I. " Happy 62nd Birthday, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi"_ Editorial: Tai

Samyone

_ Happy birthday and many happy returns. A traditional

birthday greeting that celebrates another year of life and looks

forward to another year of happiness. I'm sure that we all wish these

for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. In fact, many of us would wish to make our

greetings in person..........

II. " Is Malaysia an Example?" _ Feature Article: Prof. Kanbawza Win

_ A great number of the people of Burma who have fled

their home land come to Malaysia seeking a save sanctuary from the

marauding Burmese army or to silently eke out their livelihood were

routinely persecuted. ...........

III. " Speaking with Mrs. Anwar" _ Interview by Dr. San Oo Aung

_ Dr. Wan Azizah served as a government doctor for 14

years before deciding to focus on volunteer work, when her husband,

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim became the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia.

As part of her voluntary pursuits, she became Patron of the National

Cancer Council at that time............

IV. "Daw Suu and democracy movement in Burma " _ Feature Article: Dr.

Habib Siddiqui

_ Throughout history, we have seen the importance of

personality in shaping the destiny of a nation. These personalities

become larger than their lives. They gravitate people to a common

cause driving them to overcome their local, ethnic and minor/major

differences. Rarely did a social and national movement succeed that

did not have that iconic unifying figure. That unique role has been

provided by Daw Suu Kyi for Burma, a country of many races,

ethnicities, and religions...........

V. " Indispensable Suu for Burma's Future" _ Candid Commentary: Dr.

Tayza

_ It will definitely be not exaggerated to say that any

attempt by Burma's military junta to force through their so called

seven-stepped democracy road-maps, whether they are hoax or sincere,

without any involvement of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in the process, will

be very much like former apartheid regime in South Africa making

attempts to form a puppet African government without Nelson

Mandela...........

VI. " To Unite Behind Daw Suu" _ Opinion: Sakkyar Hein

_ We of all ethnic groups must unite behind Daw Suu at

least until we have driven out Than Shwe's military rule and

established an elected representative government in Burma.. .........

VII . "Orders In The Air, Powers On The Chair"_ Poem: Van Biak Thang

_ So many girls raped, so many boys

slapped. .........Infants so frightened, grandmas so

saddened . .........Chicken shot for food, goods taken as

loot . .........Piglets killed for fun, places full of guns. .........

VIII. "A MESSAGE OF GREAT REGRET " _ Poem: Feraya

_ Aung San Suu Kyi was a thorn in my flesh.......She was

the one who could give you what.......You good citizens

deserve.......She was everything I was not....... .

IX. " Topsy-Turvy World of Than Shwe" _ Cartoon: Feraya

X. "A Question about AEIOU " _ Discussion on AEIOU Programme

_ curious to know how AEIOU deals with students who are

refugees. What if they have no community to go back to, and have

their own family in Chiang Mai, or are just stuck there on their own?

Having students study in their own community sounds very nice,

but . .........

XI. "Calling for Volunteer Manager " _ Special Report: AEIOU Programme

_ will have to look over the entire general administration

including the welfare of the students, hostels, health, security,

cooks, coordinate with the faculty and office staffs and most

important of all must be able to control the students ranging from the

age of 20 to 30. .... .....
