Xinhua: Mekong Meeting on Refugees Opens in Myanmar

YANGON, April 2 (Xinhua) -- The Second Mekong Sub-Regional Meeting of 
the Asia-Pacific Consultations on Refugees, Displaced Persons and 
Migrants opened here Monday. The two-day meeting is attended by 
delegates of China, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar as well as 
representatives of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. The meeting 
is aimed at enhancing exchange of experiences and information issues 
relating to cross-border migration. 

Speaking at the opening of the meeting, Myanmar Minister of Immigration 
and Population U Saw Tun stressed that sound and comprehensive judicial, 
legislative, and executive systems play important roles in the 
reconstruction of civil society relating to repatriation and 
reintegration. Information sharing is an indispensable key to developing 
better understanding of the migration situation across the region, he 
said, adding that economic disparity, poverty and degradation of 
environmental conditions have an impact on the size and flow of 
irregular migration. He noted that the issue of irregular migration is 
globally prevalent and persistent, adding that consultations between 
countries, based on mutual understanding, equity and goodwill, will 
facilitate the approach to orderly migration. 

He is convinced that further problems will not arise if all countries 
respect each other's sovereignty, existing laws and international 
practices, saying that inter-governmental cooperation and collaboration 
in tackling this issue will bring forth tangible results. He pointed out 
that one of the root causes of irregular migration is lack of 
development which calls for international assistance and collaboration 
for sustainable development. He said Myanmar wishes to stress the 
importance of international cooperation and responsibility sharing in 
protecting the rights of refugees and migrants. He pledged that Myanmar 
will have full cooperation and collaboration with countries across the 
Asia-Pacific region including Mekong countries and neighboring ones.

AP: Myanmar: Lack of development causes migration 

April 2, 2001

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) _ Myanmar's immigration minister appealed Monday 
for more development assistance and international cooperation to protect 
the rights of refugees and displaced persons. 

 ``One of the root causes of irregular migration is lack of development, 
therefore relevant international assistance and collaboration are 
essential,'' said Saw Tun, minister for immigration and population. 

 He was speaking at a two-day meeting in Yangon on the problem of 
displaced persons and cross-border migration. Officials are attending 
from six nations of the Mekong sub-region: Cambodia, China, Laos, 
Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. 

 ``Myanmar wishes to stress the importance of international cooperation 
and responsibility sharing in protecting the rights of refugees and 
migrants,'' said Saw Tun. 
 He said that problems related to ``irregular migration'' across the 
world ``will not arise if all countries respect each other's 
sovereignty, existing laws and international practices.'' 

 Hundreds of thousands of mostly ethnic minority villagers have fled 
military-run Myanmar for Thailand, Bangladesh and other neighboring 
countries in the past two decades, often claiming mistreatment by 
Myanmar forces. 

 International human rights groups say civilians have escaped fighting 
between government forces and ethnic insurgents or forced relocation. 
Many more have migrated illegally to find work or been displaced inside 
Myanmar. 
 Myanmar says it is trying to develop border regions where minorities 
live but is starved of development assistance. Most countries stopped 
giving aid to Myanmar, also known as Burma, after a violent military 
crackdown against pro-democracy demonstrators in 1988.

Telegraph (UK): PoW victim's daughter wins battle with Burma

By David Sapsted

April 4, 2001 
 

  THE ashes of the widow of a soldier who died in a Japanese 
prisoner-of-war camp are to be scattered at his grave after her daughter 
won an eight-year battle with the Burmese authorities.
Ida Smith, who died in 1993 aged 77, was never able to visit the grave 
of her husband, Bill, a lance corporal who was captured during the fall 
of Singapore and died in December 1943, working as slave labour.

After repeated attempts to obtain a visa to honour her mother's last 
wish to be reunited with him, Carol Cooper, 61, has finally been granted 
one. She and her husband, Ron, will make the journey to the cemetery at 
Thanbyuzayat, Burma, later this month.

"My mother could never have afforded to go to the grave herself and, in 
any case, the government in Burma banned visitors for many years," said 
Mrs Cooper, from Gorleston, near Great Yarmouth. In 1996, Mrs Cooper 
reached Thailand before being refused entry into Burma. "I was 
absolutely devastated," she said.

She will take with her a 104-page diary inscribed to her mother in which 
her father, who served with the Royal Norfolk Regiment, recorded the 
horrors of life as a PoW working on building the "Railway of Death" 
through Burma and Thailand.

