About Aung San Suu Kyi

  • Born: June 19, 1945
  • Occupation: Burmese Politician
    • I've never thought of myself as being particularly brave - i used to be frightened of the dark when i was small. and i'm not very good with dead rats and things like that. but i face what has to be faced and i hope as best as i'm able.
    Dark Brave Rats
    We have been making constant efforts, all the time, to start dialogue with the slorc, but you know it takes two. we don't want a monologue. we would like a substantive political dialogue among the slorc, political leaders including myself, and leaders of ethnic groups-exactly as stipulated in the u.n. general assembly resolution on burma.
    Two Effort Leader
    I still oppose "visit myanmar year," and i would ask tourists to stay away. burma is not going to run away. they should come back to burma at a time when it is a democratic society where people are secure - where there is justice, where there is rule of law. they'll have a much better time. and they can travel around burma with a clear conscience.
    Running Years Law
    It is essential to institute a legal framework that would ensure justice and improve the quality of life in burma immediately, because the greatest suffering among the people at the moment is caused by lack of justice and lack of the rule of law.
    Law Justice People
    I think corporations should give more attention to this suffering and should wait to invest until there is a responsible government in burma. i do not think it is a good idea to separate economics from politics; in fact, i do not think economics can be separated from politics it's quite understandable that many business concerns think only about their own profits it's up to the public to put as much pressure as it can on these companies, through shareholder resolutions and public actions.
    Thinking Ideas Responsible Government
    If the restrictions on the work of my party and on me personally are not removed in the very, very near future - that is in a matter of days - i think the united states should start thinking seriously of sanctions. this is really about as bad as it has ever been.
    Party Thinking Matter
    The [burmese] government appears to be more interested in stamping out political activity than drug addiction. very few university students on the campus could get away with engaging in political activities, but they seem to be able to get away with taking drugs. we have heard that it is very easy to obtain drugs on the university campuses.
    Government University Students Addiction
    Because of rampant inflation, living standards have been dropping for the great majority of the population. the people are poorer because standards of health and education have fallen. and conditions in the rural areas are worse off than they have ever been. so, you cannot equate the so-called open-market economy adopted by the slorc with any real development that benefits people.
    Real People Population
    So, i think that for the authorities to say now that calling for sanctions will prevent dialogue is a ploy to stop us from supporting sanctions. it has to be the other way around: dialogue first, then we stop our call for sanctions, because sanctions make people understand that you cannot exercise repression and at the same time expect international support.
    Exercise Thinking People
    It's very difficult to have any faith in the sincerity of the slorc about stamping out drug production if they find it so easy to forgive a drug baron whom at one time they said they would never, never forgive and would never, never regard as anything but a drug runner. the slorc is far more aggressive in its attitude toward the national league for democracy than against drug traffickers.
    Attitude League Drug
    I do not look upon my life as a sacrifice at all.
    Sacrifice Looks Look Up
    Young people drift away from society because, in many cases, they have no hope or goals. so, hope will have to be given to the young.
    People Goal Given
