Open Letter to H.E. Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of Royal Thai Government

On behalf of World Arakanese Organization, WAO-USA President Daw Hla Than Wai has sent the letters to Prime Minister of Thai Royal Government and Ambassador of Royal Thai Embassy in U.S.A regarding Koh Tao Murder Case. WAO also send the letters to the ambassador of United Kingdom to Thailand and U.S. ambassador to Thailand. And the copies of letter have been sent through e-mail to the President U Thein Sein of the Republic of the Union of Myanm, Prime Minister Divid Cameron of United Kingdom and U.S. President Barack Obama.

WAO expresses their heartfelt condolence on the murder of two British citizens— Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, in Koh Tao Island in Thailand. WAO has understood that the Thai authorities need to solve the murder case immediately-- to bring justice and to restore the safety of Thai citizens and visitors in Thailand.

Regarding the Koh Tao murder case, WAO has learnt there are two migrant workers from Myanmar, whose name are Mr. Zaw Lin and Mr. Win Zaw Htun, both 21, were arrested by Royal Thai Police in Koh Tao Island. They have been accused publicly and forcibly and detained under Royal Thai police custody.

After the review of news and information from reliable sources, WAO has come to believe the accused suspects Mr. Zaw Lin and Mr. Win Zaw Htun, native of Kyauk Pru Township of Arakan State, were tortured and forced to confess during the investigation process. This clearly indicates mishandling and bias in the murder investigation that they were arrested without a clear probable cause. 

Therefore, WAO strongly urge the Royal Thai Government to conduct an independent investigation on the handling of Koh Tao murder case by the Royal Thai Police. WAO also demand the unconditional release of Mr. Zaw Lin and Mr. Win Zaw Htun from the police custody unless an independent investigation proves the absolute correctness in handling of Khao Tao murder case.

Yangon’s Hero, Wielding Power of Stop and Go

By THOMAS FULLER NOV. 21, 2014 Sgt. Khin Myint Maung directing cars in Myanmar’s largest city, where his accolades are also an indictment of others’ corruption. Credit Tomas Munita for The New York Times YANGON, Myanmar — For 12 hours nearly every day, Sgt. Khin Myint Maung stands in one of the most chaotic intersections in this chronically gridlocked city, untangling traffic snarls with patience and unflagging good humor. It is not the most likely résumé for a recipient of a hero of the year award from a leading daily newspaper, or designation as a “role model” officer by the Yangon police force or a “real-life hero” by a German foundation. But the 26-year-old from the provinces, only recently promoted to sergeant, has earned all those awards, rising to fame purely by word of mouth. It is nearly impossible to find a taxi driver in Yangon who does n...

Thai penis whitening trend raises eyebrows

Image copyright LELUXHOSPITAL Image caption Authorities warn the procedure could be quite painful A supposed trend of penis whitening has captivated Thailand in recent days and left it asking if the country's beauty industry is taking things too far. Skin whitening is nothing new in many Asian countries, where darker skin is often associated with outdoor labour, therefore, being poorer. But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do...
