ARTICLE [continued from yesterday]: "Let?s replace earth bricks with stone ones (2)" by
Kyaw Min Lu (Shwepyitha): "...Now, the victims are
consuming the relief supplies donated by US citizens.
So, my heartfelt thanks go to them. A meal and some
drinking water are invaluable for a natural disaster
victim.
However, the strings attached to the relief supplies
carried by warships and military helicopters are not
acceptable to the Myanmar people. We can manage
by ourselves. Myanmar has many good neighbourly
countries. The people remain united in times of
emergency. Now, we have achieved success in the
relief and rehabilitation tasks to a certain degree. The
task is very challenging, but we will be able to
achieve the goal if we continue to work together with
tenacity. So, I would say don?t worry about that...".....
"PERSPECTIVES": "Carry out rehabilitation
work through concerted
efforts".
