Nobel Peace Prize 1991

Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. The decision of the Nobel Committee mentions:[113]

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) for her non-violent struggle for democracy and human rights.

...Suu Kyi's struggle is one of the most extraordinary examples of civil courage in Asia in recent decades. She has become an important symbol in the struggle against oppression...

...In awarding the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wishes to honour this woman for her unflagging efforts and to show its support for the many people throughout the world who are striving to attain democracy, human rights and ethnic conciliation by peaceful means.

—Oslo, 14 October 1991

Living Legacy Award 2001

Aung San Suu Kyi is one of the world's most prominent figures in the struggle to advance democracy and human rights. In response to the tyranny and brutality of the military regime ruling her native Burma, she has become a unifying voice for the oppressed. She founded the National League for Democracy (NLD) and led it to a landslide electoral victory in 1990; the Burmese government has never honored that election. Despite enduring house arrests, separation from her loved ones, and threats against her life, she has refused to be silenced. Her unwavering commitment to securing a free Burma through non-violent means is an inspiration to people around the world.

She was born on June 19, 1945, in Rangoon, Burma (now known as Yangon, Myanmar.). She is the daughter of Aung San, a martyred national hero of independent Burma and a liberation leader. Her mother, Khin Kyi, was a distinguished Burmese diplomat. Mohandas Gandhi influenced Daw Aung San Suu Kyi in the philosophy of non-violent protest as a mean of bringing democracy to her country.

She went to school in Burma until 1960, when her mother was appointed ambassador to India. Suu Kyi studied in India and went on to further her education at Oxford University. There, she met her future husband, Michael Aris; the devoted couple later had two sons. In 1988, Aung San Suu Kyi returned to Myanmar to take care of her dying mother. While there, she saw the mass slaughter of protesters by the brutal military government. She defiantly began a peaceful struggle for democracy and human rights

She co-founded the National League for Democracy (NLD), the main opposition party in Myanmar. Aung San Suu Kyi was placed under house arrest to prevent her from competing in elections as the head of the new democratic movement. Her party won the national election by a wide margin in 1990, but the military dictatorship refused to honor the will of the people, and supressed all who opposed it to this day. The military constanty sought to force Suu Kyi to leave the country to return to her family in England from which they had kept her apart. She refused to do so until the country was returned to civilian government and political prisoners were freed, and bore the heavy coat on her personal happiness with her family in service to this higher calling. After looking at her accomplishments and her background, we must look at why Suu Kyi has gained support both domestically and internationally. She remained under house arrest until January 2001.

When Suu Kyi won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee released a statement about her in recognition of her work. Part of it stated that: "She has become an important symbol in the struggle against oppression. "
She is a peace hero in every sense and as Vaclav Havel said, "an example of the power of the powerless." Her fear did not stop her from doing what was right, even if it meant her life. She knew what was important and realized the sacrifices that have to be made. Aung San Suu Kyi still fights to this very day for democracy to come to Myanmar, and wants to be able to enjoy it with the people.

In the last four years her movements have still been restricted. While she has had some opportunities to telephone her family in England, she is regularly denounced in the government-controlled media, and there is concern for her personal safety. Efforts to revive any NLD party activities have been balked, and its members have been jailed and physically attacked. In the first months after detention was ended, she was able to speak to large gatherings of supporters outside her home, but this was stopped. Yet her popularity in the country has not diminished.

Internationally her voice has been heard not infrequently. Reporters with cameras and videotape have been able to interview her in person, and telephone interviews with the media outside Burma have also been published. Using video cassettes she has sent out statements, including the keynote address to the NGO Forum at the U.N. International Women's Conference in Beijing in August 1995.

There have been a number of visitors from abroad, including a member of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, whom she told that Norway will be the first country she will visit when free to travel. SLORC has changed its name to the State Peace and Development Council, but its repressive policies and violation of human rights continue unabated.

