Surgery, he was extremely fat.

"I feel very light after this surgery. I was always thinking to hop like monkeys and frogs. When I was fat, I could not do like that because of my over-weight. After surgery, I am a thin man and I can hop. Now onwards, I will sing Hip-hop", Moe Dee told Burma Strange News.

Moe Dee explained that he changed his skin colour to black because of his admiration to Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and Barack Obama.

Job Opportunities- Only for Girls

Job Vacancies in Burma are reserved only for girls- a CEO of CB bank said after pointing this photograph. A survey conducted by Burma Strange News pointed out that all jobs in Burma have appointed girls for 99% of their vacancies. There is no vacancy for young men.


However, there is the only vacancy for young man in Burma. It is a small space to hang up at the back of the passenger pick-up trucks which are used as mini-buses for transportation in Burma. As there is no space inside the vehicles, it is normal for Burmese young men to hang up at the back of the passenger trucks.

Santa Claus marching to Naypyidaw...

....

Santa Claus was marching towards Naypyidaw, the capital of Burmese generals, in the morning of today, 25 December 2010, Christmas Day. On the way of Santa Claus, Burmese artillary launched their anti-aircraft missiles to Santa Claus; however, the Christmas Grandpa was free from the missiles.

Merry Christmas and Burmese Bloggers

Blogger Zarny Win reported this morning Christmas Eve about some Burmese bloggers' thoughts to become vocalists. He said that the following songs motivated those bloggers to become singers.

Zaganar to change his religion

Zaganar, a Burmese famous comedian, told his friend U San Baw inside the prison that he might change his religon when he is freed, Moemakha Media reported.

His talk, probably a joke, applied to the oppression of Buddhism by the ruling junta. Zaganar was arrested because he made "good deeds" according to Buddhism by donating the Nargis Cyclone victims.

Burmese military regime cracked down the Buddhist monks who peacefully recited the Buddhist scriptures and expressed their loving kindness to the Burmese people during the "Saffaron Revolution" in 2007.

No "Torch Light" in Naypyidaw

According to a news report of Moemakha Media, all electric torches carried to Naypyidaw, the capital of Burma, are being confiscated by Railway authorities at Pyinmana Station, near Naypyidaw, as there is a rumour spreading that aliens from Mars are going to attack the capital by using Unknown Rays Flashlights Guns.

"Electric torches are confiscated because they are very similar to Unknown Rays Flashlight Guns of aliens", a senior officer told BS News.

Thai Gov is planning to apprehend Alaungphaya's supporters

Alaungphaya's comrades attacking Bangkok

Thai goverment is planning to arrest Red-shirts because they are the strong supporters of Burmese king Alaungphaya, a high ranking officer of Thai Government said yesterday.

"There are four types of Students' Clubs in Burmese elementary and secondary schools, namely, Kyansittha, Bayinnaung, Alaungphaya and Bandoola. Different colors are divided for each club - Yellow for Kyansittha, Green for Bayinnaung, Red for Alaungphaya and Blue for Bandoola. So, it is clear that Red-shirts belong to Alaungphaya Club of Burma", he added.

The officer firmly stated that supporters of Alaungphaya are destroyers of Thailand as Burmese King Alaungphaya (AD 1752-1760) destroyed many parts of Thailand. Regarding Yellow-shirts, he said, "It is acceptable because Yellow represents Kyansittha (AD 1084-1113) who did not invade Thailand". He told BS News that Thai government is ready to crush down if there appears Green-shirts movements. "Green color is for Bayinnaung Club. As Hongsawati Bayinnaung (AD 1551-1581) colonized Thailand, it is utterly impossible for Thai government to accept Bayinnaung supporters", he said.

In 2008, Kyansittha Club members - Yellow-shirts - seized the Suvarnabhumi Airport as they mistakenly thought that Suvarnabhumi was the Mon city of Tha-hton. In history, Kyansittha's troops conquered Suvarnabhumi City (Tha-hton), Lower Burma, in AD 1057. Subsequently, Alaungphaya Club also plundered Bangkok in the first half of this year.

