    A Rare Learning Disability Revealed and Understood

    A Rare Learning Disability Revealed and Understood

    My guest is a learning-disabled adult, a husband, a father, and a professional statistician. He has functioned for more than 50 years with his disability, and his mission is to help other learning-disabled people learn from his personal experience.

    Professionally, he is a Statistician. His business collaborates with other individuals and businesses on the statistics that support their work. He also speaks and writes about being learning disabled, particularly about having nonverbal learning disorders (NLD). Additionally, he offers himself to give educational presentations or webinars about NLD.

    Although there are many experts on various aspects of learning disabilities, there are few people who have LD and are willing and able to share this information in ways that can help people with LD and their teachers, parents, and friends.

    U Win Htein born 1941 - a current and former prisoner of conscience - being an extract from pages 187 to 193 of his autobiography dealing with Martyrs' Day and is read by his youngest child, his daughter Chit Suu.

    U Win Htein born 1941 - a current and former prisoner of conscience - being an extract from pages 187 to 193 of his autobiography dealing with Martyrs' Day and is read by his youngest child, his daughter Chit Suu.

    U Win Htein is an elder politician of the National League for Democracy, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's right hand man, a former parliamentarian, army captain and businessman.

    U Win Htein has spent 20 years of his life in prison for his belief in democracy.

    He has written his autobiography entitled "Win Htein's story for posterity: Burma's odyssey from tyranny to quasi-democracy" which can be purchased as a ebook from many online booksellers such as https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/win-hteins-story-for-posterity-win-htein/1140822639.

    It is extremely hard to believe that at the age of 79 for speaking out against the coup of 1 February, 2021 U Win Htein was sentenced in late October 2021 for sedition and received a 20 year prison sentence.  He is currently serving this sentence at a jail in Mandalay.

    This Episode deals with Martyrs' Day which occurred 75 years ago today on 19 July 1947 when assassins entered a room in the Secretariat where the Governor's Executive Council was meeting and shot dead 9 prominent men, including U Aung San and a number of ethnic leaders, who would all have played a prominent role in an independent Burma.  The modern history of Burma might well have been a very different if these assassinations had not taken place.   19 July has been called "Martyrs' Day" ever since.

    Padoh Saw David Tharckabaw has been an active member of the Karen National Union (KNU) since joining the organisation full time as a young teenager in 1949; only two years after the KNU was established in 1947.   

    David has spent the rest of his long life supporting the key aims of the KNU which include the establishment of a Karen State with the right to self determination and the setting up of a genuine Federal Union in Myanmar with each State having equal rights.

    David rose through the ranks from a raw recruit to being an officer in the KNU armed resistance before moving to the political headquarters where he was firstly assistant to the General Secretary and then, as his final role from which he retired at the age of 79, Vice President from 2010 to 2014.    

    David is now 87 living in Mae Sot in Thailand but continues to be a passionate supporter of the Karen.  In this interview David provides a Karen perspective of the history of the relationship between the Bamar and Karen peoples and how and why mistrust developed between many Karen and the  Tatmadaw (military).

    Myanmar Six Months On: A Failed State?

    Myanmar Six Months On: A Failed State?

    The most shocking political development in Asia so far this year is arguably the seizure of power by the military in Myanmar, and the arrest of the country’s former de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The military’s crackdown on protests and other resistance against the coup has so far resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of arrests.

    In this episode we discuss the impact of the coup on the South East Asian nation, which is also often known as Burma, and how the current situation may develop in the months ahead.

    Joining us to do so we are pleased to welcome back to the podcast Thant Myint-U, one of the best known historians of the country and the author most recently of ‘The Hidden History of Burma’.

    As ever - you can find out more on our website, www.asiamatterspod.com

    Is This the End for Democracy in Myanmar?

    Is This the End for Democracy in Myanmar?

    The coup in Myanmar on February 1 took the world by surprise as the military arrested civilian officials, including Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi, whose party won a landslide victory in parliamentary elections in November 2020. Many in the international community have condemned the coup, and thousands of protestors have taken to the streets this week.

    Sana Jaffrey, a nonresident scholar in Carnegie’s Asia Program, joins Laura to talk about how Myanmar got to this point and how the region and the West are responding.

    A Receding Wave of Optimism in Myanmar

    A Receding Wave of Optimism in Myanmar

    On this “Special International Edition” of Indonesia In-depth - A wave of optimism flowed over Myanmar in 2010 when the military leadership began the slow process of opening up the country and implementing both economic and democratic reforms. At the same time, the government began new efforts to establish peace with more than a dozen armed ethnic minority groups, which has been one of the world’s longest civil wars. This was followed by historic general elections in 2015 and a new government. International leaders lifted sanctions on the country and competed with each other to meet the defacto leader and face of the democratic movement, Aung San Suu Kyi. 

    Now, peace negotiations have stalled, new concerns that the economy may not live up to its full potential and reports of genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Muslim Rohingya have gone unanswered. Suu Kyi has dramatically fallen from grace. What are the major obstacles for the peace negotiations? What might the upcoming election results in 2020 look like? What’s the latest situation with the Rohingya crisis? We discuss these issues and much more with the former Myanmar deputy minister of information and presidential spokesperson, Colonel (ret.) U Ye Htut.