Suu Kyi discourages tourists from visiting Burma and businessmen from investing in the country until it is free. She finds hearing for such pleas among western nations, and the United States has applied economic sanctions against Burma, but Burma's neighbours follow their policy of not intervening in the internal affairs of other sovereign states, and Burma has been admitted into the Association of South Eastern Asian Nations.

On March 27, 1999, Michael Aris died of prostate cancer in London. He had petitioned the Burmese authorities to allow him to visit Suu Kyi one last time, but they had rejected his request. He had not seen her since a Christmas visit in 1995. The government always urged her to join her family abroad, but she knew that she would not be allowed to return. This separation she regarded as one of the sacrifices she had had to make in order to work for a free Burma.

2009 international pressure for release and Burmese general election, 2010
Aung San Suu Kyi may be released "so she can organise her party," [85] for the upcoming Burmese general election. Though, it is unclear if she will be allowed to run as a candidate.
Burma's relaxing stance, such as releasing political prisoners was influenced in the wake of successful recent diplomatic visits by the US and other Democratic governments, urging of encouraging the Burmese towards democratic reform. U.S. President Barack Obama intends to personally advocate on the behalf of all political prisoners especially Aung San Suu Kyi, during the US-Asean Summit of 2009.[86]
Democratic governments hope that successful general elections would be a optimistic indicator of the Burmese governments sincerity towards eventual democracy. [87]. The Hatoyama government which spent 2.82 Billion yen in 2008, has promised more Japanese foreign aid to encourage Burma release Aung San Suu Kyi in time for the elections; and to continue striding towards democracy and the rule of law.[88].

In The Quiet Land

(By Daw Aung San Suu Kyi)

In the Quiet Land,

no one can tell

if there's someone who's listening

for secrets they can sell.

The informers are paid in the blood of the land

and no one dares speak what the tyrants won't stand.

In the quiet land of Burma,

no one laughs and no one thinks out loud.

In the quiet land of Burma,

you can hear it in the silence of the crowd

In the Quiet Land,

no one can say

when the soldiers are coming

to carry them away.

The Chinese want a road;

the French want the oil;

the Thais take the timber;

and SLORC takes the spoils...

In the Quiet Land....

In the Quiet Land,

no one can hear

what is silenced by murder

and covered up with fear.

But, despite what is forced,

freedom's a sound

that liars can't fake and no shouting can drown.



Free bird towards a free Burma

(By Daw Aung San Suu Kyi)

My home...

where I was born and raised

used to be warm and lovely

now filled with darkness and horror.

My family...

whom I had grown with

used to be cheerful and lively

now living with fear and terror.

My friends...

whom I shared my life with

used to be pure and merry

now living with wounded heart.

A free bird...which is just freed

used to be caged

now flying with an olive branch

for the place it loves.

A free bird towards a Free Burma.

Why do I have to fight???

(By Daw Aung San Suu Kyi)

They killed my father a year ago,

And they burnt my hut after that

I asked the city men "why me?"

they ignored"I don't know,

mind your business,"

the men said.

One day from elementary school I came home,

Saw my sister was lifeless, lying in blood.

I looked around to ask what happened,

if somebody'd known,

Found no one but living room as a flood.

Running away by myself on the village road,

Not knowing where to go but heading for my teacher

Realizing she's the only one who could help to clear my throat,

But this time she gave up,

telling me strange things in fear.

Why, teacher, why.. why.. why?

I have no dad nor a sister left.

To teach me and to care for me you said, was that a lie?

This time with tearful eyes she,

Again, said...

"Be a grown one, young man,

Can't you see we all are dying?

And stop this with your might as soon as you can,

For we all are suffering."

Palestine and Israel Conflict : Part 3

I would like to say happy holiday to all fellow teachers and students who started school holiday in Malaysia from today until early January 2010. Please take this opportunity during this holiday by doing things that are beneficial to the development of self, family, community and country. For me, this is the time i will use for browsing the Internet, reading an interesting books and sightseing with my family.

