It is very sad that Burma has a government of brutes, not human beings.
Highlights:
8) Response from the government is zero (even minus--------), they just
declared four region ( Irrawaddy, Rangoon, Bago, Mon, Yakhine) as diaster
regions for show to the World. Even Ward Peace & Development Council has
no
plan for recovery. They did not concern about peopole & they just leave us
like animal.....All the Swan Arrr Shin, USDA (Kyant Hput) and all other
government-backed local NGOs were disappeared - may be they were died when
the storm hit???

Hi all,
Below is the impact of the cyclone Nargis witneseed by myself.
1) Overview of Rangoon Town Area severely damaged and it can not be
expressed in words -
UTTER DEVASTATION or GOROUND ZERO.
2) According to my colleagues living in Hlaing Thar Yar, Dagon Myo Thit,
Dala, Yuzana Garden City - told me that these areas are tremendously
effected. All are flattened & flooded.
3) Kyauk Myaung, Tamwe Township - 99% of buildings' roofing were totally
damaged, some buildings fallen down & some lean against together.
4) More importantly, no electricity, no water supply and no gasoline & CNG
supply at all the gas pumps.
5) Most of 33KV Supply Towers & all electric posts around the town were
damaged, piping of city supply system damaged, 99% of all the trees were
trimed down from the roots.
6) Prices of all the buiding materials ( Zinc Roof, Roofing Nail & etc..)
getting increased by 300%. Food, Gorceries & Kitchen Utensils - increased
by
400% to 500%. Transportation Cost - 500% ( Bus Fare - e.g. from Kyauk
Myaung
to Hle Dan (before cyclone hit was 300 kyats per round trip & now about
Ks.
1500), Taxi Fare from Kyauk Myaung to Hledan - (before the storm was Ks.
2000 per onw way trip and now is Ks. 8000/-), (Taxi Fare From Highway
Terminal in North Okkalapa to Downtown - Ks. 150,000 per one way trip).
6) Buildings within the University of Rangoon (Main) were seriously
damaged.
7) Overall, Rangoon becomes very dark jungle without trees.
8) Response from the government is zero (even minus--------), they just
declared four region ( Irrawaddy, Rangoon, Bago, Mon, Yakhine) as diaster
regions for show to the World. Even Ward Peace & Development Council has
no
plan for recovery. They did not concern about peopole & they just leave us
like animal.....All the Swan Arrr Shin, USDA (Kyant Hput) and all other
government-backed local NGOs were disappeared - may be they were died when
the storm hit???
9) Everybody here is very frustruated, hopeless & things like waiting for
infectious diseases - diarrhea, dysentry, dangue fever & so on....
10) I will update you more and provide you photos from time to time.
11) If you have queries for your relatives here, do let me know & I will
contact them on your behalf for information.
12) Rest of my knowledge, some lines in Tamwe, Kamayut & Botataung (start
with 292, 502, 511,536, 544) are okay. As for cell phone & CDMA (start
with
50, 51 & 722), some are good & some are not ok. Generally speaking says
30%
okay.
Please pass message to your Myanmar friends in Spore.
