By former Prime Minister U Nu
Excerpts from his speeche made soon after Bogyoke’s assassination

I want to explain how far we have now progressed on the path to Freedom along which Bogyoke had led us. As a preface to that, I want to explain Bogyoke’s political goal and the strategy he adopted to attain the goal. His political goal is no less than the setting up of Burma as a completely independent Republic.

As for his strategy he had been at such pains to explain it to the country that it is quite clear already. I shall repeat it only by way of remininding the masses. In order to win complete freedom he would first explore whatever chance of peaceful amicable settlement that might be there, to the utmost. If that failed, only then would he resort to force. That is the extremely clear statement of Bogyoke’s strategy. There are some who dislike this strategy. They believe that freedom can only be wrested by force.

For seeking peaceful amicable settlement Bogyoke was accused by his political opponents of kneeling down to the Imperialists. To those who know Bogyoke well, this accusation was merely laughable. Bogyoke was not a one-track minded politician. If the objective was to be gained only by voilence he was violent. If the objective could be gained by peaceful means, he chose peaceful means…..

You may well ask, why is such a fighter now treading the path of peace ? I think I can answer that question better than any other person. Although Bogyoke and I are not brothers by blood we are brothers in politics. Since 1935 we have been brothers-in-arms in political struggles. Each of us knows the other’s thoughts and actions intimately. Therefore, I know very well why Bogyoke, the fighter, is now treading the path of peace. There are three reasons:

1. World situation is changed now.
2. He desires friendly relations between Britain and Burma.
3. He does not wish to cause unnecessary suffering to the masses of Burma

Now for the third reason why Bogyoke chose the path of peace. It is because he had no wish to cause unnecessary suffering to the masses of Burma. They have suffered enough already after having become a battlefield twice over. Bogyoke could not bear the thought of causing them unnecessary suffering on top of their terrible sufferings. That was why he sought for the ways and means which would impose as little hardship as pollible on the masses.

In the teeth of the barrage of false accusations such as weak-kneed Bogyoke, capitulation Bogyoke, Imperialists’ stool-pigeon Bogyoke, from his political enemies, Bogyoke’s solicitude for the masses was unshaken. And so, that is the third reason why Bogyoke not only sought the peaceful means that would do the least possible hurt to the masses but also left directives for further ways and means of relieving the suffering of the masses…..

The latest web standards award has been given to “kevadamson.com” for it’s unique look and style.

Read the review here.

It was a well placed comment left here on the WSA that led me to Kev Adamson’s site and I am glad I went, it is a visual treat. Amongst all the super slick and shiny sites of today, it’s nice to see something so effortlessly scruffy but oozing style and attention to detail nonetheless.

I work tirelessly to ensure all my work is resolved and considered in every way, as I believe in high standards. This way of applying myself not only satisfies my own creative needs but, more importantly ensures that you, the client, receive quality and a service that will aid long term success and prosperity.

Check out his “web”, “illustration”, “graphics” and “animation” pages as well. I like the way he present his works. The torn paper effect is kind of interesting isn’t it?

I was really impressed with the launch of Google Map and now the amazing google has done it again.

Since last week my “nose” wanted to take a sick leave and I wouldn’t let it.
Though I know it works so hard through out the year, everyday, every minute, each and every second, I can’t spare one single day off for my dear nose. I just couldn’t cope without it.

So today it paired up with his buddy “throat” and took industrial action. Because their demands were not met and suffered many unfavorable condition, they had no choice but to take a rightful demonstration against me.

Their union raps, my head and my eyes, joined in very soon and gave me a big headache with heated arguments (sore eyes). My nose stopped transporting the normal stocks (O2, CO2) and started throwing wastes (blocked & running nose). Due to excessive damage I had to employ some guards to control the area. (tissues). My throat done the worst painful effect on me, refusing to accept any bribe (food) and shouted back at me (cough).

Due to their united action against me, my whole system messed up and had to seek some help from the emergency sector (Paracetamol). I decided to check upon their demands and see what I can do to fulfill some of it, such as :

• Improve working environment for “nose” (picking it regularly),
• Reducing night shift for my eyes and let him take day shift only (take good night sleeps)
• Some bonus for throat (eating vegetables, fruits & drinking juices)
• Reduce amount of work load for my head (not to think too much rubbish)
• Occasional functions for the whole team (exercise, movie etc).

I guess that should satisfy my “nose” and hopefully back to work again soon. Anymore suggestion on satisfying my team, do let me know.
