There are so many ways that we can take action against them on this
regard.Please wait until the time is up.

For the time being,I suggest, please

NCGUB/FTUB issues and encourage them to participate the democratic
proceedure of questioning the government that represent us and the whole
hepless Burmese inside Burma.Do not allow the monkey business infected to
future Burma. 

2. Please post any informations that relate to NCGUB/FTUB corruptions or
misappropriations onto the net for everyone to study.

3. Creat culture of discussion and criticism among us.

> Dear fellow freedom-lovers:
> 
> Lately, the Burmese student and youth activists in the USA, Thailand and 
> Australia have raised the questions about the NCG & FTUB's fund raising 
> and wasting.
> To summarize the recent postings on this issue, 
> 
> *  They (youths, students, activists from all walks of life) have rights 
> to know how these funds are utilized by the NCG & FTUB who claimed that 
> they represent the same population.  Because, these funds are 
> contributed towards democratic and human rights movement of Burma, not 
> NCG & FTUB.
> 
> *  If NCG and FTUB perceive themselves as authentic leading democratic 
> organizations, they have obligation to answer how they managed the fund 
> for every year since 1991.
> 
> *  Dr. Ni Ni Thein has offered to hold an online conference for the 
> activists who raised this issue.  I initially thought she would be doing 
> this great job as the representative for Europe.  Later, she clarified 
> that she would do it in her personal capicity.  Since it is not a 
> personal issue, I have no interest in registering myself for her 
> conference.  Our concerns should be heard by the persons concerned.
> 
> *  Some of our freinds argue that our posting to BurmaNet about this 
> issue is irrelevant and counterproductive.  However, they fail to 
> provide us with feasible ideas and ways in order to address the issue.  
> The connotation attached to their objections against our postings is 
> "you shut up."  I consider these objections as anti-democratic 
> behaviors.  Dr. Ne Oo, in his intellectual tone, even went to the extent 
> of indirectly labeling our actions as an outcome of political 
> illiteracy.  It is an intended insult and will never be forgotten 
> thought can be forgiven.
> 
> *  Now it has been nearly a month since we have raised this issue 
> together in the best interest of the people's revolution for restoration 
> of democracy and human rights.  We individually are not interested in 
> gaining personal fame by raising this issue.  Therefore, some people 
> even chose to use some obscured accounts in their postings to burmanet.  
> Ne Oo had once tried to uncover some people who wanted to remain 
> anonymous by giving out IP addresses to a person called Winston Lee.  Ne 
> Oo spied and made effort to silence those individuals' voices.  I can 
> prove it.
> However, I think, it is enough now.
> 
> Here, i came up with the following assumptions:
> 
> Assumption I.  Both NCG and FTUB might have considered our voices as 
> meaningless. Therefore, they have chosen TO TOTALLY DISREGARD OUR 
> VOICES.
> 
> Assumption II.  Both NCG and FTUB might be aware that their forthcoming 
> explanations to our queries will expose their incapability  in leading 
> the movement and mismanagement of the fund they received on behalf of 
> the whole revolutionaries and refugees.  Therefore, they have chosen to 
> REMAIN SILENT AND INVISIBLE.
> 
> I ain't being pessimistic.  But I can think of only these two 
> assumptions.  Both are not wise choices.
> 
> Now, please consider the following suggestions:
> 
> 1.  We should seriously consider the importance of continuing our 
> political support to NCG.  Should we continue or discontinue supporting 
> NCG?  Is it fit to lead the movement any more?
> 
> 2.  For FTUB.  It is obviously a fake labour organization. So I have no 
> further comments on it. My suggestion is "let's get rid of Maung Maung 
> and stop writing about him."  Save our time. We will collectively sue 
> him in future public tribunal for cheating us and international 
> community.
> 
> 3.  We have few good men and women who are close to NCG's inner circle.  
> Dr Ni Ni Thein is a good example.  Here I request these people to come 
> up with their own personal views and suggestions to address this issue.  
> They are still responsible to fulfil this obligation.  Their suggestions 
> should be open and public.  No secret conferencing is neccessary.
> 
> 4.  Democratic student and youth organizations, including ABSDF, ABSDO, 
> DBSO, ABSL, SYCB, ABYL must also make their stand clear on this issue 
> since they are our leading organizations.  In the absense of a strong 
> and clean revolutionary leadership, we hope these organizations can play 
> the best substitute for NCG.  New generation must take over the 
> political leadership.
> 
> APPEAL:
> ======
> PLEASE RESPONE TO OUR CALL.  PLEASE GIVE US YES OR NO, BLACK OR WHITE 
> ANSWER. DIPLOMACY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING GOOD FOR US AT THIS MOMENT.
