You know, it is the time for them to release Daw ASSK. They have no way out. They never want to release her because they had committed the De-pa-yin massacre with the intention to kill Daw ASSK. But, when they couldn’t kill her, they put her under house arrest with no proper reason. (Murderers arrested good persons.) The LAW seems to be whatever they said.

On the other hand, they are moving towards so-called election on 2010 which will make them legal to rule the country as long as they want. They want no one standing across their way. They held referendum last year while the country was facing terrible natural disaster. By that so-called referendum, they could confirm the constitution which was written to control the country as they want. Yes, of course, referendum was a fake and the election they would make in 2010 will be a fake too. Let me guess, they might not release her before their election.

Actually, if someone sneak into daw ASSK’s house, it was the weakness of security around the house. The house was guarded with polices 24 hours a day. The gates across the road in front of her house were closed during night time. But how could they miss a man who came in. So, this is a big question everyone is asking.

But in conclusion, daw ASSK was accused and prosecuted. But we know and the whole world knows that she is innocent and SPDC is using their low-standard, coward, shameless, and vile intentions towards her.

So, the question is: Why are the sincere leaders of the world caring her, worried for her but SPDC alone is accusing her as a criminal?

Yes. Everybody knows the answer.

I inserted the zawgyi-one converter to my blog. I got the script from mm bloggers help desk. (Thanks ko Mhaw-saya for the link). I don’t know who wrote the code. I’m so thankful to them. Actually, they should mention the coder’s name, license and blah blah blah in script file as most of the java script writers do. Since I changed the preferred font to Padauk, I placed it into my webhost.  Hope all zawgyi-one users can read my   Burmese posts now. But I want everybody to switch to Padauk/myanmar3 (Unicode 5.1 compliant fonts).   Because, it is sooooo much easier to type.  And I want to say “Standard font ကိုသုံးခြင်းဖြင့် ၐုဏ်ယူပါ။ ”

By the way, I dubbed my new blog “Ancient Ghost”. Reason one is that there are many many similar blog names like mine these days (although I am the first one.) There are lots of blogs names ending with  ”… ရာ” nowadays. Another reason is that I want to keep my old blog with that name and make this blog as new separate blog. (But I may not write new post on old blog.)

And. . . the connection is slow slow slow. They said it was temporary during the maintenance works for fiber optic cable. Hope it is true.

People here are grumbling for electric power outage these days. You know, we get just around 2 hours of electricity a day. It was terrible. The city Thanshwe just built is shining with bright lights at night. You can feel that you are approaching the city when you see the brighter street lights on highway. If you reach to Kyap-pyay (naypyiday as they call) you would think it is a different country due to bright lights and full electricity all time. Although the whole country is suffering, Than Shwe is celebrating the opening of a new huge pagoda called Uppatasanti.  Who knows how much money used in this project while people from delta region are still suffering from poverty after cyclone Nargis. Without the help of INGOs’ I can’t think of how they would survive.

ThanShwe built this city. He built it following the instructions of astrologers in order to maintain his power. He used money of the country in building this Kyap-Pyay city (naypyidaw, according to him), in building his strong army and in upgrading is wealth day by day.  But people has no opportunity to do business freely. Villagers are oppressed, ethnic people are oppressed, no freedom of expression, no freedom in religion. It may sounds like an old song but Burma suffered more than that. So, let me write this for the days I couldn’t blog.  

In the end of last year, lots of democracy activists were sentenced to long term imprisonments.  Activists like 88 generation students got around 65 years of jail terms for walking silently on roads after fuel price hike in August 2007. People like comedian Zargana who helped the cyclone victims got of jail terms of 59 years. Thanshwe, that brutal Thanshwe and SPDC did nothing for cyclone victims for weeks. Although international news broadcasted the forecast and warned about cyclone to Burma on time, Burmese SPDC described it as there was no danger. Although there were warnings at evening of May 2 on TV, it was quite late and information was not bold enough to reach all the people. The cyclone Nargis entered the Irrawaddy delta region and Yangon that night. Small huts of villagers were blown away by wind and people were killed by strong tide. When the storm calm down, the land was with dead bodies floating around. People survived have nothing to eat, nowhere to live and family members were dead and lots of dead bodies around them. SPDC even didn’t think to do rescue works. Only the NGOs INGOs and individual people and groups went there to help. The army even stopped the helpers in various incidents. International aids were trying to enter the country by helicopters and by ships.  But Thanshwe and SPDC did not care and resume the planned referendum throughout the country.  (it would be another story to write about their fake referendum for the constitution which was written as they wished to rule Burma eternally.) Later, after the visit of Ban Ki-moon, SPDC allowed foreign aids on May 19.

To be continued …

It was in 2006, it think, many Myanmar Unicode fonts came out. But most of the fonts were partial-Unicode fonts. They used the Unicode character space assigned for Myanmar, but these fonts does not conform the standards. At that time, I was thinking to start to blog in Burmese. So, I checked this and that fonts to be used on my blog. Later, myanmar1 came out and it conform the standards somehow and Padauk, which works only on certain release of Firefox browser. I used to write about it these days.

Anyway, what I want to say is that Burmese posts I will write from now on will be readable with Padauk, myanmar3 and mymyanmar fonts. If you want to type using these fonts,

• download them from the URLs at the end of this post
• Keyboard layout can be found in myanmar3 pack. (very similar to win-innwa)
• I use myanmar3 keyboard as input method and use Padauk font to display.
• Myanmar3 installation instruction has one step missing.  After installation, you may need to go to control panel, » regional and language options » language tab » details… » add …
• Select myanmar3 as follows:

  

• Typing is very very easy. You type normal characters simply as shown in character map.
• You type as you write on paper. (no need to type ya-yit first)
• There are no several ya-yits . The shape will change accordingly. Ya-yit is at “j key ”.
• To type pat-sints, type the upper character » type shift+f » type the lower character. It will go down automatically. Eg. Mandalay = ma » na » (shift+f) » ta »…

  (Notice that na-nge shape changed automatically too

By the way, I couldn’t type Monday (ta-nin-lar) first. I couldn’t figure it out at all. But, I learnt it later with the help of Mhaw-Saya. (Thank you, ko Mhaw-Saya) it is… .  ta» na» nga» athet» (shift+f)» la» yaycha

Be careful in using some characters.

• Wa-lone is at (shift+w). Please don’t use zero key!!!
• Alphabet Oo is at (shift+u) but nya-kalay is at (shift+n). they are different. Please don’t mess them up.

I think that’s all I need to say. I wish you happy read/ write in mm Unicode fonts.

Here are some download and useful links for you.

နောက်တစ်ခုကတော့ မြန်မာ font converter လေးပါ။ font အမျိုးအစား အစုံကို ပြောင်းပေးနိုင်ပါတယ်။ I’m very greatful to those who made it.
