Another academic year has started, andstudents of all basic education schools arenow attending classes. Teachers on their partare trying their best for nurturing theirstudents to become qualified humanresources.

All are to actively participate in theschool health activities while striving forputting the classrooms in place, fulfillment oftextbooks and exercise books and supply ofpotable water to schools.

As mosquitoes breed most in the rainyseason, the risk of causing mosquito-relatedinfectious diseases is high. Man can developDengue Hemorrhagic Fever if he is bitten byAedes aegypti a kind of mosquito that usuallyhides in dark places during day time. Othermosquito species can cause malaria,meningitis and elephantiasis.

Therefore, steps are to be taken to getrid of mosquito larvae in stored clean water.Meanwhile, efforts are to be made to keepwards, compounds of houses and schools anddrains always clean.

Moreover, the extensive use of waterpurifiers, toilets and fly-proof latrines is to beintroduced in schools while exercisingchlorination in some schools without waterpurifiers.

We firmly believe that as the Ministryof Health and relevant organizations, teachersand parents are extensively engaged insanitation activities in order to get rid ofvarious kinds of mosquitoes, each and everyschool child will be free from illnesses causedby mosquitoes.

Let’s nurture the sapling of democracy (2)(Continued from yesterday)

In the 1990 election, NLD won 392 seats, morethan 300 of which were reduced due to transformingthemselves into independent representatives-elect,demise, resignation, disqualifications, violation ofexisting laws, and other reasons. So, the number ofremaining representatives-elect of the party stands atonly nearly 80. The representatives-elect total around120 if the number of NLD representatives-elect isadded to that of other parties and independentrepresentatives-elect. So, it is safe to say that NLDrepresentatives-elect make up 24 per cent of the totalnumber of representatives-elect.

According to the constitution, the quorum ofrepresentatives-elect to call for a hluttaw (parliament)session is one-third of the total number ofrepresentatives-elect. The 1974 constitution says, “TheCouncil of State shall convene a session of the PyithuHluttaw as soon as possible if 34 per cent of all themembers of the Pyithu Hluttaw so requisition”.Apparently, the demand made by about 80 remnantNLD representatives-elect for convening a hluttawsession does not meet the norms of our country andother countries. Furthermore, the term of a hluttaw isdesignated four or five years, so the term has expiredfor many years. We have to leave past experiences inthe past. A person cannot dream continuously thewhole life. It will be over when he wakes up. If a pastexperience is no longer reasonable, we cannot use it atpresent and in future. I wish both NLD and experiencedpoliticians would notice about that point.

Anyhow, NLD should no longer stick to the1990 election results. It was just in the past. It has tomake its history, while trying its best and takinglessons from the past experiences and creating abrighter future.

So, it has to correct its mistakes if it has madesome. If it persists in doing wrong instead of correctingits mistakes, it will never escape from consequencesof doing wrong. It is impossible that it will not getback on the correct path automatically. There is asaying that goes, “Attahi Attano Natho” which meansthat the person on whom one can rely is he himself.Therefore, NLD has to mend its ways.

Among the political policies, democracy isendowed with essence and it can shape the future of anation and the people. However, in this regard, it isrequired to exercise democracy correctly. If not, wecannot benefit from the exercise of democracy. Asmentioned above, although 235 parties work in allianceto introduce democracy, the nation’s goal will nevercome to fruition if the parties are vying for power anda party is anxious to monopolize the power due to itsarrogance just after winning the votes of only one-third of the eligible voters.

In a bid to practise democracy correctly, all theparties and the entire people have to be convinced ofthat notable point. Here, the people have to take time tillthey are mature enough to exercise democracy. In theprocess, we have to take steps according to the prevailingsituations, and we should not ignore the prevailingsituations. If we persist in ignoring the prevailingsituations to implement the processes, we will face evilconsequences, rather than fruitful results. I would say,we should have patience in nurturing the people and wehave to suppress the desire of enjoying fruits of ourlabours immediately. Only then, will it be possible forus to enjoy democracy in a correct way.

It is easier said than done in exercising democracy.Indeed, democracy by nature is very fascinating, butwe can suffer a lot if we are not capable of exercisingit correctly. And the situations will go from bad toworse if egoism, personality cult and selfishness arecommon. Our country once exercised the parliamentary

Kyaw Min Lu (Shwepyitha)democracy in the post-independence period. Owing toconflicts and the sectarianism between political partiessuch as AFPFL, BCP and Pa-Ma-Nya-Ta, nationalunity broke up and armed conflict was raging, and thewhole nation was close to ashes. To make mattersworse, the nation went through the hell of internal armedinsurgency for more than 40 years. So, as for Myanmarpeople, democracy had a bitter taste. It was not becauseof democracy, but because of those who implementeddemocracy, and those who were desperate to come topower with egotism, attachment to the party concerned,and selfishness, and those who bore jealousy anddisturbed others. We should not forget that the nationwas paralyzed with a variety of problems and the peoplehad to live in a state of panic, following the conflictsbetween politicians and intra-party conflicts.

