Myanmar to upgrade state-run TV-4
Myanmar to upgrade state-run TV-4
YANGON, Oct 27, 2009 (Xinhua via COMTEX) — Myanmar will upgrade the broadcasting frequency system of the state-run Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV)-4 channel from Ultra High Frequency (UHF) to Very High Frequency (VHF) starting March next year, sources with the Myanmar Online Co.Ltd said on Tuesday.According to the company’s statistics, a total of 12 million audiences view the channel.
MRTV-4, which includes paid channels and free-to-air one, have been aired from over 30 relay stations with the use of digital and analog systems to cover Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw and its nearby areas.
The MRTV-4, which was originally a paid channel and jointly implemented by the state-run MRTV in Yangon and the private-run Forever Group, started partly free-to-air telecast in Dec. 2006 and later extended to other regions in the country.
The free-of-charge programs of the MRTV channel mainly comprise entertainment, documentaries, Sunday talks and so on, and the eight-hour programs was aired three times to meet 24-hour run, according to the Forever Group.
The MRTV, established 60 years ago, is carrying out heavy functions and is striving to air quality radio and TV programs across the country, extending functions to link countrywide network by converting analogue system into digital one, and expanding coverage to other countries.
The MRTV has launched four channels including Myanmar and English languages to telecast news, education and entertainment programs since color television was introduced in the country in 1980.
Meanwhile, the military-run Myawaddy TV, which is next to MRTV, started telecasting in March 1995 and has morning and evening services at present. It plans to introduce a 24-hour service in the country to cater to the demand of domestic watchers.
In cooperation with China Central Television (CCTV), Cable Networks News (CNN) and the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), there is satellite news available with the MRTV.
Thaksin and Suu Kyi: How can you compare hell with heaven?
Cambodian PM Hun Sen says Thaksin Shinawatr should get the kind of world attention that Aung San Suu Kyi gets.
That statement has inevitably become immediately controversial, for obvious reasons and the “uncomparable comparison” has drawn reactions from various quarters.
The most striking perhaps has come from former diplomat Surapong Jayanam who was once Thai ambassador to Burma.
Surapong usually doesn’t pull punches when it comes to making his political statements.
So, when Hun Sen said he considered Thaksin as respectable as Suu Kyi, Surapong retorted:
“The difference between the two is like heaven and hell.”
Do I have to ask who’s heaven and who’s hell?

Twelve bombs explode in Kokang capital in weekend

Ruili (Mizzima) – Two months after clashes between the Kokang ceasefire group and the Burmese Army, 12 bombs exploded on October 24 evening in the Kokang capital Laogai, which was captured by junta’s forces.
The explosions occurred near the Chinese architectural style seven-tiered spire roof building and gold shop owned by the new Kokang leader and MNDAA Chairman Pai Song Chein. The entire area is under the control of junta’s forces after it reconstituted the MNDAA with new leaders of its choice.
“The dozen bombs exploded one after the other on October 24 from 8 p.m. to midnight. There is a big building with a seven-tiered spire like roof in Chinese architectural style. The bomb, which exploded near the building was the most powerful,” a trader living in Kokang region told Mizzima.
Aung Kyaw Zaw, military analyst and observer based on the Sino-Burma border confirmed the bomb blasts. But no one has taken responsibility yet for the explosions. There is no information regarding casualty. Local people are tense and anxious, it is learnt.
In the wake of clashes between the MNDAA and the Burmese Army, over four days in late August, about 30,000 refugees were forced to flee to China. Only one third of them have come back home, the trader said.
Former MNDAA Chairman and chief of Kokang forces Peng Kya Shin refused to accept the junta’s proposal of transforming his army into the junta controlled Border Guard Force (BGF).
Following the rejection, the Burmese Army attacked the Kokang Army on the pretext of searching an arms factory and investigating a drug business operating there. Peng Kya Shin fled from the region.
The junta has set up a Regional Military Operation Command based at Laogai and deployed about 10 infantry battalions near the Kokang capital city.
Thai security forces raid KNU leaders’ homes in Mae Sot

New Delhi (Mizzima) – Surprise raids were carried out by Thai security forces on Tuesday on the homes of several top ranking leaders of the Karen National Union (KNU), an ethnic armed rebel group, in Thailand’s Mae Sot, opposite Burma’s Myawaddy town.
At around 6 a.m. on Tuesday, members of the Thai police and the army raided the residence of KNU leaders including Chairman Saw Tamala Baw and Vice-chairman David Thackerbaw in Mae Sot, according to Naw Zipporah Sein, General Secretary of the KNU.
However, she said she was unaware of the details as she was not at home during the raid.
Nan Phaw Gay, editor of the Mae Sot-based Karen Information Centre, meanwhile, said, “Relatives of KNU members told us that Thai authorities came to their homes and conducted the raid.”
“It was possibly to search for weapons suspected to be in the possession of the KNU members,” she said, adding that she was unaware of any arrest.
But David Thaw KNU committee member told Mizzima that the raid might be connected with the recent regional summit in the Thai beach resort town of Hua Hin during the weekend.
“Thein Sein [Burmese Prime Minister] seemed to have pressed the Thai government during the recent ASEAN summit not to allow any opposition to take shelter on Thai soil,” said David Taw.
During the 15th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit, Thein Sein told his Thai counterpart that Burma will not allow any Thai dissidents to use Burmese territory as bases to attack the kingdom.
Thai Security Raids Homes of Karen Leaders
Thai soldiers and police entered the homes and offices of more than 10 leaders of the Karen National Union (KNU) and its military wing, the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), around 6 a.m. On Tuesday morning, a KNU source said.
Wife of Col Ner Dah Mya, the son of late KNU leader Gen Bo Mya, has been detained after police found powder for making explosives at his house, KNU sources said.
The purpose of the raids is not clear and The Irrawaddy has been unable to get independent confirmation.
Leaders whose homes were raided included: Gen Tamla Baw, the chairman of the KNU; Zipporah Sein, the general secretary of the KNU, and Saw David Takabaw, the vice-president of the KNU.
The Thai officers were looking for ammunition but found nothing at the homes of the other KNU and KNLA leaders, who were not arrested, sources said.
Many exiled community and political organizations’ offices and migrant schools in Mae Sot are closed for security reasons. Rumors circulating in Mae Sot suggest more raids will occur.
Observers said Thai authorities have stepped up pressure on KNU and KNLA leaders since early this year.
Burmese exiled leaders in Mae Sot predict that Mae Sot’s security conditions will worsen and become more dangerous after the Burmese military-sponsored 2010 election.
An exiled Burmese leader said the junta’s Karen allies that split from the KNU—the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army and the KNU/KNLA Peace Council—are working with the Burmese government’s Military Security Affairs to threaten opposition groups based in Mae Sot.
The KNLA has been fighting the Burmese government since 1948.
After junta forces captured their headquarters at Mannerplaw in Burma in 1995, the KNLA has attacked junta forces using small units based in temporary jungle camps in eastern Burma near the Thai-Burmese border.
In March, Thai authorities told KNU leaders not to engage in military activities while on Thai territory and ordered them to obtain permission when they wanted to enter Mae Sot.
At the 15th Asean Summit in Cha-Am in Thailand this weekend, Burmese Prime Minister Thein Sein told Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva that Burma will not allow anyone to use Burmese territory to attack Thailand.