The military regime is planning to open more universities and colleges- around 4,828 in number- in 2011; therefore, the total number of universities and colleges will be 5,000 in Burma. As a result, number of Burma's universities and colleges will be higher than USA, that has only 4,128 universities and colleges.

Uranium effects Burmese Men's heads

Many young men in Burma are suffering the effects of "Uranium"- Rangoon based "Bi-Weekly Eleven" Journal of Eleven Media Group reported.

In the photograph of the journal, severely deteriorated heads of of many young men because of "Uranium" effects, can be seen. However, the photograph shows that "Uranium" cannot effect the heads of Burmese ladies.
"It is pretty much amazing! I do not understand why "Uranium" is not effective on the Burmese women", a uranium analyst said.

News in "Bi-Weekly Eleven" is the first to mention about "Uranium" after Wikileaks' revelations about "Secret Nuclear Programs" and "the discovery of Uranium" in Burma, the country that is always censoring the news which is sensative to the ruling military regime.

Burmese expert predicts about an earthquake in Burma

"Popular Journal" reported that there will happen an earthquake in Burma in coming January 2011 quoting the verbal predictions of Zayar Ko, CEO of Burmese Astrology and Vedic Association.

The report is based on the predictions of an astrologer- not on the scientific calculations of Seismologists.

According to "Popular Journal", it can be concluded that Burmese are the cleverest and the most intelligent people in the world because they know about forthcoming earthquakes that will surely happen in Burma in Januray 2011.

It is definitely impossible for the World Class Seismologists to know when the earthquakes will happen. They can only know within a few seconds in advance with the help of scientific equipments.

Burmese famous Journal reported about UFO in Rangoon

"Popular Journal", one of the most famous news journal in Burma, - which normally figures the correct and true events- reported about UFO- Unidentified Flying Objects- yesterday.

The news in the journal about the finding of a UFO in Northern Dagon Myothit Township, Rangoon, is utterly astonishing because it is neither a "Jokes Journal" nor a "Comic Journal".

WikiLeaks says Sinapore's Lee says Burma 'stupid'

A classified U.S. document released by WikiLeaks cites Singapore statesman Lee Kuan Yew as calling Burma's junta leaders stupid and dense.

A confidential briefing on a 2007 conversation between former Prime Minister Lee and U.S. officials was released by WikiLeaks.

It quotes Lee as saying that dealing with Burma's military regime was like talking to dead people.

Ambassador Patricia L. Herbold wrote that Lee said China had the most influence over Burma's leadership of any foreign country. Lee also says China is worried the country could blow up, which would threaten Chinese investments.

In response to Lee Kuan Yew's remarks, Burma's junta is planning to nick-name the future president and vice-presidents of Burma as "Mr Alive", "Mr Clever" and "Mr Sharp"; therefore, Lee will not be able to say that Burmese leaders are "stupid" or "dense" or "dead bodies".

Myanmese Evolution Theory

(Special Theory of Burma Strange News)

Equation 1. Origin of Mankind is Myanmese (SLORC’s primate theory)
Therefore,
Human evolved from Myanmese (Interpretation of SLORC’s theory)

Equation 2. Human evolved from Ape [apes-like ancestors] (Interpretation of Darwin’s theory)

From Equation 1 & 2,
Myanmese = Ape (New discovery/ Theory 1)

Proving the theory, (evolution of Myanmese)
Apes > Monkeys
Monkeys > Monyese
Monyese > Monmese
Monmese > Myonmese
Myonmese> Myanmese

Equation 3. Myanmese evolved from Ape (Theory 2)
(Again, Equation 2, Human evolved from Ape)

From Equation 2 & 3,
Myanmese = Human (Alternative Theory) --- Equation 4.
Therefore, Myanmese is Human

Again, Equation 2,
Human evolved from Ape

Substituting Equation 4 (Myanmese = Human) in Equation 2,
Myanmese evolved from Ape (Second Evidence, and proof of Theory 2)

(This BS News’ Derived Evolution Theory was discovered by Research Group of Burma Strange News Team)

Abhisit will believe "Burma's Nuke Programs" only when BKK is attacked with Nuke War-heads by the Burmese

Thai's PM Abhisit Vejjajiva has dismissed claims in a leaked US cable that Burma is building a nuclear programme with help from North Korea.

