Free Republic

Err, sorry to say that I don't buy your story. Really sorry!
So you are inside the country for the time being.May I ask for whom you are working for and how you got the permission to be there? How much money did you have to bribe for that?

Is this a rubbish what we are here talking about? Do you mean to say we are over-emotional? And the prayers are useless?

If you don't want to hear our "rubbish", the choice is up to you.

Thanks for the info.

Best regards,

P.S. Are you a Burmese?

May God bless you,
Amen.

Which tv cameras could be there to report on what really happened to those poor Burmese living along the river when the junta tries to hide the death toll even from his own people!( Sorry to say that to you. I know what you meant in your reply. I just want to emphasize it a bit stronger.) The Burmese people living in the country don't even get to know how any people were killed in the other involved countries!

Burma is the country where it is forbidden to speak of the dead numbers caused by this tsunami!

May God be with those helpless affected people

Give them the strength to live on,

The hopes they will be helped.

Amen.

Here is an extract from what the military government said about the disaster in Burma:

Next, Deputy Minister for Information Brig-Gen Aung Thein told the newsmen about strong earthquake occurred in the Indian Ocean and damages in some areas in Myanmar. An earthquake of severe intensity with its epicentre about 1600 kilometres Northwest of Jakarta, Indonesia took place at 07:32:4 on 26 December. After that, nine earthquakes of intensity about 6.0 on the Richter Scale were recorded in the Andaman Sea. The eighth earthquake of strong intensity with 6.1 on the Richter Scale with its epicentre about 100 kilometres Southwest of Kokogyun took place at 09:38:42. The ninth one of strong intensity with 7.3 on the Richter Scale centred about 640 kilometres south of Kokogyun was recorded.

Some buildings collapsed in Taninthayi, Yangon, Bago and Ayeyawady Divisions and some regions in Rakhine and Shan State (South) due to the earthquake and coastal regions were hit by tidal waves. According to the latest information received, 138 buildings were destroyed and 788 people were homeless. Thirty six people were killed, 45 injured and 14 missing. Chairman of Ayeyawady Division Peace and Development Council Commander Maj-Gen Soe Naing, Minister for Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement Maj-Gen Sein Htwa and acting Director-General Dr U Tin Win Maung of the Ministry of Health visited the earthquake-hit regions in Ayeyawady Division yesterday morning and provided relief to the victims. Chairmen of State/Division Peace and Development Councils also visited the affected areas and carried out rescue operations.

Here the dead numbers the military government announced is not accurate!They said only 36 people were killed! If you've watched CNN or BBC or others news channels that give information on my country, you'll know that the dead numbers in Burma are more than these figures officially given by the regime! That shows the regime is trying not to attract the international attention to my country.As I said before, I very much hope the affected people in Burma will not be forgotten to give a helping hand.

All the best,