Today we have reached the third part in a series of conflicts between Israel and Palestine.

In this part, the question we should ask ourself is :

1. Is it true that there are different treatment between Israel and the Arab population in Gaza and the West Bank?

2. Is it true that Syria is not under threat of attack from Israel because they do not allow their country to be use as a place to attack Israel's position?

3. Is it true that Israel feel easy to deal with Fatah compared with Hammas?

4. Is it true that the Palestinian Arab people experience poverty because they lost their jobs because they work in areas controlled by Israel?

I have a great pleasure if the arab palestine can contact me to facilitate me in getting information from the actual perspective of Palestinian Arab people.

By the way, I also want to thank the people of Israel that has come forward with the information about the Israeli-Palestine conflict from their perspective.

So, with their help, we will get the clear picture about the issue we are facing now.

Let see what happen in Israel and Palestine.......

1968 - 1970 - War of Attrition

The War of Attrition (Al-Istinsaf) was a limited war fought between Egypt and Israel from 1968 to 1970. It was initiated by Egypt as a way to recapture the Sinai from Israel, which had controlled it since the Six-Day War. The war ended with a ceasefire signed between the countries in 1970 with frontiers at the same place as when the war started.

The war began in June 1968 with sparse Egyptian artillery bombardment of the Israeli front line on the east bank of the canal. More artillery bombardments in the following months killed some Israeli soldiers. IDF's retaliation came on the night of October 30 when heli-borne commandos destroyed Egypt's main electricity supply. The blackout caused Nasser to cease hostilities for a few months while fortifications around hundreds of important targets were built. Simultaneously Israel reinforced its position on the east bank of the Suez Canal by constructing the Bar Lev Line, a set of thirty-five small forts running north-south along the canal guarded by infantry.

In February 1969 Egypt was ready for the next round. President Nasser declared the cease-fire from November the previous year to be null and void. On March 8 Egyptian artillery began massive shelling of the Bar Lev Line causing many Israeli casualties. Soviet MiG-21 fighters were also employed in the attack. The IDF retaliated with deep raids into Egyptian territory causing severe damage. In May, June and July 1969, 47 IDF soldiers were killed and 157 wounded. Although Egypt suffered many times more casualties than Israel, Egypt continued with its aggressive stance. Israel managed to sustain the high casualty rate but was hard-pressed to find a definite solution to the conflict.

In July Israel escalated by attacking with the Israeli Air Force (IAF). On July 20 and July 24 almost the whole IAF bombed the northern canal sector destroying anti-aircraft positions, tanks and artillery. The aerial offensive continued until December and reduced Egypt's anti-aircraft defence to almost nothing. It managed to reduce the artillery bombardment somewhat but shelling with lighter weapons and especially mortars continued.

On October 17, 1969 talks between the Superpowers began. It led to the Rogers plan that was publicized on December 9. It called for Egyptian "commitment to peace" in exchange for Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai. Both parties strongly rejected the plan. President Nasser instead opted to plead for more sophisticated weaponry from the Soviet Union to withstand the IAF's bombings. The Soviets initially refused to deliver the requested weapons.

On January 22, 1970, President Nasser secretly flew to Moscow to discuss the situation. His request for new SAM batteries (including the 3M9 Kub and Strela-2) were approved. Their deployment would require qualified personnel along with squadrons of aircraft to protect them from Israeli attacks. In effect, he needed Soviet troops in large numbers, something Moscow could not allow. He then threatened to resign, implying that Egypt might turn to Washington for help in the future.

Despite these losses the Soviets and Egyptians managed to press the air defenses closer and closer to the canal. The Soviet operated SAMs shot down a number of Israeli aircraft. Israel could not respond effectively. The SAM batteries would allow Egypt to move in artillery which in turn could threaten the Bar Lev Line. In April 1970 negotiations resumed, this time with the U.S. being the primary negotiator. A cease-fire agreement was reached on August 7. It was to last for three months and neither side was allowed to change "the military status quo within zones extending 50 kilometers to the east and west of the cease-fire line."

