ABSDF Australia Branch!

[hag2@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear ABSDF Australian Branch members,
I want to request you one thing and it is serious.  Do not accuse Ko Moe
Thee Zun for this matter.  He is living in the border by his own.  You guys
need to be real careful about one sided accusation.  Do not think it was
plotted by MTZ, but it happened.  Do not accuse him, if you do not have
evidence, I am not defending MTZ but I am defending the unity of ABSDF.
One sided accusation will split ABSDF again.  I heard that Ko Naing Aung
has an affair with Khin Ohnma.  It was confirmed by the people from D.C, it
is not a rumor and we have to face it for the sake of our beloved
organization ABSDF.  Please handle it carefully, if you do not it will burn
the whole ABSDF.  I do not want to see the factionalism within our ABSDF.
We have to judge on principles not a personal friendship (Mu and Lu).  Even
though, you like Ko Naing Aung and dislike Ko Moe Thee, we have to see who
broke the principle and who is responsible for that matter.  My
understanding is ABSDF is united and both Ko Naing Aung and Ko Moe Thee are
leaders of ABSDF.  If something wrong with KNA, we do not need to criticize
KMTZ.  Do you understand what I mean.  Your accusation shows that you guys
are from KNA clique, whether he is doing right or wrong , you guys will
support him because you guys are close to him.  It is like a personal cult,
it happened under Ne Win rule and I do not want to see it again within
ABSDF.  We need to stand firm on our own principles. Personal friendship or
grouping will not solve the problem but will create misuse of power and
corruption. 
I think it is time for ABSDF to call a conference and choose a new
leadership.  Ko Naing Aung has been long enough as a Chairman.  According
to our constitution, it is due to call a conference.  The new leader will
emerge within this coming conference.  We need to add in our constitution
that the Chairman need to elected only twice and not more than 6 or eight
years.  If the person hold the position for more than eight years, he or
she became an institution.  It is heard to remove and it is not good for
the democratic organization like ABSDF.  I am really sorry for Ko Naing
Aung but we have to stick on our own principles.

I think it might help for all of us, sadly.

sincerely yours

Ko Htun Aung Gyaw
