At the moment Burma is in political deadlock. This problem was rooted before gaining independence on 4 January 1948. Unfortunately, Burmese people achieved the independence with political disputes and ethnic conflicts leading civil war. I was born under control of Burmese Socialist Programme Party. In my childhood, I saw some student movement, worker movement, but I didn’t know the reasons creating such chaos.
I passed ten-standard in 1983 and attended Mathematic major in 1983-84 academic year. While I was learning in university, I started to read some books as well as the Mathematic course books. As a result I recognized mismanagement of ruling government. In addition, I started to worry my future carrier after the university course. At this time many graduates were unemployment and further study was out of their reach.
While we were sitting for 1986-87 academic year exam, the Burma Socialist Programme Party announced 25, 45 kyats notes as invalid currency. This announcement sparked small protest and I participated in this protest. The students including me had no experience how to protest against the ruling government and were afraid for some punishment by the law enforcement officers of the BSPP. So, we covered our face with small branches to hide who we are. We marched to the home affairs minister’s house located in Mandalay. At this moment, U Min Khaung performed as the home affairs minister. In front of U Min Khaung’s house, soldiers, polices and riot polices forced us to return and they threatened us by shooting in the air. Next day, our school was closed without finishing the exam. After this protest, I review the situation as possible as I can but I got no clear answer.
Later, 8888 movement introduced me with bitter real situation on Burma. I participated in the movement as student leader. We got some benefits from this movement but we did not get democracy government and could not solve Burmese issues.
That is why I am --------.
