Teachers Day is celebrated in my son’s school today. He came home very happy. There was a grin on his face. Like some one who has found a fortune. I asked him why he was so happy.

Some of the videos available on the net today on the China earthquake. Contrast the Chinese government’s and the Burmese government’s response to a natural disaster. It is sad . It is tragic for both countries but the Burmese people seem so neglected by their government. 
I am totally stunned as the dimensions of the human suffering unfold in Burma as its military junta steadfastly refuses to accept or is unable to accept the scale of the tragedy within its own borders. Aid agencies say supplies are urgently needed in affected areas.

Bengbeng : Selamat Gawai.
Fiona : Belum lagi. Lama lagi. ( Not yet. A long time to go ) Look at the foremen. He is Iban. He is reading the building plans.All the workers are following his orders. Did you hear that? He said, ” You “. Itu bahasa orang putih. In my longhouse the educated ones also speak ” You and I ”
