The Cancer of Corruption, PDC Style
U Hla Thaung has been a chairman of Kayan Township Peace and Development Council, Yangon for about 2 years. When he took the office there was 60 staff working under his management. However, within the 2 years of his rein, 22 of the staff members had resigned. A reporter Lay Nge' tried to find out why.
All the Council employees were required to attend 4 or 5 meetings a month. Anyone who missed a meeting would get a week's wages cut from his/her salary. Many of the staff only earned a basic minimum wage (Kyat 30,000) and if you miss 2 or 3 meetings in a month, you have very little money to bring home. What happened to all the penalty money? It all went straight into the pocket of Chairman Hla Aung.
The SPDC military government kindly provided each of the civil servants with K60,000 over a six month period as an extra bonus of which Chairman Hla Aung intercepted K35,000 from each worker too. Each employee was compelled to sign a receipt saying that they had received the full K60,000 . It was also an obligation for all members of staff to contribute to other maintenance costs such as cleaning, gardening, magazines and journals for offices and also clubs and unions fees, which all added up to K5100 a month each.
When there was no other way to steal any more of his staff's wages, Chairman Hla Aung came up with another novel technique. At weekends, the council employees were forced to cultivate vegetables on council land for the benefit of the Chairman himself!
When the bullying became too much to bear, the employees reported the conduct of Hla Aung to the senior officials but no action was ever taken against this blatantly corrupt Council Chairman. Over the last 2 years, 22 members of staff had decided they had had enough and left the comparatively secure jobs.
So, did the Kayan Peace and Development Council replace those 22 vacancies? And more importantly, how could the council staff carry on working under such corrupt mismanagement?
Here is the answer. What happened in Kayan simply reflects conditions in all other township PDCs across the country. Corruption, bribery and bullying is endemic in every department, every rank, all over Burma.
The ‘top of the chain’ military government, known as State Peace and Development Council has managed to pass down the mismanagement and lawlessness to the very bottom of the pile and created a massive collapse of the economy and as a result the civilians are facing with waves of starvation, crime , prostitution and despair.
How could civil servants survive, with very little salary and no law to protect them from being bullied by their bosses? The answer is simple. Just bully anyone down the line - your staff and the public. But what if the public report bullying to the senior managers? Nothing. Because they are all operate in the same way. They all have the same ugly backsides to cover up. Once you started digging up others dirt, your own is bound to be exposed as well. So, that’s how Myanmar has ended up as the poorest country in the world. The military cancer of corruption that has spread to the entire national system is ultimately fatal now that democracy, the only antidote, has finally been lost.

Turned Up Late For Forced Labour ? You Are Fired
Aung Lwin
Peace and Development Council Chairman
Numkum Township
Northern Shan Shate
On 4th May, Aung Lwin summoned one person per household for labour needed to prepare wild land for a plantation of castor oil, a much hated project imposed on the population by military government all over the country.
Three days later, Sai Hla, the quarter PDC chairman , was removed from his position , for missing the first day of the forced labour sessions.
"He (Aung Lwin)is a bully alright but this is the worst case. Sai Hla was one day late to report and that was taken as lack of respect."

PDC Chairman Throws Tantrum At Farmers
Nyunt Soe
Chairman
Peace and Development Council
Zee Gone Township
Bago (Pegu')
As a Chairman of Peace and Development Council, U Nyunt Soe should be in an enviable position, leading the peaceful development of the life of the residents of Zee Gone Township. However, he found his job unexpectedly stressful and so much so that he completely lost his 'cool' at a meeting and threw a tantrum like a two-year-old toddler.
On 23rd April, U Nyunt Soe held a meeting with local farmers at Taung Ye'Gan, asking for payment for the lease of their farmlands. The farmers agreed to pay, on one condition - Nyunt Soe must produce formal receipts in return. And that single request from the farmers was too much for Nyunt Soe to bear. He completely lost his composure in full view of all at the meeting, who watched his antics in shocked amazement.
"The lease hold farmers were summoned to attend the meeting at a house in Taung Ye'Gun. The Chairman asked them for lease payments. The farmers just said , 'OK, we will. But we need the legal receipts', and with that he (Nyunt Soe) went into rage. You should have seen him smashing all the crockery and glasses."

Security Guard Beaten To Death By Authorities
Reported by Hpyo Gyi, Yoma 3
Translation by Nay Chi U
It is reported that a security guard was beaten to death by members of authorities in Bogalay, Irrawady and a township court lawyer was planning a false witness for the case.
On April 7, U Michael, the security guard at Maternal and Child Welfare Association (MCWA)office was beaten by members of local authorities, causing him to suffer serious injuries. He died as he was being transferred to Yangon General Hospital, on April 8.
“ He was taken to Bogalay Hospital on the morning of 8th but the doctors there asked him to be transferred to Yangon Hospital. He died on the way. A lawyer called Win Hlaing, who is a staff at the local judicial court has been asking the witness U Thein Tun, 7th Quarter PDC Chairman, to testify that he died of heatstroke.”
U Michael had been working there for 15 years but recently applied for retirement. However, he continued to work there as U Myo Nyunt, secretary of township PDC asked him to wait until the chairman post had been filled.
“Since Nargis, the MCWA office was used as a temporary office by the police, the military and the local PDC who all camped there 24/7. All the donated items are stored there too. Of course , Michael knew all about how those items were smuggled out and sold and how the officials drank and watched porn movies at nights.”
Michael was buried at Bogalay cemetery on 10th April. The post mortem examination results and the police reports are not yet known.