1968 - Battle of Karameh

In 1968, the city of Karameh served as the political and military headquarters of the Palestinian al-Fatah movement. Israeli military forces entered the city in search of the Palestinian leadership, which the Israelis labelled as terrorists. In this battle, the heavily armed and technologically advanced Israeli military was rebuffed and forced to retreat, suffering a blow to their reputation while heartening the Palestinian resistance to Israel.

The Battle of Karameh set up a series of events leading to Black September in Jordan, in which King Hussein ordered the Jordanian army to crush the emboldened Palestinian forces.

the Israel Defense Forces entered the village of Karameh on March 21, 1968. The Israelis, who aimed to destroy Fatah in their assault, were unsuccessful and quickly withdrew. Arafat managed to leave Karameh at night after being informed of the impending attack. King Hussein gave orders to the Jordanian forces to not intervene but the Jordanian general Mash'hor Haditha and some Jordanian offciers ignored their king's orders and engaged the battle. The arrival of Jordanian troops in full-force shifted the tide of the battle and managed to inflict serious damage on the IDF. In fact, the Jordanian Army's intervention was not expected at all. An estimated 28 Israeli soldiers were killed and 80 wounded; the IDF also lost four tanks. Although the Jordanian Army had been decisive, the incident was a public relations coup for the PLO and Arafat in particular. The Karameh battle boosted Palestinian morale and gave the PLO additional prestige within the Arab community.

1969 - Arafat become the Chairman of PLO

February 2, 1969Yasser Arafat, head of the Fatah party, is appointed chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, replacing Ahmad Shukeiri, after Fatah becomes the dominant force in the PLO.

Near, far, wherever you are

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime

And never let go till we're gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I hold to

In my life we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Palestine and Israel Conflict: Part 2

Hi, now we meet again in the second part.

Last week I received a message from the people of Israel. He said for years they (israeli) feel quite secure when visiting and shopping in Gaza and Jericho ... but today relations between them (palestinian and israeli) switch to enemies only because the exchange leadership between both sides .They suddenly become an enemy without a clear reason.

If it is true as presented to me, the question should we think there is a party that tries to take advantage of the difficulties people in both parties to make a profit.

So what is the role of their leaders actually ?

What role should be implemented by the United States, European Union and the OIC?

Let see what happen in Palestine and Israel......

1964 - PLO established

February 3, 1964The Palestine Liberation Organization is founded in Cairo with Ahmad Shuqeiri as its leader. Even though Ahmad Shuqeiri is the official leader, the organization is more or less controlled by the Egyptian government.

1967 - The Six Days War

After the Suez-Sinai war Arab nationalism increased dramatically, as did demands for revenge led by Egypt's president Nasser. The formation of a united Arab military command that massed troops along the borders, together with Egypt's closing of the Straits of Tiran and Nasser's insistence in 1967 that the UNEF leave Egypt, led Israel to attack Egypt, Jordan, and Syria simultaneously on June 5 of that year.

The war ended six days later with an Israeli victory. Israel's French-equipped air force wiped out the air power of its antagonists and was the chief instrument in the destruction of the Arab armies.

The Six Days War left Israel in possession of Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula, which it took from Egypt; Arab East Jerusalem and the West Bank, which it took from Jordan; and the Golan Heights, taken from Syria. Land under Israel's jurisdiction after the 1967 war was about four times the size of the area within its 1949 armistice frontiers. The occupied territories included an Arab population of about 1.5 million.

