CHIN COMMUNITY IN NORWAY (CCN)Date: 19 April, 2007 Chin Community in Norway (CCN) condemns the summary execution of three Chin village headmenChin Community in Norway (CCN) condemns the summary executions of three village headmen, viz. Maung Khe (32) of Lung Phunu village, Hung Ling (25) of Cum Nam village, Ting Co of Sangseh village in sourthern Chin State by the troops from Burma Army Light Infantry Battalion (LIB) No. 104 and LIB, No. 304 under Tactical Operation Command II based in Matupi Township headed by Colonel San Aung on 07 March, 2007.We are terribly concerned for two other villagers, namely Tin Ceu of Sangseh village and Maung Oo who were disappeared. We are gravely overwhelmed with grief and sorrow upon the executions of three Chin village headmen, extend our deepest condolence to the victim’s families. The three Chin village headmen were executed after being accused of failing to report the troop movement of Chin National Army/ Chin National Front, an armed group fighting and struggling for Self-determination, Democracy based on Federal system in Burma (Myanmar), opposing the ruling military junta. Many innocent Chin civilians are accused of sympathizing and supporting financial aids to the armed group.Across the Chin State, religious persecutions, killing, torturing, raping are constantly committed by the military regime on the innocent Chin people. “It is a norm rather than exceptional practice within the Burma Army to summarily execute anyone suspected of being anti-regime. Too many cases of summary executions have been carried out with impunity against ethnic communities across Burma. This kind of arbitrarily killing is meant to teach a lesson to the public that the price of dissent is death” says Salai Bawi Lian Mang, Director of Chin Human Rights Organization.Chin Community in Norway (CCN), therefore urges Burma’s State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) to cease immediately such kind of executions of the innocent civilians without judicial trial and investigation. Chin Community in Norway (CCN) strongly endorsed Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO) calls for the UN special Rapporteur on Extra-judicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions to conduct an independent investigation into extra-judicial and summary killings of civilians in Burma.

Tahan Market Construction

Tahan market construction halted by authorities Khonumthung News 19 April 2007 Shop owners have been ordered by local authorities to discontinue construction work of Tahan market in Kalay Myo, Sagaing Division. The reconstruction of the market, which was destroyed in a fire last year, envisaged having two floors. But the authorities objected and shop owners who paid money in advance for the construction took it back from the Market Construction Committee.“They are not giving permission to construct two floors because they are probably afraid that the market will be bigger than Kalay Myo market,” said a local in Tahan. Kalay Myo market has only one floor, so the authorities were not keen on allowing construct of two floors for Tahan market. The authorities cancelled the permit. “Those who paid an advance for the upper floor are taking back their money because the second floor will not be constructed,” another local said. Shop owners had paid the first installment of Kyat 4 lakhs for the construction of the second floor. The second installment was Kyat 450000. Each shop would have cost Kyat 12 lakhs. The installments were paid to the market construction committee. Though some shop owners have taken back their money, they are ready to pay again if construction work continues. The authorities have not given any reason regarding the halt to construction. Local people feel construction was discontinued because there is corruption involved. The Letpanchhaung market is also under construction. It too caught fire and was burnt after Tahan market was gutted in a fire. But construction work is yet to start in Pakokku market which was gutted early this year. Tahan market was gutted in August 2006 and the fire destroyed goods worth Kyat 100 million. The government did not pay any compensation to shop owners. Shop owners are selling their wares from the road side near the market site. Some are paying rent for sitting on people’s lawn to sell their goods. “They pay Kyat 15,000 as rent each month. Since the market does not exist the shop keepers have no other option,” said a local.

Prices hike

Thu Apr 19, 2007 2:24 am (PST)
Market prices soar even as news of salary hike spreads Khonumthung News April 19, 2007 Even before the Burmese military regime puts into place a proposed hike in salaries of government employees in May market prices have begun to soar. A local in Kalay Myo, in Chin state, said that prices of all essential commodities like rice, edible oil and petrol have begun to go up. In Kalay Myo the price of rice, called Ayamin locally, has increased from Kyat 12,000 to Kyat 20,000 per bag. The cost of petrol has risen from Kyat 4,800 to Kyat 5,200. Edible oil, salt and Ajinomoto have become more expensive. “Casual labourers are facing severe problems given the skyrocketing prices. They are the worst hit and are finding it difficult to feed their families,” said a local in Tahan. The monthly salary of government servants like a high school headmaster is Kyat. 70,000. High school teachers earn Kyat 44,000 while middle school and primary teachers earn Kyat 38,000 and Kyat 27,000 respectively. It is hard to fathom the quantum of pay rise in the offing. At the moment government servants are also facing problems because of the increasing market prices, although they know their salaries will go up. “The condition will worsen if the market prices continue to spiral and the situation will be grave if salaries do not go up,” said a Chin. Bus fares have increased as a consequence of petrol rates going up, which again is having an effect on prices of essential commodities. The prices keep rising as the Myanmar government pays more salary to it employees including those in the defense services.

Be the Best

Be The Best of Whatever You AreIf you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,

Be a scrub in the valley -

but beThe best little scrub by the side of the hill;

Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,

And some highway happier make;

If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass -

But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,

There's something for all of us here,

There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,

And the task you must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,

If you can't be the sun be a star;

It isn't by size that you win or you fail -

Be the best of whatever you are!