Mr Abhisit said yesterday there was no evidence to support the accusation that Burma possesses or is producing a nuclear weapon.

He said "I will believe Burma's nuclear programs only when Bangkok is attacked with nuclear war-heads by the Burmese military regime"

A Burmese family re-discover a mouse in USA

A report that a toddler had been bitten by a mouse or rat would cause most Americans fear and outrage.

When Dr. Charles Coats – who treated 19-month-old Sage Dar for the bite – learned what had caused it, he was incensed.

“You just don’t hear about rats or mice in the United States attacking babies,” Coats said. “You should never have to worry about your baby being bitten in your own home.”

But the rodent – residents were unsure whether it was a rat or a really big mouse – seemed to be only another irritant in a life that, while much better than the government oppression of their home in Myanmar or the squalid refugee camps afterward, is fraught with difficulties.

It’s a story oft repeated throughout the history of America, a country that has welcomed the huddled masses: A melting pot’s makeup is always changed by new ingredients, and it can take some effort on both sides to achieve harmony.

Be Ki, Sage Dar’s mother, lives in Autumn Woods Apartments on the city’s far southeast side with her three children, while her husband works in Illinois. She speaks no English.

Through a translator, she said she believed that if she complained about the rodents to the apartments’ management, the problem would be addressed. But she has not complained.

Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is ruled by a military junta that violently stamps out dissent. There has not been a free and fair election there in decades. Recent refugees, thrust into U.S. society – there are an estimated 6,000 Burmese in Fort Wayne – often keep to themselves, even when help is available.

“She doesn’t want to make a fuss about it,” the translator said.

Carla Washington, who has managed the complex near South Anthony Boulevard and Paulding Road for 14 years, said the complex has an ongoing contract with a pest control firm that immediately takes care of problems about which management is aware – in addition to preventive treatments.

“Most residents are pretty good about telling us if there’s problems,” Washington said. “But sometimes Orkin will come back from an apartment and say, ‘Well, there’s 50 pounds of rice sitting out.’ So then we have to explain to them how to keep their food sealed, so you don’t have issues.”

As to residents making complaints, Washington said she would rather hear them.

“It’s better to make a fuss,” she said, so issues such as rodents can be addressed.

Translator Zin Oo, who also lives in the complex, agreed that complex managers are quick to respond.

“They fix things immediately,” Zin Oo said. “But most people don’t bother asking.”

Washington said residents may not realize they can ask for help at any time. Often, she said, they will wait until the beginning of the month, when they pay their rent, to say something is broken.

She was disturbed to hear that a child had been bitten.

“I feel so bad,” she said. “I wish I had known.”

Be Ki’s building was already scheduled for a pest control inspection this Wednesday, Washington said, but that will now be done as soon as possible.

She said that as the complex’s clientele became largely Burmese three years ago, it has been an educational experience for everyone. Recent immigrants have had to learn how to make their way in a bewildering new society, and management has had to learn about which issues it needs to watch because of tenants’ lack of familiarity. For example, plumbing that you cannot pour cooking grease into.

Some previous tenants moved out, she said, but those who have stayed say they appreciate the Burmese who have moved in and feel they’ve made it a better community.

“You don’t want to take their culture away from (immigrants), but we do try to help acclimate them,” she said. “There’s a lot behind the scenes we try to do. We’re like social workers and landlords here.”

On Thursday, most of the trash bins in the complex did not have lids on them, which provides a ready food source for rodents. When informed of the issue Friday, National Serv-All spokesman Bob Young said crews would be on site within an hour making sure every trash bin had lids. He expected the work to be done by Friday evening, and a check showed that it was.

“That’s part of the service we provide,” Young said. “We provide (the trash bins) and we maintain them. … If they don’t have lids, we’ll fix it.”

Holding Sage Dar – who eyed a reporter and photographer suspiciously while eating Shrimp Snacks – Be Ki said she is glad to be here and feels that she is beginning to fit in. As for the rodents, she said she keeps her food sealed in containers and hasn’t seen any lately, though she sometimes hears them in the walls.

Will she let management know about the problem?

Yes, she said.

