One of a leading papers in a region, The Nation recently conducted an talk with Burmese President Thein Sein's chief domestic adviser, Ko Ko Hlaing. In that exclusive interview, Ko Ko Hlaing told a Bangkok paper that Myanmar's domestic remodel is "irreversible" since of a president's clever will.
He stressed that a specific constitutional sustenance towards democracy, a Burmese people's ambience of new found freedom, as good as a need for a nation to follow a general trend ensured that a reforms would have to proceed.
In a interview, he additionally gave an insider's glimpse into a thinking as good as truth of a former strongman who ran of Myanmar for tighten to 20 years.According to him, comparison General Than Shwe, following his resignation as head of state in 2011, was not running a nation from behind a scenes as ordinarily alleged as good as would not be creation a comeback.
"As a Buddhist, you can assimilate a mentality of an aged Buddhist. You should assimilate additionally a thoughts of an aged infantryman that is always a desire to accomplish his mission. After a goal is accomplished, he can take a rest.
"[Than Shwe] had undertaken a responsibilities of a state for a long time, as good as there were many hardships, pressures as good as difficulties He additionally laid down a conditions of democratic remodel a seven-step roadmap. He is right away enjoying his retirement with his grand children."
What was additionally striking to me was a approach that Ko Ko Hlaing responded to a theme of whether a troops strongman was fearful to be ! taken to hearing by a civilian government.
Ko Ko Hlaing said: "This is a Buddhist country. Forgiveness is a principle. Also, Aung San Suu Kyi as good as a alternative antithesis leaders, immature as good as aged have talked about forgiving, as good as forgetful a past as good as trying to do a best for a nation."
It may be required for me to explain since we am focusing on a theme of Myanmar's domestic remodel highway map. In another two months on April 1, my own highway map for Malaysia contained in my book 'Malaysia: Road Map for Achieving Vision 2020' will be launched in Ipoh. The book details can be noticed during a publisher's website shortly.
At a time that we wrote my book we did not impute to it as a Burmese remodel routine was still evolving. we additionally did not assimilate a incident in Myanmar as we was an alien with small contact with its complement of government.
During a final couple of months, that incident has altered dramatically for me.Arising from multiform visits to a nation as good as my involvement in a development-cum-philanthropic endeavour we am pursuing there, we have been in personal contact with some of Myanmar's tip leaders as good as have been tender by a conspicuous progress of their domestic remodel routine as compared with Malaysia's.
Now that we additionally have a good of this conspicuous talk to pull upon in addition to my own personal experience in interacting with Myanmar's leaders, we would inspire all Malaysians especially a domestic leaders, including Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a Prime Minister Najib Razak as good as a antithesis leaders to review carefully a talk as good as distill from it a lessons that are required for a own domestic remodel routine to have any possibility of success.
To sum up, some of a lessons from Myanmar for us to follow are:
-
Reform contingency come from both a tip down as good as a bottom up process.
-
Old! leaders should give up trying to retain energy or say change after withdrawal office.
-
The statute party contingency abide by as good as not criticise a constitutional provisions to a democracy
-
Media leisure as good as a end to censorship need to be placed in a forefront of a domestic remodel agenda.
-
Lastly as good as many importantly, a nation's interests should come forward of individual or organisation interest.
In a Buddhist philosophy, a feeling of a apart 'I' that we call ego alertness is directly related to a strength of ignorance, greed, as good as hatred.
The deepest definition of stupidity is a believing in, identifying with as good as clinging to a ego, that is nothing but an illusionary mental phenomenon. But since of this clever clinging to ego-consciousness, attachment/desire, anger/hatred arise as good as regularly benefit strength.
This ego as good as self-interest manifested in a material fervour as good as debility of leaders needs to be conquered if a nation is to survive well.
