ရိုဟင္ဂ်ာ အေၾကာင္း ေျပာၾကားခ်က္
“We have to be very clear about what the laws of citizenship are and who are entitled to them,” Suu Kyi told reporters in Geneva today when asked if Rohingyas should be granted Myanmar citizenship. “All those who are entitled to citizenship should be treated as full citizens deserving all the rights that must be given to them.”

Suu
Kyi urged foreign governments not to allow their companies to form joint
ventures with the state-owned oil and gas company until it improved its
business practices.
“The Myanma Oil and Gas Enterprise (MOGE)... with which all
foreign participation in the energy sector takes place through joint venture
arrangements, lacks both transparency and accountability at present.”
“The (Myanmar)
government needs to apply internationally recognised standards such as the IMF
code of good practices on fiscal transparency. Other countries could help by
not allowing their own companies to partner MOGE unless it was signed up to
such codes,”
Myanmar
has granted Chinese state-owned oil firm CNPC oil and gas pipeline concessions
that will enable Middle East energy supplies to a take short-cut on the route
to China, cutting out the
extra expense and journey time of using the Malacca Strait.
“Quite frankly none of us know what’s in those contracts,
this is what I mean by lack of transparency in the country,” Suu Kyi said.
“Lack of transparency leads to all kinds of suspicions that shore up trouble
for the future.”
“I have to say that I find that Total is a responsible
investor in the country, even though there was a time when we did not think
they should be encouraging the military regime by investing in Burma.
“They were sensitive to human rights and environmental
issues and now that we’ve come to a point in time when we would like investors
who are sensitive to such issues, I am certainly not going to persuade Chevron or
Total to pull out.”
“The reason why we have to be careful about the extractive
industries is because what you extract doesn’t go back in, and secondly because
they don’t provide as many jobs as some other industries, so we want to
approach this with caution.
“Burma
is a land with a lot of energy resources. We do not want to dissipate it. I would
like to see a sound effective energy policy in Burma and this should be related to
the kind of extractive investments that we invite in.”
