People's Desire.

Taunggyi, 4 August, 1999.
        The people of Burma are anxiously watching what will happen in
the
coming four nines (9-9-99) because they expect changes. Even simple
people who
lack political knowledge, want the SPDC to change because of non-stop
inflation
, raising of municipal taxes, fees of electricity, phone etc. Worst of
all are
the costs of principal food, such as rice and cooking oil, that have
increased
day by day.
        The SPDC also does many things to overcome the four nines
(9-9-99) even
astrological methods, such as building and renovating pagodas.
        Some politicians speculated the causes to change might be
inflation and
competition for power in the SPDC. The second can happen when U Ne Win
(the
former  Chairman of Burma Socialist Program Party who still influences
the SPDC
and also the backer of Khin Nyunt, Secretary 1 of SPDC) passes away.
