Burmese Prime Minister pass away

Burma's ailing Prime Minister Lt-Gen Soe Win has died at the military hospital in Mingalardon, Rangoon on Tuesday, sources said.

Soe Win, who returned to Burma on Monday from a secret medical treatment in Singapore, died at about 5:00 p.m (local time), sources added.

The Burmese Prime Minister is known to have been suffering from Leukemia and had secretly received medical treatment in Singapore.

Soe Win, who is a Senior General Than Shwe loyalist, is also known as "the Butcher of Depayin" for orchestrating the Depayin massacre in 2003 by ordering mobs to attack on pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's motorcade.

Sources said Soe Win will be replaced by Lt-Gen Thein Sein and Tin Aung Myint Oo will be promoted to Thein Sein's position as Secretary-I

Knowing how superstitious the Burmese Generals are, we can start our own scare campaign. Spread this news to all Myanmar Embassies and government offices throughout the world and tell them it's a curse for murdering monks. We'll soon see Than Shwe and his side kicks poo their pants in fear.

Finally a reason to laugh in this dark time for Burmese!

"Knowing how superstitious the Burmese Generals are, we can start our own scare campaign."

Suggestion: "Gambari is a secret member of the Ngambo vodoo tribe in Nigeria- his handshakes have the power to confuse one and cause impotence".

As for me I just want to buy a KDO III Fly and Mosquito Killing Bat.

Soe Win will return as a mosquito and my personal killing bat will destroy him.

Most Buddhist know the absolute worse thing anyone can do is to harm or kill a Monk. I pity the poor fool who did such a thing.

Let's hope Than Shwe will be next. He supposedly was treated for intestinal cancer a few months ago in Singapore as well. Hopefully the cancer will make quick work of him. This might cause a shakeup in the junta.
