Aung San Suu Kyi ‘one more lost award’ away from giving Rohingya citizenship


News that later today (UK time) the City of Edinburgh may revoke their Freedom of the City award to Aung San Suu Kyi has apparently prompted her to reconsider her policy of refusing to give citizenship to the Rohingya.

Her lawyer and close advisor, Michael Marett Circleby, as usual speaking to media on condition of anonymity, told Burma Tha Din that although she might not show it, Aung San Suu Kyi is actually very concerned by the removal of many awards in response to her defence of the mass rape and slaughter of Rohingya villagers.

“We managed to avoid legal action at the international criminal court, the suspension of aid to the government, and economic sanctions, but these awards keep being revoked and it’s just not fair,” said Marett Circleby “Everyone expects the impossible and should just go away and leave her alone.”

Organisations which have revoked awards to Aung San Suu Kyi said that this justified their decision to remove the awards whilst not doing anything else to help the Rohingya or anyone else in Burma.

New Commission on Commission Names Established


The President’s Office has established the Emergency Commission For The Naming Of Commissions On Rakhine State (ECNCRS) following the realisation that the government was running out of combinations of names for commissions on the situation Rakhine State. Officials have warned that there are few combinations left for the key words ‘Commission’, ‘Committee’, ‘Advisory’, ‘Rakhine’ and ‘Implementation’.

Headhunting begins for foreign diplomats to front new Advisory Commission to the Committee for the Implementation of the Recommendations on Rakhine State by the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State on the implementation of the Recommendations of the Rakhine Commission of Enquiry.


Despite the Rakhine Commission of Enquiry not being expected to make its report until late next year, following difficulties in finding foreign diplomats gullible, naïve or unprincipled enough to front the Rakhine Commission of Enquiry, the State Counsellors office has already begun the search for members of a planned Advisory Commission to the Committee for the Implementation of the Recommendations on Rakhine State by the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State on the implementation of the Recommendations of the Rakhine Commission of Enquiry.

“I don’t know why we are finding it so hard to find people to help,” a senior government official told Burma Tha Din shortly after the abrupt sacking of the Advisory Board for the Committee for Implementation of the Recommendations on Rakhine State.
