 There is nothing better that the Burmese military junta understands than raking in moolah, even if it means deforestation and massive damage to the ecology and environment. To the generals of the junta money is sweeter than honey.
The regime has worked out a scheme to bring in more revenue and has ordered the expansion of logging fields in northern Burma. The Burmese junta plans to construct a road from the Danai (Tanai) Township to Shingbwi Yang. The new logging fields will be located on the other side of Hkalung village which is near Shingbwi (Shingbwe) Yang, a source said. Related video link |

 The Burmese military regime has been playing dirty politics to prolong its rule by replacing it with a pseudo- democratic system in Burma without the consensus of the public.