Washington said it’s important to remember that issues that arise are not a “Burmese problem,” but simply an acclimation problem. Anyone would have difficulty fitting in to a new culture, and everyone involved needs to learn as they go.

“It’s going to take a whole community effort to make this work,” she said. But it is working. Crime has almost disappeared, she said, and the complex now has a new cultural richness. “Each year it gets better,” she said.

Electricity blackout in Rangoon because of heat waves

A senior electricity department officer told BS News that electirical power distribution in Rangoon was cut off last year because of heat waves that passed the largest city in Burma.

"Because of over heat, many people wanna drink iced-water that can cause them throat problems. Moreover, people want to use airconditioners due to surrounding high temperature because of heat waves. The over use of aircons can make people suffered from stroke. If there is no electricity at all, they cannot run their fridges and aircons. So, there would be no severe problems for the people. Thinking about it carefully, we decided to blackout the whole city of Rangoon. It is for the advantage of the people."- a senior officer said.

Car Black Box System for Bus

Car Black Box System (CBBS) that records the abnormal behaviours of passengers is being planned to install inside the passenger-buses in Rangoon. CBBS system will especially record the action of abnormal and crazy womaninzing male passengers who are used to touch the hips of women passengers from the back. Such kind of molest normally happens inside the corwded buses in Rangoon during rush hours. The system is hoped to further prevent such kind of abnormal, crazy and mentally-illed activities of some male passengers.

Wikileaks: How "Rice" influenced Gambari's sack from Burma

US diplomatic cables revealed by Wikileads mentioned that Ibrahim Gambari, a UN special envoy to Burma, was sacked from his job because he ate too much "rice" which led him to become an over-weighed diplomat. The cables stated that his duties had been forced to stop because of his over-weight which was not appropriate for the dignity of the world's prestigeous organization, ie., United Nations.

It is learned that Gambari had eaten not only too much rice but also too much bribes in Burma from the military junta.

RNDP chairman does not read newspapers

Aye Maung, Chairman of Rakhine Nationalities Development Party (RNDP) which won 35 seats in Burma's 2010 elections, told Demorcatic Voice of Burma (DVB) that he never reads daily newspapers as quoted in the following news-snippet of DVB's webpage in Burmese.

He said, "We do not read such kind of newspapers. Because, only the date of issue is correct. Many people say that nothing in the newspapers is true except obituaries. However, even such kind of news are not exactly correct. For example, some Chinese people are used to add two years- one year in the sky and one year in the hell- to the exact age of the deseased person. Therefore, we can say that even obituaries are not the true ones in the newspapers. So, why do we need to read the newspapers only to look at the dates".

New Reinforced Concrete Technology applied in Burma

A senior engineer of the Myanmar Engineering Society (MES) told BS News that Burmese engineers have successfully invented a new concrete techonlogy known as "Bambo-reinforced Concrete Technoogy". In this technology, bamboo-poles will be used in replacement of the iron-bars that had previously been applied for reinforcement of the concrete buildings. He said it will reduce a lot of cost for not using the iron-bars. Rangoon City Development Committee declares that all buildings that will be constructed in Rangoon starting from 1 January 2011 must apply this new technology as part of the austerity plans of Burma.

Burma's Chinese aircraft became a handicap after "his" leg broken

Three handicapped Burmese aircrafts at Rangoon airport

A "Myanma Airways" passenger plane from Tavoy in southern Burma, skidded off a runway upon landing at Rangoon International Airport and became a handicap after one of its legs was broken on 7 December 2010, an official said.

The Xian MA60 left runway at around 11 a.m., but there were no casualties, a management department official at the airport administered by the Ministry of Transport confirmed. Now, the airplane's broken leg is undergoing medical treatments at the Chinese indigenous medical clinic, the official added.

The turboprop aircraft Xian MA60 is widely used in Zimbabwe, the world's poorest country.

Three on-ground incidents involving the plane during take-off or landing occurred last year; two at the Godofredo P. Ramos Airport in the Philippines and one at Harare International Airport when an Air Zimbabwe MA60 hit five warthogs on take-off.