Entries tell of forced marches to remote jungle camps and of epidemics 
of cholera, dysentery, beri-beri and malaria. In June, 1943, Lance Cpl 
Smith wrote: "It has rained every day since I have been here. It's 
hellish, mud everywhere. Food shortages. Two meals of half a mug of 
gravy and half a mug of rice."

Two weeks later, he observed: "There have been 167 deaths this month so 
far and the record was 28 in one night. It is simply a case of murder . 
 . . The poor chaps are simply stripped and dumped eight to a grave."

The last entry, written on Dec 8, 1943, nine days before he died, says 
simply: "At the present time having a bad spell with malaria."

Xinhua: Myanmar Leader Stresses Need for Technical Advances 



YANGON, April 1 


Myanmar leader Lieutenant-General Khin Nyunt has stressed the need to 
place emphasis on technical advances and strong economy, calling on his 
country people to work for the goal in unity and with might and main, 
official newspaper The New Light of Myanmar reported Sunday. 

Speaking at an annual general meeting here of the Union of Myanmar 
Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UMFCCI), Khin Nyunt, 
First Secretary of the Myanmar State Peace and Development Council, said 
that science and technologies are advancing at a blistering pace and 
globalization is taking place under the present international situation. 


He noted that every nation is making all-out efforts to uplift their 
national economic life and not to lag behind others in the process of 
international development. 

He blamed that some developed nations, that have gained the upper hand 
in terms of technology and economy, have come to use their advances in 
technology and strong wealth as a weapon, as a result of which, he 
added, the gap of technology and wealth among the nations in the world 
is getting wider and wider. 

He pinpointed that it is a significant condition of the world today that 
some developing nations, that want to safeguard against inequality of 
opportunity for economic development, have come to place emphasis on 
cooperation on a mutually beneficial basis rather than economic 
competition and formed  economic cooperation organizations. 

Accordingly, he said, Myanmar is striving for the improvement of 
national economic life in the international front, cooperating with 
regional economic organizations. 

The UMFCCI, which represents all the Myanmar businesses of national 
entrepreneurs, has joined the Paris-based International CCI and ASEAN 
CCI and has also signed memorandums of understanding with 18 
organizations from 13 countries.

The Nation: Burma Strengthens Border Following Karen Attack

Monday, April 2, 2001



Kyodo.

Burma's junta deployed three battalions of special forces equipped with 
mortars, armoured acrs and helicopters to the eastern border near 
Thailand's Three Pagoda Pass in Kanchanaburi following an offensive by 
Karen rebels that left 10 Burmese soldiers and two engineers dead, Thai 
officials at the border said on Saturday.

The Karen National Union rebels launched a guerrilla attack on Friday 
against a construction team building the Phayathonzu-Thanphyuzayut 
highway in eastern Burma, taking two engineers hostage.


Burma's military then deployed a group led by Captain Saw Tin to rescue 
the hostages,
but after heavy fighting the government troops lost the two hostages and 
another 10 personnel, including Saw Tin, said to be a nephew of Army 
chief General Maung Aye.

AFP: Fate of Myanmar pro-democracy activist in Malaysia unclear 

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 (AFP) - Fears that Malaysia will deport a Myanmar 
pro-democracy activist remained real on Monday as the UN refugee agency 
said it has yet to interview him in police custody. 

 The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has said it 
wants to interview Peter Hee Man to assess whether he should be granted 
refugee status in Malaysia. 

 "We are trying to get the UN protection officer to interview him next 
week," a UNHCR official told AFP Monday. 

 The UNHCR and human rights groups have urged the government not to 
deport Hee Man as they fear for the activist's safety at the hands of 
Myanmar's ruling military junta. 

 Hee Man and three Malaysians were arrested on March 27 after some 20 
activists gatecrashed a Myanmar embassy party and stripped off to reveal 
T-shirts emblazoned with the image of Myanmar's pro-democracy leader 
Aung San Suu Kyi, under house arrest in Yangon since September. 

 The three Malaysians were detained overnight and then released. 

 One of them, K.P. Lee of the Burma Solidarity Group Malaysia, urged the 
UNHCR not to delay the interview. 

 "Time is running out. Hee Man has been in custody for almost a week. 
Any further delay will put him in danger of deportation. He may be 
classified as illegal and deported," he told AFP. 

 Lee said that UNHCR protection officer Shinji Kubo, who has the 
authority to accord Hee Man refugee status, had told him early on Monday 
that the UNHCR has not been able to fix an interview date with Hee Man. 

