Response to MGG Pillai (r)

Mr. M.G.G. Pillai,

	If you know what happened in my country in 1988, you would not 
ask this question.  There was no election to vote in 1988; however, 
millions of burmese people nation wide demonstrated against the military 
dictatorship, thousands of them lost their lives, were arrested and 
being tortured to prove the point that we no longer wish to stay under 
the dictatorship.

	Also, the election in 1990 was held to transfer the power to the 
democraticly elected party, not to write the constitution.  NLD won the  
election landslide, and SLORC which represented the military 
dictatorship lost misearably.  Military government then ask NLD to write a new 
constitution, not in the terms of people but in the terms of SLORC, to delay 
the process of transferring the power as long as possible. 

	If you are not aware of that, then BE AWARE!!!
