instigated the people to oppose the draft constitution before the national referendum was held.
But Myanmar people were able to overcome the instigation of those broadcasting stations that
are worse than Nargis."..."Floating hospitals in service of storm victim patients in Bogale,

parents and children..."...ARTICLE: "Storm-hit areas will have been regenerated with
thriving trees and crop plantations by next year" by
Hlaing Aung: "...Now, the situations are not serious due to the supplies
provided by the government, entrepreneurs, internal and
international donor countries and organizations, as well as
rehabilitation measures. The residents of Ayeyawady Division
have to withstand the difficulties only this monsoon. In order
to enable them to have resilience, the government, entrepreneurs
and organizations are providing assorted supplies including
shelters, food, paddy seeds for cultivation, tractors and cattle...In the forthcoming paddy harvest season after this
rainy season and cold season, the whole Ayeyawady
region will have been rehabilitated with thriving paddy
fields. By then, Ayeyawady dwellers will have risen
from the evil consequences of the storm.
Surely, Ayeyawady Division will be fully
regenerated with thriving trees and crop plantations by
next year...There were some voices saying that only with free access
would there be many more supplies. The term free access?
is simple, but very effective. That also means that the
donors will have to be kept open and they are to be given
permission to inspect all the houses thoroughly at will. It
is food for thought...".....
"PERSPECTIVES": "Establish more tree plantations
and forests for environmental
conservation".

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...".....
