SLORC said ......
Burma's top general said today that it was time to crush the
stooges of colonialists who were harming development of the nation.
In a May Day message, General Than Shwe said traitors inside and
outside the country wee trying to ruin Burma by turning it over to
neo-colonialists.
He said lackeys of colonialists within Burma were trying to stop
the flow of technology and investment from outside the country that was
necessary to help improve living satandard and contribute towards
national development.
Senior Burmese officials regularly refer to Ms Suu Kyi and her
opposition National League for democracy as lackeys or minions of the West.