 Kubo is away attending a seminar in the eastern state of Sabah on 
Borneo island. 
 Lee said Hee Man told him he while they were being held together that 
he fears deportation. 

 "His intention is to be safely resettled in a third country. Being 
deported to Burma is something he does not want," he said. 

 The human rights group Aliran said last week that to deport Hee Man 
would be "an inhuman act that would condemn him to torture or even death 
at the hands of the ruthless Burmese military junta." 

 Another rights group Altsean-Burma said it also had "grave concerns" 
for the safety of Hee Man should he fall into the hands of Myanmar's 
ruling State Peace and Development Council.

Bangkok Post: Wattanachai keen on closer ties

April 2, 2001

First dialogue since recent standoff



The Third Army Region commander wants to forge closer ties with Burmese 
military leaders at the Regional Border Committee meeting, which begins 
today after three years of postponements.

The talks, in Burma's Kengtung town, will be the first dialogue between 
the two neighbours since the recent border standoff involving Thai and 
Burmese troops in Chiang Rai.

Lt-Gen Wattanachai Chaimuengwong, Third Army commander, emphasised 
efforts to forge closer personal ties with his Burmese counterpart 
Lt-Gen Thein Sein.

Informal talks will be held on the golf course during the two-day 
meeting.

A source said Lt-Gen Wattanachai would seek the release of two Thai 
soldiers captured by Rangoon in return for the hand-over of 40 detained 
Burmese soldiers.

The committee agreements are due to be signed on Wednesday.

On the Thai agenda are four areas requiring urgent bilateral attention:

- The introduction of demilitarised zones on the border in Chiang Rai 
and Chiang Mai, pending negotiation on border demarcation.

- Joint suppression of drug production bases along the border.

- A request for Rangoon to take back Burmese refugees who fled border 
fighting. Burma will also be asked to ensure illegal workers ejected 
from Thailand do not re-enter the country.

- Fishery concessions, carried over from the committee meeting in Phuket 
in 1988, will also be tabled for further discussion.

The commander is also planning to pay a courtesy call on Lt-Gen Khin 
Nyunt, secretary one of the State Peace and Development Council, and Gen 
Maung Aye, the army chief. His schedule would change should he be denied 
an appointment

AP: Jordanian queen speaks on human rights 

March 30, 2001

HARTFORD, Connecticut (AP) _ The queen of Jordan says the media has 
exaggerated the problem of honor killings in her country. 

 Speaking at a ceremony honoring imprisoned Burmese human rights 
activists, Queen Rania said Friday that honor killings are a serious 
issue, but that they occur much more frequently in other countries. 

 ``We in Jordan believe that the media has focused on honor killings in 
part because of our openness on the issue and the accessibility that 
Jordanian officials and public alike offer in discussing it,'' the wife 
of Jordan's King Abdullah II told about 80 faculty, human rights 
students and Trinity College donors at the college's ceremony. 

 Honor killing is an ancient practice sanctioned by culture rather than 
religion, rooted in a complex code that allows a man to kill a female 
relative for suspected or actual sexual activity. 

 It exists mostly in Muslim countries, such as those in the Middle East 
and central Asia, even though Islam does not sanction the practice. 

 The United Nations says such killings have also occurred in Britain, 
Norway, Italy, Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. At least one case has been 
reported in the United States. 

 ``Ironically, our law that allows judges to give reduced sentences to 
men who kill women in this manner was based on European legal 
traditions, and does not reflect Islamic or Arab legal values,'' the 
queen said. 

 The queen emphasized her goals as head of Jordan's human rights 
commission, including balancing international human rights standards 
with the country's traditions and religion. 

 During the ceremony, an exiled Burmese professor accepted a Trinity 
College human rights award on behalf of three activists imprisoned in 
Myanmar, also known as Burma. 

 ``I feel certain that they will say the honor belongs not just to them 
but to all those in the democratic movement who have made tremendous 
personal sacrifices,'' said Zar Ni. 

 The country repeatedly has been the subject of United Nations Human 
Rights Commission's censure resolutions. 

 The military junta has ruled Myanmar since a 1962 coup, and the current 
group of generals seized power in 1988 after crushing a pro-democracy 
movement. The junta refuses to surrender power to the opposition 
National League for Democracy party, which is believed to have won the 
1990 elections. 

 Ni accepted a sculpture on behalf of activists Daw Thida Htway, U Ye 
Tint and Daw Khin Khin Leh, who were arrested for encouraging a human 
rights movement in Myanmar. Ni then asked the crowd to sign blank pieces 
of paper being passed around, which he said he would send to the 
activists in prison. 