Burma will participate in SE Asian Shooting Competation

Burma will take part in the Shooting Competation organized by Southeast Asian Shooting Associaton (SEASA) which will be held from 10 to 18 December 2010 in Jakarta. It will be the first time in 20 years for Burma to participate again in this competation. Kyaw Moe Win, secretary of Burma Shooting Association told BSNews that it is really difficult for him to select 8 participants out of 492,000 shooters who have been well trained how to shoot directly to a Japanese journalist during the Saffaron Revolution in 2007.

Burma has been banned from participating in shooting competitations in Olympics Games for 22 years since 1988 because of the country's highest shooting record in the world.

Ko Htein Lin gave hints for "Two-digits" Lottery

Ko Htein Lin aka Kim Aris, a younger son of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi left Rangoon this morning around 9 AM. Before leaving the country of Burma, he gave two hints for the Burmese "Two-digits" lottery or luckydraw addicts. Ko Htein Lin's T-shirt was depicted with a white bird surrounded by some English characters which are very similar to "two-digits" lottery numbers.

The number above the bird is very close to "02" while the number under the white bird can be interpreted either 22 or 27 if one looks at unit digit in clock-wise direction.

BS News reporter in Rangoon reported that the winning number on 7 December 2010 (morning) is 02 and the evening winning number is 27. It is really amazing!!

Due to economic deterioration in the country, many Burmese people are gambling "two-digits" every day by hoping to get extra money in their daily lives. But, it leads them poorer and poorer.

Junta 'eyed Man Utd buy'

Burmese military commander-in-chief Than Shwe was reportedly advised by his grandson to look into the possibility of buying the Manchester United football club. --

LONDON - ENGLISH football giants Manchester United were once the target of a takeover by the Burmese military junta, according to an American diplomatic document revealed by whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks.

A cable sent from the US embassy in Rangoon to Washington, details of which have been published on the website of British daily newspaper the Guardian, revealed military commander-in-chief Than Shwe was advised by his grandson before January 2009 to look into the possibility of buying United.

The cable said an offer of US$1 billion (S$1.3 billion) was under consideration before being scrapped in favour of creating a new football league in the troubled Asian nation.

This proposal, which never became an offer to United's American-based owners the Glazer family, was reportedly motivated by a desire to draw attention away from domestic issues such as the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis, which led to around 140,000 deaths in 2008.

The Guardian quoted the cable as saying: 'One well-connected source reports that the grandson wanted Than Shwe to offer US$1 billion for Manchester United.

'The senior general thought that sort of expenditure could look bad, so he opted to create for Burma a league of its own.' -- AFP

Post-Modernism Historical Theories for Burma

Some writers wrote that Nga Ya Man Kan, an ethnic Mon governor of Pegu city from Lower Burma was a Muslim Arab whose name was "Rahman Khan".
(See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmese_Muslims#Nga_Yaman_Kan)

As soon as hearing above new historical theory, History Professors from Beijing University immediately said that "Kyan Sit Tha", the third historic king of Pagan dynasty (AD 1044-1287) was a Chinese descended from "Kyan" lineage. They prove that "Kyan Gyaung", inspector to the justice Bao, was a relative of Kyan Sit Tha because they possess the same Family name.

Controversial archaeological artifacts discovered in Burma

Rangoon, Nov 28 (IANS) Archaeologists in Burma have discovered parts of a religious building and a wall that circled an ancient town dating back to 100 B.C. during the Pyu era, a media report said Sunday.

Many bamboo sticks were found after an excavation in two sites in Wadee in central Myanmar during July-August this year, Xinhua reported citing the official daily New Light of Myanmar.

Dr Tan Ei Chauk, Professor of Chinese studies at Beijing university said that the bamboo sticks were the chopsticks used by Tu dynasty in China.

Tambawaddy U Win Maung, a Burmese scholar in Mandalay said in another way. "The new find showed that the bamboo sticks were tooth-picks used by King Dottabaung during the time of the Pyu era (100 B.C.-840 A.D.)", he confirmed.

However, a local resident by the name of Pho Maung told BS News that he left many toiliet-sticks (the same working function as toilet papers) used by his family near the excavation site. Therefore, the bambo sticks belong to his family, he added.