In most countries, there is no country where thenumber of political parties is as many as over 200 and nocountry where the number of parties that stand forelection, is as many as over 90. On average, a nation hastwo major parties—the ruling party and the oppositionparty, or three or four parties. In general, they havedifferent policies and stances. However, while thewinning party is in office, the opposition party does notoppose or criticize whatever the winning party does.The opposition party supports and cooperates for prudentacts, and objects to and gives suggestions about imprudentacts of the winning party. Whatever it may be, the twoparties give priority to the national interest and worktogether with the sense of democracy. So, irreconcilabledisagreements and harsh criticisms are very rare betweenthe two parties. Only when the two major parties areknowledgeable enough about democracy, can the nationand the people enjoy the essence and benefits ofdemocracy. It is required of the major parties to serve asan exemplar exercising mature and fine democracytraditions if they are pursuing the democracy goal.

The approval of the new constitution puts an endto the 1990 election results, however I do not wantNLD to consider itself to be defeated. In the past, itpointed out lack of timeframe for many times. The2010 election has a timeframe. Therefore, I wouldlike to suggest that NLD should not take the 1990election results into consideration and should prepareitself for the 2010 election. If so, the party will acceptthat the new constitution is the fundamental factor for itssuccess. This constitution is not a rigid one. It took longfor the democracy countries to enjoy the democracyrights at the present level. With political and economicdevelopment, and more knowledge of democracy, thepeople will be able to enjoy better democracy rights.When it is opportune, amendments can be made to theconstitution as necessary after holding discussions inline with the provisions. So, I would say there is no needto worry to that degree.

Furthermore, the people have gained much moreeducation, knowledge, concept and stances ifcompared with theirs in the 1990s. The babies at thattime have cast ‘yes’ vote for the constitution. Thus,the party should have given up unreasonabledemands, sticking to the results of 18 years ago. It ishigh time NLD participated in the democracytransition processes to provide impetus for them.

As a matter of fact, the government, the people andthe Tatmadaw had to sacrifice a lot of time and labourand used good opinions to complete up to the fourth ofthe seven-step Road Map. So, it is not wise to restart theseven-step Road Map and demand discussions for theRoad Map. Moreover, the constitution has bestowed thepeople with the rights to all eligible persons to participatein the remaining steps. If NLD and veteranorganizations abide by the law, they will all have therights to take part in the remaining steps. At a timeof very delicate situations for transition to democracy,

peace, stability and development are necessary forthe nation and the people. So, NLD and veteranorganizations have to take great care in addressingany cases that might harm national interests. Andthey should not accidentally tarnish the image ofthe nation and the people. Really, I hope win-winsolution to the issues without infringing the seven-step Road Map.

Surely, a political party is knowledgeable to anextent about delicate situations in the political andracial affairs. If they give priority to short-term interests,they will face a similar experience in which a stupidcrow lost its life riding the carcass of an elephantfloating in the sea.

It is easy to destroy things, whereas difficult tobuild things. It is many times more difficult andcomplicated to repair and reconstruct the ravagedthings. Today, the government, the people and theTatmadaw are working in collaboration in an effort toachieve the common goal. Now, the nation haspotential for development. It is imprudent todestabilize the nation on the basis of the strongdesire to come to power and to enhance thedomination of the party concerned. It is time theyworked hard to achieve their goal by effectivelyapplying the good circumstances and uniqueopportunities.

As mentioned above, approval of the constitutionmeans creating a good opportunity for all politicalparties. They should not miss this golden opportunity.NLD has risen constantly against the government, butthe government has been showing its benevolent attitudeand understanding them. So, it has made clear that it isnot too late for NLD to grab the golden opportunity.

So, they should have reduced the momentum oftheir anti-government acts. They should not even planin complicity with CRPP to form a parallel government.And they should no longer cling on to the mandate orthe 1990 election results. They should no longer dreamabout a hluttaw session. They should no longer try tolaunch political attacks on the government under thepretext of Nargis. They should make positive offers forcooperation instead of releasing anti-governmentannouncements. Why should not they makepreparations to stand for election in accordancewith the approved constitution in the 2010 multi-party democracy general election? What I expect isall positive situations.

To put it in a nutshell, the new constitution hasbeen approved by the mandate of the people. The2010 multi-party democracy general election iswaiting to provide seats to the winning party. Whenhluttaws at different levels are formed with the people’srepresentatives to be elected in the elections, thegenuine discipline-flourishing modern developeddemocratic nation has come into shape. So, thedemocracy goal aspired by the entire people is withinour reach. We are now close to our goal and ourefforts are making good headway.

