Six Die and Thousands Flee Torrential Rain in Burma

Article from : http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=13916

A landslide in the village of Bawbada in Mogok Township killed six people on Saturday, while flooding forced thousands of residents of Pegu Divison to flee their homes, as torrential downpours hit a wide swathe of Burma over the weekend.

Six people—three men, two women and a child—were killed in Bawbada, located about 5 miles from Mogok, on August 16, after their home was swept away by a landslide, according to Mogok resident Hla Oo.

Hla Oo said it has been raining almost continuously for three months in Mogok—known as the ruby capital of the world—and there is still no sign of it abating.

In June, at least eleven people in Mogok were killed following flooding and landslides.
Meanwhile, torrential rain which started in early August has flooded at least 25 wards and villages in Pegu Division, forcing about three thousands residents to flee the area, according to residents of Pegu, located about 105 miles from Rangoon.

Heavy rain also damaged thousands of acres of paddy fields and some fields are still flooded, said local residents. Flooded regions included Pyuntansa, Shwegyin and Madauk, all in Pegu Division.
Pe Pe, a resident of Pegu, the capital of Pegu Division, said local authorities had opened temporary rescue shelters for flood victims at schools and monasteries. Authorities and volunteer donors, including monks, are now providing food to the refugees, she said.

She added that the rain has now stopped in the area, and some residents were returning to their homes.

A police officer in Pegu who refused to be named said they established about 19 temporary rescue camps and have provided packages of rice to refugees. He said that the situation is now returning to normal and people are starting to return. He also claimed the flooding had no impact on paddy fields.

In Pyuntansa, Shwegyin and Madauk, however, the rain has not stopped and floodwaters have not subsided. Local residents said they haven’t received any assistance from the authorities. Shwegyin and Madaunk are totally flooded and people have to use boats to get around, said residents.

Chit Thar, a resident of Pyuntansa, said authorities had ignored requests for help.
“I told the Ward Peace and Development Council that we [farmers] couldn’t find paddy seeds. I asked them to sell paddy seeds to us, but they said they couldn’t,” she said.

Meanwhile, rising water levels on the Irrawaddy River have alarmed residents of Nyaungdon Township in Irrawaddy Division, who say they are worried about the possible collapse of a dam located near the village of Kachaung.

If the dam collapses, the towns of Nyaungdon, Maubin, and Twante could be flooded, said residents. The authorities have not given any warning of this threat to people in the area.
Last Saturday, the state-run Myanma Ahlin newspaper reported that the floods hit areas of Rangoon and the Irrawaddy delta, where Cyclone Nargis left a swathe of devastation in early May, as well as other regions of the country. No casualties were reported.

The Mekong, which flows 4,350 km (2,700 miles) from the glaciers of Tibet to the rice-rich delta of southern Vietnam, hit 13.68 metres (44.88 feet) in Vientiane on Thursday, trouncing a high of 12.38 metres (40.61 feet) recorded in 1966, the worst floods in living memory. (Photo: Reuters)Flooding has also hit parts of Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. In Laos, at least four people died after levels in the Mekong River reached record highs.

In Laos, Foreign Ministry spokesman Yong Chanthalansy said on Friday that four people had died outside the capital, Vientiane, after being injured in landslides triggered by the flooding. Yong said that there were reports that the flooding was receding on Friday after water levels in the Mekong had reached 44.8 feet (13.68 meters), exceeding the previous recorded high of 40.61 feet (12.38 meters) in 1966. Another report suggested that at least 130 people were killed, dozens were missing and thousands were driven from their homes in northern Vietnam, and hundreds of tourists were forced to flee the resort area of Sapa.

University student killed by police in upper Burma

New Delhi — Authorities have heightened security in Monywa University in Sagaing Division of upper Burma, after a university student was killed in a fight on Thursday night.



Eyewitnesses said, at least seven police vans are seen parked in the University campus in Monywa City, after a student named Aung Kyaw Soe Win was killed during a fight near the university campus on Thursday night.

