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 a...

HyuugaNeji SG

never been in the army?

shoot at the body or chest can die you know? (even if you are using those special rounds)

never heard of shoot sky first, then shoot legs, then body?

HyuugaNeji SG

what a retard that journalist.

If the ammo hit the head, neck, heart, the risk of dying is very real and high.

mancha SG

Good grouping from rubber bullets.

wonderamazement SG

Riot control rounds...

Wait till you see what color it will become yesterday> Mr. Green

The bruises on the left thigh appears fresh.
The bruises on the right shin, has yellow rings, suggesting at least one day old.
Wall tiles as background is the same.
Patient is standing unsupported. Picture is portrait, laid landscape.

Are pictures taken on the same day or different days?
Or bruised on different days, pictures taken on same day
Or there are two different patients? The knees in the two pics do not match
Again, do the legs belong to our Singaporean(s)?

A through investigation is inorder.

Short Ninja SG

Those pics look real to me and somebody did get shot by rubber/plastic bullets.If you say it is a pic of a a Singaporean,I would say yeah why not because Singaporeans always apply that yellow stuff on open cuts and wound .By yesterday the color would have changed to more bluish black but you probably could still see the yellow because Singaporeans do apply that yellow stuffs like once every few hours> Mr. Green

Do keep this thread open to protest the treatment our Myanmar brothers are getting from the junta for their fight for democracy. As for simplistic trolls who have nothing better to do then to make fun of people's comments in order to raise your thread counts (could be a silly reason but a viable one for fools as such), please rest assure that I will do anything within my means to get you kicked out. Learn to show respect for others and others will respect you. Or carry on reading your favorite papers and keep your peace.

To all folks, sorry I was away on an overseas trip these few months. I will try to clear up some mess that have happened in the forums. Things will be back to normal soon. (Need to take care of bread and butter issues first)

While you are at it, can you make GMS thread sticky? It can raise awareness of the cruelty the Burmese junta is inflicting on its citizens.

Better still, consolidate all topics about protests in Burma into his thread.

After he gives his go ahead. 'Cause his thread is rather quiet.

I consider myself half Burmese and half Singaporean because I lived 10 years in Burma and 10 years in Singapore. (I'm now in America and I'm 23. I left Singapore when I was 20.) My heart fiercely burns in patriotism for Burma and Singapore.

Obviously, this is a topic close to my heart. I cry thinking about it.

After reading some of your replies, I feel quite dejected.

Like I always knew, some people really don't care and talk about us like we're nobodies - trash. It feels... really terrible. What I'm pleading with you all is this... please..... don't. It really hurts. It hurts more than the military gunning us down.

Destroy Burma? What about the innocent people who are the majority? Everyone, suprisingly inhumane as it is, this is the mindset millions of people have of Burma. Burma's such a hassle; It's such a nuisance. Just wanna wipe it away and get it done and over with. I mean, you've got enough problems in your daily life already. Don't need more. Everyone hates to hear our cries. Like flies, they just wanna smash us with their palms.

I really need the help of everyone. We really need the help of everyone. Because most people are just standing and watching, pretending not to know it or comforting themselves that it's okay to ignore it because it's not their country and we're strangers. But the truth is we are all connected to one another.

I mean, it's been too long. It's time to set us free. Please God, set us free. I'm sooooo tired of being in a prison. Mental or physical.

I personally don't ask for anything except to acknowledge us. Acknowledge this problem. Talk to a friend. Tell your family. Think about it to yourself. For one second a day. Or a nano second. Anything. By that, even if I die, at least I know that I was once in your heart and you thought about me. Just don't close one eye and pretend living like nothing's happening to us.

Thank you all for reading. That helps too.

I believe there are good souls among the soldiers who are ordered to carry out senseless act.

You patriotic for Singapore for what? Laughing

Meat Pao SG

If you read what he says....he was squatting down and was shot....I dont understand what you are saying, as if the soldiers intentionally aim at the legs to avoid serious injury. I dont think so. He was squatting down so thats why the rubber bullets hit his legs. I dont think the soldiers are concerned to aim at the legs. If he was in another posture, who knows, it can hit his butt, or chest, or whatever.

Here is what he wrote:

...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...
