Akyab, July 26: "Although Biukkhu U Uttama was the first person who torched the light of Burma freedom, his statue in Akyab now lives in dark because no light is allowed at his statue at night, a teacher from Akyab (Sittwe) said. The authorities have not only banned the lights at the U Uttama statue, but are also constructing number of buildings in U Uttama Memorial Park, endangering the existence of the park..."