Here, I would like to make a positive suggestionthat NLD prepare itself for standing for election inconformity with the laws in the 2010 election for itssurvival. Making preparations for the forthcomingelection is the best and most appropriate choice.The election is the most suitable path with minimumharms for the nation and the people. I expect theywill mend their ways as soon as possible before it islate to choose the correct path.

As for me, I would very much like to see NLDand its followers getting on the correct path andnurturing the sapling of democracy with thedemocracy and national concepts for the nationand the people.

Western Australia (WA) has been experiencing agas crisis since the explosion in a Varanus Island gasplant on 3 June.

The accident cut off 30 per cent of WA’s domesticgas supply, causing thousands of workers being eitherlaid off or forced to take annual leave until supplies areresumed.

Rudd said in the Parliament that it was importantfor the federal government to work closely with itsstate counterpart to help manage the impact of the gasoutage.

The loss of gas supplies in the west could alsoimpact on the rest of the Australian economy, hewarned.

“There is a significant impact on WA economicactivity and on growth, and on exports in that state,”Rudd said.

Several WA mining and industrial companies,including exporters, have been forced to scale backproduction because of cuts to gas supplies.

Official thinktank saysquake costs China $73b

EU Parlt endorses toughervehicle safety standards

BEIJING, 20 June—Direct economic lossesfrom last month's SichuanProvince earthquakecould reach 400 to 500billion yuan (58 to 73billion US dollars),according to a major statethinktank.

The overall impact onthe national economy,however, was likely to beminor, said the StateInformation Centre, athinktank under theNational Developmentand Reform Commission,the country’s top planningagency.

The centre said in a

report published Wednes-day that the quake mightreduce China’s economicgrowth by just 0.1percentage point. And thelosses well might be offsetby the huge costs ofrebuilding, which couldraise fixed assetinvestment growth by 1.1percentage points and helpthe economy grow 0.4percentage points faster.

Most of the damagewasn’t covered by in-surance, as awareness ofsuch products is low inremote areas, analystssaid. Indeed, as of Sunday,insurers had paid out only

316 million yuan for249,000 quake-relatedclaims, according to theChina Insurance Regu-latory Commission.

Of that amount, 179million yuan was for lifeclaims and 137 millionyuan for property claims,the industry regulatornoted.

Afghans say startanti-Taleban offensive

in southARGHANDAR (Afghanistan), 20 June —Helicopter

gunships and troops with small and heavy arms blasteda valley in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday aslocal and NATO forces launched a huge offensiveagainst hundreds of Taleban insurgents, many ofwhom broke out of jail last week.

Some 600 Taleban fighters on Monday took overvillages in Arghandab, on the northern outskirts ofKandahar City, days after freeing hundreds of inmatesin an attack on the city’s main jail, according to theTaleban and an Afghan official.

Taleban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf saidmilitants had set their sights on Kandahar itself, themovement’s birthplace, which lies about 20 kilometres(12 miles) from Arghandab.

After massing troops, Afghan Army and NATO-led forces have now started an offensive to flush outthe Taleban from the villages, while stepping upsecurity in Kandahar City and imposing a nightcurfew.

Croatia 2 - 4 Turkey

BADEN, 20 June — Strikers are finding Euro 2008more difficult than defenders because of the demandsof a long season, Italy coach Roberto Donadoni said onWednesday.

So far none of Donadoni’s strikers have scored butthe coach is refusing to come down hard on Luca Toni,Antonio Cassano, Alessandro Del Piero or Antonio DiNatale.

“I believe we are in the period of the season whereit is not easy. After a long, hard season, it is a lot easierfor defenders than attackers,” he told a news confer-ence. The 44-year-old acknowledged that his asser-tion may not hold true for Spain, whose forwards havebeen flying with David Villa scoring a hat-trick in theiropening 4-1 win over Russia. —MNA/Reuters

Make donations to the storm victims

� Everybody may make donations freely.

� Everybody may make donations to any person or any area.

However, wellwishers are urged to avoid unsystematic donations and acts that

may tarnish the image of the nation and its people.

� Certain internal and external anti-government elements, self-centred persons

and unscrupulous elements are now seeking their self-interests by sending to the

foreign news agencies stories about relief and rehabilitation work they have

made up and shot on video.

� Storm victims are hereby warned to remain vigilant with nationalistic spirit

against the deceptions of the self-centred persons and unscrupulous elements.1234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789011234567890123456789012345678901212345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890112345678901234567890123456789012123456789012345678901234567890121234567890123456789012345678901
