Dr. Thein Lwin, the MP of Meikhtila

DVB ( August 30, 2003 )

As far as I understand, the government should not be a burden to the people. It is more important to change the policies more than the form and the people. It is very important that power and rights are in the hand of the people who really want and are capable of substantiating democracy and human rights in the current rulers. It is not good for us if there are more hardliners…we will be far away from democracy.

If they have the dialogues after the change, they will be welcomed by both the people of Burma and the world. At the moment, the whole world is condemning the regime and the country is facing economical, political and social problems. It will be a mistake if the hardliners are still in power…it won’t be good for them and it won’t be good for anyone.
