Manager433 SG .............from kohtike blogspot Below is an actual of what had happen yesterday on 27/9/07. I am a Singaporean working in Myanmar for the past 11 years. I was on my way to office( near Thuwana area) at around 4 to 4.30pm when the riot police block the road near "Super one, ILBC area". I stop my car with my wife and walk out. suddenly riot police and soldiers drove the truck around the corner and start firing shots at the crowd. we quickly ran to the side and squat down near the wall. The soldiers came down and start to shoot at us. I was shot twice but i did not know what hit me. My both leg were bruised. the soldiers and police kicked us and the rest of the crowds into the drain and shouted that they would kill us if we look at them. We were forced to stay in the drain for 15 mins and gather by the into a group. A commander came and gather his troops and drove off to Tamwe direction. After that ,i looked at my injures and and found injures on my left and right legs. My wife found the "40mm riot control munnition" empty cartridge that the soldiers shoot at me. I would like the embassy and media to know the actions of this army. We are just ordinary citizen going to work and they just shot at us for no reason. Imagine what they would do to the protesters! I would like the Singapore government would make a strong stand against this violence crack down on the monks and people. attached is the photo of my injures . I have been attended by a private doctor on my injures. The doctor said i was very lucky that the shot missed the groin area.
Cool-gal SG wah... the blue black so serious ah. got a big lump. but the way he covers his kuku bun so funny.. take care, sporean. god bless you.
Y_Shun SG Guess ASEAN can do something strong and EFFECTIVE aganist Burma now? Guess some big-deal China man who got shot then China will start doing something aganist Burma.
Cool-gal SG u think they will do wad? most probably sms the higher authorities there and ask for slightly special treatments to sporeans nia..
Y_Shun SG depends. Singapore is the 'chairman' of ASEAN this year. If they really want to do something, they can get SEA governments to post sanctions on Myanmar. I wonder what Japan is going to do...since their people are shot dead.
norm SG Human life is not precious in Burma. It is a big country, and has a big human population. Every human is just a digit there.
venny SG anyone can cfm those are bullet wounds? it would appear he was shot at least 6 times, and 2 of them went right through his right shin at point blank and he can still stand? no bone fragmentation? no cast? bullet entry wounds are pretty big as opposed to bullet exit wounds. the ones on his left thigh appears to have entered right below a major vein which might explain the more' greeness' there but the ones on the right shin doesnt look so believable....
FireIce SG off topic but i would like to mention i peep at other ppl's wanbao or ri bao and say that, along with this news, got another report about a jipoonese photojournalist or wat......he was shot....but he still continue snapping pictures.........and finally died.........
Pitot SG Big news all over the world. Very nice man, videos and photographs of this has been on all major front pages of the world's newspaper today. Japan wants an answer and is deciding whether to stop humanitarian aid to them.
ceecookie SG Hmph..cant be bothered with a Third World nation.As agreed,no point using sanctions…i rather the Americans just use the nuclear bombs to destroy Burma once and for all
