 Top of the political ledder

In September, 1946, Aung San, the President of the AFPFL, was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Executive Council of Burma by the new British Governor Sir Hubert Rance following the return of civil government to Burma.

In 1990, the military junta called a general election, which the National League for Democracy won decisively.

 

 

Eligible to be the Prime Minister

Aung San was to all intents and purposes Prime Minister, although he was still subject to a British veto.

Under normal circumstances, she would have assumed the office of Prime Minister. Instead, the results were nullified, and the military refused to hand over power.

 struggle, violent or non-violent or both

After the Aung San Attlee agreement in London for Burma's independence within a year, at the stopover in Delhi at a press conference, he stated that the Burmese wanted 'complete independence' not dominion status and that they had 'no inhibitions of any kind' about 'contemplating a violent or non-violent struggle or both' in order to achieve this, and concluded that he hoped for the best but he was prepared for the worst.

Influenced by Buddhism’s LOVING KINDNESS and Mahatma Gandhi’s  philosophy of non-violence she still refused to endorse the violent struggle for the second independence from Military rule

 POLITICAL IDEAS AND CONCEPTS

A founding member and first secretary-general of the Communist Party of Burma (CPB) in August 1939. Shortly afterwards he co-founded the People's Revolutionary Party, renamed the Socialist Party after the WW II. At first his earlier political doctrine was naturally tainted by Socialist ideas as that was the era of end of colonialism which was perceived to be associated with Capitalism. Later Aung San changed his political concept to democracy.

Daw Su was seen to be surrounded by ex-Communists in NLD. But all the people of Burma believed her that she is not going to turn the wheel of the history backwards to accept Communism or Socialism. She made it clear that she is aiming to build a democratic new Burma.

She is the only person who could successfully hold a SECOND Panglon Conference.

 Arrest orders

In March 1940, he attended the Indian National Congress Assembly in Ramgarth, India. However, the government issued a warrant for his arrest due to Thakin attempts to organize a revolt against the British, and he had to flee Burma. He went first to China, seeking assistance, but he was intercepted by the Japanese in Amoy and was went  to Japan  to get the Military training. 

She was put under the FIRST house arrest on 20 July 1989. She was offered freedom if she would leave the country, but she refused.

Some of her critics are advising her to leave Burma and to head the Democratization Movement from abroad.

 attacked

months before independence, on 19 July 1947, Aung San and six of his newly formed cabinet members including his older brother Ba Win were assassinated during a cabinet meeting. The assassination was supposedly carried out on the orders of U Saw, a rival politician; but there are romours that General Ne Win was behind the plot

On May 30, 2003, Myanmar Military government-sponsored mob attacked her caravan in the northern village of Depayin, murdering and wounding many of her supporters. Aung San Suu Kyi fled the scene with the help of her driver, Ko Kyaw Soe Lin, but was arrested upon reaching Ye-U. The government imprisoned her at Insein in Yangon. After she underwent a hysterectomy in September 2003, the government again placed her under house arrest in Yangon.

But all the Burmese people and the whole world believe that Sr General Than Shwe was behind the plot. 

 Attackers punished

U Saw and the Assassins were tried in court and had given death sentence

 

Leader of the attackers, General Soe Win was free together with the Assassins SWAN AH SHINS. General Soe Win was rewarded by SPDC with the Prime Ministership but GOD had punished him with LEUKAEMIA and removed from theat position.  

High level meetings

On 27 Jan 1947, Aung San and the British Prime Minister Clement Attlee signed an agreement in London guaranteeing Burma's independence within a year - he had been responsible for its negotiation

In March 2004, Tan Seri Razali Ismail, UN special envoy to Myanmar, met with Aung San Suu Kyi.

On May 20, 2006 and Nov 11 2006, Mr Ibrahim Gambari, UN Undersecretary General (USG) , met with Aung San Suu Kyi, 

 yanmar Tatmadaw’s unsuccessful attempt to erase the history of burma

The military regime in the 1990s tried to eradicate signs of Aung San's memory.

Following the 8888 Uprising, the government redesigned the national currency, the Kyat, removing his picture and replacing it with scenes of Burmese life.

SPDC leaders repeatedly tried to domngrade the role of Daw Suu in Myanmar.

They repeatedly say that people no more support her, she was the history. All the NLD members abandoned the party etc.

 Father and daughter’s mutual relation relationship. Family honour the service and duty towards Burma

His place in history as the Father of Burmese Independence and a national hero continues to the present day both due to his own legacy and due to the activities of his daughter.

 

Her place in history as the Leader of Burmese the Burmese Democracy movement for the second Independence and a national heroine continues to the present day both due to her own legacy and due to the indelible legacy of her father. 

Present day Myanmar Tatmadaw is -

Trying to disowned its founding father.

 

Trying to eliminate, humiliate, disgrace the only surviving daughter of their founding father. instead of protecting and loving as a sister.

 Their role in Burmese People

Both of them will be in the hearts and minds of all the people of Burma, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity. All the people trust him, love him and willing to work with him.

 If they became the Prime Ministers of Burma

If General Aung San was not assassinated and became the first PM of the Independent Burma, we all would be in a better position now.

If Daw Aung San Su Kyi is free an given the chance to lead Myanmar as the first PM of the (Second) Independent Burma, there is a very bright future for all of us.