In an interview with a person, who claimed to have witness the fight on Thursday, said Aung Kyaw Soe Win, a second year Bachelor of Arts student in Monywa University, was killed while four of his friends were arrested after they were attacked by local policemen following an argument near the university campus on Thursday evening.

The five students were returning to the University after singing in front of a girl's hostel when they were stopped by about 10 policemen, who asked them to come with them to the police station, the eyewitness said. "The police told the students that since they had been singing political songs, they must come to the police station. The police threatened them that they will be beaten up if they do not go to the police station," the eyewitness told Mizzima. "But the students refused to go and said 'we will not follow you, do what you want with us.' Then the policemen charged at the students," said the eyewitness, who requested not to be named for fear of reprisal. Reportedly, Aung Kyaw Soe Win (19), and his friend Tun Min were beaten up severely and were pushed into a police van, where Aung Kyaw Soe Win died even before he could be admitted to hospital.

Though the other three students fled, they were later arrested by the police and are currently in custody with Tun Min at the police station, he added. But on the contrary, a Buddhist monk, who resides near the university campus and claimed to have heard of the incident said, the fight was not between the students and policemen but was between student rivals.

The No (2) Monywa Police station, when contacted by Mizzima, said they have a case of brawl between students filed in the office but decline to further elaborate on the case. A classmate of Aung Kyaw Soe Win in Monywa University, when contacted by Mizzima, said while he was not aware of Aung Kyaw Soe Win's death, "he has not come for class and I called out absent on his behalf." He said police have filled up the university campus and have tightened security, though he is not aware of the police's apprehensions. Aung Kyaw Soe Win's friend, who claimed to have seen his death body, however, said, "He was badly injured on his head and his skull was smashed. Their families covered his face with a handkerchief." Aung Kyaw Soe Win and his friends on Thursday had sung political songs in front of a girl's hostel, his friend told Mizzima in an email interview.

Though he was not in the group with Aung Kyaw Soe Win, he said, he heard them sing the Burmese 'National Anthem' and other political songs that are dedicated to Burma's Independence Hero - General Aung San. In Burma, youngsters love to sing on the roadside at night, and University campuses are frequently filled with groups of young students roaming, with guitars and other light musical equipments, and singing at door-step of girl's hostels. In a country, with little space for legal entertainment for young people, the practice of singing in front of girl's hostels or on roadsides has not been considered illegal or criminal.

Meanwhile, Aung Kyaw Soe Win's friend said, the police have reportedly told his elder brother that he was under the influence of alcohol and died in a fight between students and warned him not to spread about the case. Augn Kyaw Soe Win's friend said his body will be buried on Sunday. Aung Kyaw Soe Win, who had come from 'Minn Tine Pinn' village in west of Monywa city, and was staying in Nandawun ward of Chan Mya Tharsi Township in Monywa, was pursuing his degree course in Law, according to his friend.

Chelsea Vs Ports (3-0), (4-0)

Firstly, Chelsea rocks. 4-0. I think the problem lies with Portsmouth. Their attacking is not strong enough. Defence is even worst. I thought Ports was an average team but this time around JIA LIAT LAR! Good luck to them. This is only the first match so can't really come to a conclusion.
Scoring by, Joe Cole, Botok, Lampard & lastly Deco.
I almost fainted because i bought the wrong score again. Its the 1000000000 times i draw the paper wrongly. NB.
Anyway Chelsea won with so many goals so :) very happy indeed.



Man U played really badly this time round. Newcastle goal keeper was extremely good. He use header to save goal. Swee man. Should watch! I didn't know Newcastle possess such good goal keeper and striker.
Sunderland play very well also. They have the black botok striker didou or something which is ex-liverpool striker. Very well done.
Just as i was thinking Liverpool might win the EPL, they let me down LOL.
Chelsea will win!

Opening Spain match. Valencia Vs Real Mad. (0-1), 3-2
