LONDON, July 26

        When I recently visited Burma, I had some interest in shrimp business
over there. Of course, so many companies are booming with it. Japanese,
Singaporean, HongKongian are eating a large portion of Burmese shrimp
everyday. With this I knew trade embargo on Burma by the US won't work at
all. Ok.. leave this apart for a while.
        What I am going to inform all of you is that I saw 2 exactly painted
and designed Thai ships near Yangon port. I felt curious and enquired what
was the case. You know what they did? They obtained 1 license from the
Burmese government, and were later found out catching shrimp and fish with 2
or more ships with the same name. People say such things are very very
common. They say this is just one in hundreds. These businesses comes up with
such product:
        PRODUCT  OF  THAILAND
        MADE  IN  MYANMAR

        I saw fish sauce and dried fish selling in London carrying a Thai
logo, and were printed the same way. I shook my head and pushed out a long
breath.
        This could be the same thing with heroin. According to National
Geographic Magazine (July 1995), our country is the largest opium producer in
the world, which is 60% of world production. I at least feel proud with it.
But who is getting money? The Thais, exactly. They buy everything from
Burmese gems to Burmese women at a floor price, improved them, and sold them
at a better price.

WARNING: THAIs AND OTHER NEIGHBOURS SUPPORT SLORC, BECAUSE THEY CAN SUCK MORE
BLOOD OUT OF BURMA, BY BRIBING CHEAP GENERALS.
