CONGRATULATIONS TO " XMINY, A SEED-EU, BCN and HEINEKEN "


Dear XminusY, The Burma Centre Netherlands, A Seed-Europe and Heineken

We, Burmese, living inside and outside Burma appreciate your work in 
campaigning to get Heineken out of Burma very highly. We also 
congratulate Heineken for being able to make a morally correct decision.

We are impressed by *(1) your capacity to convince Heineken to do the 
                         right thing for Burma and its people

                    *(2) Heineken's flexibility to cope with the new 
			 situation which they have mentioned in 
                         their announcement.


One of my very good Dutch friends said when he visited Burma last summer, 
he was very sad to see huge Heineken's bill boards all around Rangoon, Mandalay 
and other big cities if not in every town of Burma, as if they were the 
green sky line of Burma horizon!!!Heineken now has promised that all 
these huge bill boards will be down!

What does it really means to Burmese ? Let me express it in one sentence.

	Might is not always right but RIGHTEOUSNESS is always MIGHTY!!!

With our heartfelt thanks to you and may peace and happiness will bestow 
upon you.
