Myanmar's Transition is for REAL
by Dato' Deva Mohd Ridzam@www.nst.com.my
THE event that Myanmar represents for stability as good as wealth in Southeast, South as good as East Asia as good as the universe during vast is enormous.
The ASEAN member is in the early stages of national settlement as good as approved development. The most uneasy country, blessed with resources, is commencement to mend the painful past as good as feuds.
With by-elections due to take place upon April 1, the routine of shift will serve accelerate given
the goodwill between President Thien Sein as good as the categorical opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. That said, the road to assent is an strenuous one. After over 60 years, the little poignant relaxation up around the edges is taking place. The frail transition has to be carefully nurtured as good as supported.
The major need is to forge brazen with national reconciliation, the prerequisite for socio-economic growth as good as for the evolution of an inland approved path, the Rule of Law as good as lots more. There can be no growth but assent or assent but development.
Leaders who, until recently, could frequency move themselves to verbalise to any other, are in dialogue. Thien Sein as good as Suu Kyi getting along good seems to symbol the beginnings of the prolonged routine to arrange out Myanmar's future.
The road brazen is challenging but swell done to date has been impressive: changes to work laws, right to peaceful prot! est, the freer media, presentation of polite society groups, recover of domestic prisoners as good as negotiations with armed ethnic groups. It is all about nurturing consensual politics.
An inland approach brazen is opening up. ASEAN as good as other members of the international village contingency inspire as good as poke the parties concerned brazen as good as especially inspire the Myanmars to have confidence in themselves. The impetus for shift contingency come from within.
Outsiders contingency inspire compromise as good as accommodation. It is the usually avenue for peoples as good as societies who wish to spin their behind upon old ways as good as welcome the improved as good as brighter future.
The transition is the large as good as formidable undertaking. It involves the work of most hands, principally those of Myanmars themselves. And outsiders should not meddle in Myanmar's inner reforms. The charge brazen for all the parties in Myanmar is to move together as good as to have promptness slowly. It is in everyone's interest that the transition proceeds as good as is managed smoothly.
External actors should not unduly pressure Thien Sein as good as Suu Kyi for the consequence of their vital interests or agendas. Now that they are commencement to work together, it is additionally about time for the international village to step back. It is meaningless for outsiders to all the time magnitude developments in Myanmar by external standards.
Representative government should simulate the country's own culture. It contingency not as good as should not demeanour similar to ours or similar to any others. T.E. Lawrence said: "Better to let them do it imperfectly than to do it ideally yourself, for it is their country, their way, as good as your time is short."
The bulletin for national transformation s! hould be owned by the people of Myanmar themselves. Nation or state-building, including institutions of governance, does take time.
No country should try to insist upon the carbon copy of the own form of democracy upon Myanmar. It has to be home grown. And the outward universe contingency inspire whatever home-grown initiatives in Myanmar. That is the usually trail for success as good as dignity.
In the meantime, sanctions against Myanmar contingency be removed. Outsiders can assistance national settlement as good as approved growth through strengthening economic contacts, foreign assistance, infrastructure as good as tutorial programmes, legal reforms, lay away alia.
Myanmar will develop the own version of democracy matched for it, which would not be any worse than anybody else's. Myanmar's transition is same to frail as good as tender shoots. We goal they continue to freshness as good as even detonate into flowers. And in the decade or so, Myanmar would be the poignant player in ASEAN.