 ``It will help raise their morale,'' he said.

Deutsche Presse-Agentur: Myanmar claims to have cut trade deficit by 73 
per cent 


April 1, 2001, Sunday, BC Cycle  
Yangon 


Myanmar (Burma) slashed its trade deficit by 73 per cent during the 
first ten months of fiscal year 2000/01, news reports said Sunday. 

The state-run New Light of Myanmar newspaper cited the ruling junta's 
first secretary, Lieutenant General Khin Nyunt, as claiming the deficit 
had been reduced to 285 million dollars during the period, compared with 
a deficit of 1.054 billion dollars in the same period of 1999/00. 

Myanmar's fiscal year starts April 1 and ends March 31. 

Khin Nyunt, in a speech to the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chambers 
of Commerce on Saturday disclosed that Myanmar's exports during the 
April 2000 to January 2001 period reached 1.237 billion dollars, while 
imports hit 1.521 billion. 

During the same period in fiscal 1999/00 Myanmar exports were 910 
million dollars and imports were 1.964 billion, Khin Nyunt revealed. 

Trade statistics are rarely disclosed in Myanmar, where a military junta 
has ruled with dubious economic results, since September 1988. 

Macroeconomic statistics have become increasingly scarce since the Asian 
crisis of 1997 that adversely affected Myanmar's ability to attract 
foreign investment and trade with its Southeast Asian partners. 

Khin Nyunt noted that public sector imports in the first ten months of 
fiscal 2000/01 had declined by 30 per cent while private sector imports 
increased 5 per cent. 

Public sector exports in the same period hit 395 million dollars, a 66 
per cent jump over the same period in 1999/00, while private sector 
exports were 842 million dollars, up 25 per cent. 

Myanmar's chief exports items are timber and fisheries products, pulses 
and beans. 

The Myanmar Federation of Chambers of Commerce, started in 1999, has 
5,815 Myanmar members, 708 foreign companies and 15 state enterprises. 

Prior to 1988, when Myanmar was still following the "Burmese Way to 
Socialism," the private sector was generally excluded from all aspects 
of the economy, save the booming blackmarket.

The New light of Myanmar (SPDC): Those who make capital out of 
concoctions 

Sunday, 1 April, 2001)

When I arrived at Tachilek for the third time, I recalled the events of 
the past ten years during which my TV crew and I were shooting a 
teleplay in the town. Tachilek at the time was just one-50th of the 
present Tachilek. Some members of our team had to stay in Aungmyat Hall 
and some at the nearby monastery opposite to the Hall. "Nyein-chan-thaw 
Yin-khwin" the sequel of "Papi Ma" teleplay was shot in Tachilek and 
Maesai. 

We went to Maesai across the border and shot some parts of the teleplay 
there under mutual agreement between the officials of both sides. First 
we video-taped the scenes of the town centre. When we shot scenes in a 
big medical store, the owner presented us gifts. For two days we were 
free from troubles. We then shot scenes on Aungzeya Hill, from which 
SURA Ywet Sit group shelled Tachilek with heavy weapons. There was an 
uphill road as well as a long stairway to ascend the hill. There was a 
huge statue of scorpion on the hill. 

Problems started to arise on the fifth day of our stay in Maesai.The 
head of a ward located on the street leading to a nunnery and police 
from Maesai Police Station tried to arrest us. They told us to come with 
them. I refused to follow their order. And I let none of my men to be 
taken away by them. I managed to send a person to Tachilek to inform 
officials there of our situation. At that time, westerners and tourists 
were taking pictures with various kinds of cameras at will. But nothing 
happened to them. They were trying to disturb us who were video-taping 
some scenes after making consultations with their authorities. When we 
told them that we were shooting a teleplay with an official permission, 
they said that they didnÆt know about it. 

When we were facing the problem on the road, the person who was said to 
be the chief editor of Chiang Rai daily and party photographed and 
interviewed us. Within an hour, officials from our side and Thai side 
arrived. Only then did the problem die down. The ward head said in a 
light atmosphere that he had to scrutinize us as all the TV crews came 
to Maesai and shot only the unpleasant scenes of it. Maesai police also 
said that they were going to take the security duty to protect us from 
encountering further problems. 

