Information Sheet No.A-0022 (r)
Ko Okkar,
Where are you getting these information? It seems like you are getting
them from New Light of Myanmar Newspaper (SLORC's propaganda tool).
Everyone knows these news are not true, so please stop posting them.
The whole country is fighting for Democracy and nobody cares about the
traffic jam. So many patriots (Aunty Su, Students, Monks, Workers,
etc..) are risking their lives for the country which is nothing to
compare with traffic jam complaint coming from SLORC's family. Shame
on them.

(1) The National League for Democracy has been without much
success trying to hold week-end rallies in public places which has
met with opposition by local citizens and religious associations Mrs.
Aris along with her senior party leaders U Tin Oo, U Kyi Maung
had attempted several times to hold afternoon week-end rallies at
the junction of Saya San and U Chit Maung Road. The people living
along this junction were very much disturbed by Mrs. Aris's
week-end rallies which not only causes traffic jam on the public
road but also interfered with their daily life. Finally, it came to the
stage where the ward people of the junction area themselves came
out to prohibit Mrs. Aris from holding rallies and had also put out
their own citizens patrols to prevent the NLD from coming into their
wards during week-end afternoons.
(2) The NLD being unsuccessful in holding week-end rallies at
the Saya San and U Chit Maung Road junction attempted to hold
rallies on the Shwe Dagon Pagoda* platform under various
pretexts. In this regard, the shop-keepers of the (4) stairways of the
pagoda and (63) religious associations base on the pagoda signed a
petition urging the NLD to stop exploiting the pagoda premises as a
political platform. On behalf of shop-keepers and religious
associations on the 16th of Feb. the Shwe Dagon Pagoda Trustees
handed over the petition to the NLD group leader who came up to
the pagoda platform and they also sent the petition to the NLD
Headquarters and to the Chairman of Yangon Division NLD office it
is learnt.
*Shwe Dagon Pagoda
The ancient sacred Buddhist religious monument which has been in
existence over 2500 years.
(3) On the 14th of Feb. 1997, the Myanmar Anti-Narcotics Task
Force intercepted a motor vehicle on the Kyukoke/Pansai/Mong
Koe road, (North-East Shan State). This vehicle was found to be
carrying 56.35 kilos of heroin and the two persons in the vehicle are
one Myanmar national and one Chinese national from Yunan
Province. Necessary legal actions will be taken against the two it is
learnt.
