Naypyidaw's super cabinet meeting ended with tougher line to against any colonialism and decided to resist the any foreign interfering in a social-political situations in Burma, sources close to regime said. Senior-general Than Shwe chaired the two days meeting with cabinet and military council members two days ago was renewing last cabinet meeting in July 2007.
Mainly, cabinet members who belong to hard-liner camp had accused the US, UK, France and EU for having irresponsible pressure over Burma. Group close to Than Shwe said Burmese are able to survive without international assistance for relief effort.
The whole meeting was heading to programs of re-construction and rebuilding. They calculated how much international would assist to their programs, because generals in military council lost millions of dollars after cyclone Nargis. Previously regime claimed 11 billion was gone and they are eager to netback their lost with the help from international community. They did not mention people lost their lives and possible disaster if failed to assist.
Interestingly, cabinet meeting divided into two groups; who lost their wealth and who tended to refuse pressure from UN and ASEAN because they had no interest in the Delta and Rangoon from their personal interest, source said. One group sounded to get aid and another said imposable to accept the conditional request from UN-ASEAN.
However, both side agreed not to free Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and she might be another trouble with internal issue. None of the cabinet members decided or suggested what they were willing to do with her but eager to approve senior general’s final decision.
Country’s hope and future is uncertain, approving or new constitutions, preparing for transitional period, country’s prosperity and all of the meeting agendas had full with lies, sources said.
Interest groups from business and military councils weighted Than Shwe to decide accepting assistance from international community. His first trip to cyclone effective area with businessmen and military officials but no one from cabinet included.
Sources said he was unhappy with UN chief diplomat because he expected reconstruction issue from UN but UN chief did say much about relief issue.