The occupied territories became a major political issue in Israel after 1967. The right and leaders of the country's orthodox religious parties opposed withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza, which they considered part of Israel. In the Labor Alignment, opinion was divided; some Laborites favored outright annexation of the occupied territories, others favored withdrawal, and some advocated retaining only those areas vital to Israel's military security. Several smaller parties, including the Communists, also opposed annexation. The majority of Israelis, however, supported the annexation of East Jerusalem and its unification with the Jewish sectors of the city, and the Labor-led government formally united both parts of Jerusalem a few days after the 1967 war ended. In 1980 the Knesset passed another law, declaring Jerusalem “complete and united,” Israel's eternal capital.

The 1967 war was followed by an upsurge of Palestinian Arab nationalism. Several guerrilla organizations within the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) carried out guerrillas attacks on Israeli targets, with the stated objective of “redeeming Palestine.” guerrillas attacks on Israelis targets at home and abroad unified public opinion against recognition of and negotiation with PLO, but the group nevertheless succeeded in gaining widespread international support, including UN recognition as the “sole legitimate representative of the Palestinians.”.

1967 - Khartoum Resolution

The Khartoum Resolution of September 1, 1967 was issued at the conclusion of a meeting between the leaders of eight Arab countries in the wake of the Six-Day War. The resolution, which formed a basis of the policies of these governments toward Israel until October War of 1973 called for:

Continued war against Israel Ending the Arab oil boycott declared during the Six-Day War An end to the war in Yemen Economic assistance for Egypt and Jordan

The resolution contains in paragraph 3 what became known as "the three nos" of Arab-Israel relations at that time.

No peace with Israel

No recognition of Israel

No negotiations with Israel

1967 - Palestinian Refugees

In 1967 war, Israel launched air strikes against Palestinian cities and towns in Gaza strip and the West Bank, the air raids pushed thousands of Palestinians to flee their villages and towns to seek shelter out of the range of Israeli artillery bombardment. The war resulted in the displacement of more Palestinians. 350,000 people were forced out by terror, expelled or left from fear. More camps were constructed to absorb this large number of refugees.

The Security Council and the General Assembly called on Israel on 14th June 1967 and 14th July 1967 to facilitate the return of these refugees. Israel pretended to comply. The Palestinians, having waited for 20 years in their miserable refugee camps hoping to move world conscience and trusting in the U.N. to allow them to return to their homes and restore their legitimate rights in their homeland, found it all in vain. The U.N. passed resolutions but did not enforce them, when they conflicted with the wishes of Israel and her guardian the U.S. world public opinion was deaf to the Palestinian cries while it was all ears to Zionist propaganda and demands to import 3,000,000 Russian Jews. Israel argued that the return of the Palestinian refugees will create more security problems for Israel. The Israeli attitude also applied to all Palestinians who left the country to seek jobs in the Gulf states, USA or Europe.

The Palestinians, finding all their country under Israeli occupation and its entire people either expelled or under alien rule, lost faith in the world community and came to realise that, even in this era of so-called civilization, International Law and U.N. Charter, might is right and what is lost by force can be regained only by force. They intensified, therefore, their resistance by guerrilla attacks against Israeli military personnel and objectives. The Israelis retaliated by ruthless bombardment using Phantom jets and napalm against the defenseless men, women and children in their refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The Palestinian resistance was vilified by Zionist propaganda and their captured members were savagely tortured in Israeli hands.

Because you are my friend

Because you are my friend,

my life is enriched in a myriad of ways.

Like a cool breeze on a sweltering day,

like a ray of sunshine parting glowering clouds,

you lift me up.

In good times, we soar,like weightless balloonsover neon rainbows.

In bad times, you are soothing balm for my pummeled soul.

I learn so much from you;

you help me see old things in new ways.

I wonder if you are awareof the bright seeds you are sowing in me.

I'm a better person for knowing you,

so that everyone I interact with is touched by your good effect on me.

You relax me, refresh me, renew me.

Your bounteous heart envelops mein joy and love and peace.

May your life be filled with dazzling blessings,

just as I am blessed by being your friend.
