have you heard of grease and a pressure
many perceives numa paper as being
graceful and a long-term dictatorship
but the walls in these days comes to me
is grieving and a glamour why do I say
grieving and a glamour the international
community applauded us we have no
bloodshed transitions after the 2010
election but we succeeded that’s the
glamour but I feel we are grieving why
we are grieving because we are
handicapped as a society many of our
people actually don’t live in the real
world they live in virtual war let me
explain
they are all together three things that
create our virtual war they are
censorship propaganda low quality or in
effective education let me start with
the censorship
if you imagine a censorship in a
dictatorship you would imagine it is all
about controlling the politics political
censorship we certainly have that but
the censorship goes way beyond it
controls the way we believe what our
culture is supposed to be it controls
and destroy human creativity I started
writing at the age of 16 so I haven’t
gone through quite a few generations of
the pressed crude aníbal in the 1980s
it will take up to two years to get
permission to publish a novel it took me
nearly 12 years to get some of my short
stories got published
yes they were written the press scrutiny
ball would ask for the removal of the
paragraphs or the whole articles or
short stories or take off the horror
short stories so we will ink over either
black or the silver ink over the
paragraphs or glue phasing pages
together or rip out all the pages but in
1990 they improved their process we
needed submit even before printing every
manuscript including the advertisement
pages for example there should be no red
colour for illustrating the University
compound as it could be emerging as
killing the students also under the name
of maintaining national culture there
should be no earrings on the famous for
volatility come we should take off this
earrings with Photoshop all of us need
to submit hard copies of the any
manuscripts to the brush mutiny
bordignon go there is very hard for
survivor of the weekly papers from the
ethnic minority areas no email no poster
charges for that reason we cannot learn
and understand each other among our
ethnic groups via literature or medium
then it is not the end of the censorship
even the permission there is so much
editing some writers decided not to
publish because of the immense and
irrational editing by the censorship oh
it’s totally destroy and controls our
creativity then if a writers got
arrested or got put under the blacklist
they are pen names cannot be printed
because of my imprisonment my first
novel took nearly a decade to get
published and even it gets more
ridiculous the name of the blacklist is
writers cannot be published even in
something like arbitrary announcements
of the family members so I would like to
see the censorship is like blinders or
blinkers for hours eyes like causes it’s
really just show what the dictator
wanted us to see nothing about our
society itself all rest of the war after
nearly half a century of the censorship
period some things happen even though
there is no more censorship vote now we
also have senses for example I some
short story writers did not writing
about some taboo topics in their short
stories for example like lens
investigations by the military laughs a
face of the two different religious
believers we all censor each other
whatever we do or say things that are
forbidden the second thing is propaganda
brienna is like green spectacles for our
virtual wall in orden days we think our
society is green fresh and worthy
because of these green spectacles even
though the reality is it is so great dry
and not worthy
the propaganda socialist government
military government so-called reform
government’s after governments and
governments they use state’s own media
to distribute serious propaganda and
propaganda focus on everything since
there is at that time you know in
socialist days we
at all we were the luckiest people on
earth Burma is heads most resources our
culture is the best out there in the
foreign countries people eat raw meat
raw fish barbarians the 15 minutes
international news segments in the
States television its shows was people
suffering starving in Africa and
horrible storms and there is only one TV
channel in these days there is no
independent private media since 1962 10
early 2000s after 1988 it gets worse
because only that the license to
practice the media is totally controlled
by the Ministry of Information and also
because only the family members of the
military generals and the cronies get
licensed private media is not truly
private it’s another way of propaganda
channel after 1988 people started the
live on X I radio stations like Radio
Free Asia democratic voice or Burma but
even with there they are not agenda free
in other directions so after more than
half century long propaganda people
think all journalism is propaganda and
people also try to propagate each other
propaganda is really infectious that’s
why even in these days we do serious
propaganda each other but not to inform
interpret and investigate the issues
properly
that’s why we still live in the virtual
war let’s move to find that observation
our education system sadly we destroy
our education system students do not
need to learn at university or high
school our people do not know what they
don’t know and how far or how much they
don’t know
at university and school high schools
people do not need planning because you
know the teachers they got pretty low
salary compared to the other other
intellectual staff and they are Judy’s
mainly include protecting the school
buildings taking roll call and attending
the meeting with the local authority how
to pretender their students protests so
they don’t teach at schools at classes
they just teach the students at their
private tuitions so students need no
learning they just need Jewish and fees
to the right teachers at high school
students do para learning memorization
without thinking even they do not need
to memorize the whole curricula only the
part that might be in the SMS that we’re
of new learnings but are normal among
the students and parents that’s why what
the expects from the school is not
education but certificates after years
and years of the expected we became
pretty much intellectually blind you
know the censorship and propaganda can
make us fly but even a blind person
and can manage their own life if there
is the intellectual vision since because
of the education we are intellectually
blind we are handicapped so how
intellectually blind people could do we
just use illogical decisions
whatever the daily life Robbins has been
came up we really cannot use any logical
way of thinking since the education has
blocked our intellectual critical
thinking and we also use emotions as a
tool for facing the daily life
challenges when we face the information
we cannot process we react badly we
instead of considering the issues we
have our pasts for that reason after
years and years we still cannot get out
of this virtual war so how we should do
to get out of this virtual war we
seriously do need educational reform in
order to strengthen our people’s
knowledge and critical thinking we also
do need to protect and promote freedom
expression for every single person of
our society we seriously do need freedom
of expression as to respect the freedom
of expression as our collective rights
and then in order to have that kind of
understanding we do need open our minds
our inter legs open to the other
people’s intellectual point of view do
have and to guarantee every single
person’s have an equal chance to express
their vision believes and dreams without
having an illegal or physical threat and
then finally we can find out how much
suffering V O’Shea and how we can
actually understand each other only by
then we can take off our virtual reality
blinders and then we can truly be
graceful thank you