We continued our video-taping. Maesai police accompanied us all along 
the way to give us protection and resolve all the difficulties. We then 
went to Ah KwaiÆs house which was located on the road to Golden Triangle 
region to shoot some scenes there. But Ah Kwai was not at home. He was 
away in Taiwan. His house was very large and the compound wide. The 
compound was surrounded by lychee trees that bear fruits the whole year 
round. There was a workshop for packaging garlic imported from Myanmar 
into five-kilo bags. Thai police stayed behind when we came near the 
compound of Ah KwaiÆs house. We shot some scenes there. 
The next day, we found the photo of our group featured together with a 
news report in the front page of Chiang Rai daily. The news report said 
that a TV team from Myanmar came to Maesai to shoot a teleplay; that 
they got a problem with a ward head; and that the problem was solved 
later. Chiang Rai daily was published in Thai as well as in Chinese. 

One of Ah KwaiÆs men said "Sale of Chiang Rai daily is down for a long 
period. Thus they are after the news. As they could not find interesting 
news, they in collaboration with the ward head created a news report. 
ItÆs nothing new." 

He was carrying an M-16 automatic rifle.

"The police did not accompany us when we shoot scenes here. Why? Is it 
because you have taken the security duty?" I asked him. 

My boss phoned me from Taipei to take care of every convenience for you. 
Police do not come near here as our boss has ordered them to stay away 
from the house and if they go pass in front of our house they will be 
fired on." 

Amazing! It is so strange for a Myanmar citizen who is accustomed to 
observance of discipline. Maesai police arrested Ah Kwai under drug 
charges. But Ah Kwai was released on bail. He bought weapons and 
gathered men. Money could buy any kind of weapon. Man was also 
available. He challenged Maesai police. At last, an agreement was 
reached between him and the police after making much consultations and 
gives and takes. Ah KwaiÆs political influence was not small. Maesai 
police stayed away from him as he satisfied them. But Ah Kwai demanded 
an extra condition. It was "Police shall not go pass in front of his 
house. They will be shot at if they do so." 

We also shot scenes at Maesai Police Station. The scene was that Kyi Tha 
(Pwe-kyaik Khin) took Zeya out from the confinement. A police officer 
saluted Kyi Tha. As there was no need for a police officer to salute a 
civilian in our nation, I prepared to shoot the scene another time. The 
Thai police laughed and said that they would salute a rich person. As 
one of the Police Lt-Col had a Hitler moustache, I called him Hitler. I 
could not recall his name. But his name was included in the list of cast 
subtitled in the teleplay "Nyein-chan-thaw Yin-khwin" 

We again found a strange thing at Maesai Police Station. It kept a 
henchman. He with a punk hair was born in Myanmar. The tattooed manÆs 
name was Prasit and he was also called Asit. Once a woman cheated a rich 
man in Maesai and ran away with a large amount of his money. Prasit went 
after her, seized her and killed her. He handed over all the money to 
the rich man. Prasit could take all the money or as much as he could. 
But Prasit never did such acts. He was a faithful person. Thus, the rich 
man kept him as his henchman. The Police Station also took him as a 
cohort. They used Prasit if they wanted to make someone silent. 
It was Maesai ten years ago.

The present Maesai is not much different from the Maesai of the past ten 
years. When I asked about Prasit, I learned that he was not in Maesai. 
It was said that he stayed away from Maesai as there were thugs more 
harmful than him. Was Mr Green killed by the henchmen like Prasit or the 
thugs who were more harmful than him. Those concerned will know best. 

I stood at the Tachilek end of the Friendship Bridge and looked over the 
closed gate to the other side. Maesai was the same as it was ten years 
ago. Our friends are still creating news for sale and keeping henchmen. 
Now they are not raising individual henchman like Prasit, but keeping 
drug bandits like Ywet Sit. I have no idea whether the Thai army is 
thinking that such bandits will serve as a buffer zone force if Myanmar 
troops intrude on the other countryÆs territory. Or else what kind of 
"give and take" does it have with Ywet Sit? Why is it always hurt 
whenever Ywet Sit is attacked?. 

The red-capped members of the so-called special combat forces of the 
Thai army transported SURA drug bandits with trucks and gave supporting 
heavy weapon fire from behind to attack Myanmar Tatmadaw outposts; due 
to such acts which are totally against the principles of 
good-neighbourliness, Myanmars were killed and civilian targets were 
ruthlessly hit. These are unforgivable criminal acts. To what extent 
will Myanmars continue to tolerate the acts of those who are making 
capital out of concoctions and raising bandits of the gentlemen of the 
other country?
