Burma Democratic Concern (BDC): Meaningful Birthday Wish

for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi

18 June 2010










“If this country is to achieve genuine democracy, the result of the

elections of 1990 must be recognized. It will be to the detriment of our

country if after an election has been held the results are not honoured

and we do not resist attempts to trivialise it”. (Daw Aung San Suu Kyi)

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi led National League for Democracy (NLD)

boycott junta planned sham election in this year due to its unfair

electoral laws.

Khin Maung Win, the Director of the Burma Democratic Concern (BDC)

said that “I would like to echo what Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said “People

got the rights not to vote at the election. Let’s practise our rights—rights

not to vote, at the junta planned sham election later this year. In this way

we can give the best birthday present to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi”.

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is not only the icon of the Burmese people's

struggle for freedom but also the symbol of non-violent movement in the world at large.

Daw Khin Aye Aye Mar, the Patron of the Burma Democratic Concern

(BDC) said that “I would like to remind people around the world that

crisis in Burma is crisis in your own country. Even though you don’t

practically see what is happening in Burma at your eye-sight but do not

forget that instability could spread very easily in this day and age. Please

do not forget that standing up for justice in Burma is tantamount tostanding up for the justice in the world”.

“Imagine that if US military generals refuse to let Obama stay in power—

what US citizens will do. Imagine that if Gordon Brown refuses to resign

as the PM— what UK citizens will do”, added Daw Khin Aye Aye Mar.








Daw Aung San Suu Kyi should be the head of the government of Burma

as the leader of the winning party according to the results of the 1990

general election but sadly military regime put her under house arrest and

intensified crack down on her supporters.

Junta’s planned 2010 election is designed to legitimised military rule in

Burma. In Burma, there is no rule of law and junta is always above the

law. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was elected by the citizens of Burma in the1990 General Election. Ironically that election was conducted by the

same generals who suppress Burma today.

U Tint Swe Thiha, the Patron of Burma Democratic Concern (BDC) said

that “Junta is planning to hold fake election in 2010 with sham

constitution which legitimise military rule in Burma. I would like to

assure here that there will be no genuine democratic change coming out

from 2010 election since the election results are premeditated already by junta, which will be General Than Shwe transferring power to General

Than Shwe. The suffering of Burmese people will prolong so long as

military regime is in power either in booted or suited”.

Burmese people want the international community to endorse Aung San

Suu Kyi led democratically elected leaders according to the 1990 election

as the legitimate government of Burma if the one should be formed,

which is effectively by-passing the China and/or Russia at the UNSC. If

the world leaders unanimously focused working on this essential—then we will be able to realise democratic aspiration in Burma and it will be

the best birthday present ever for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
