his column has frequently spoken of the drama of
the people of Myanmar. It has many times descri-
bed how, in the wake of the clashes in 2012,
Rohingya Muslims were exposed to genocide,
abandoned on the high seas while trying to escape

the country in rickety boats, had their Myanmar citizenship taken
away and were deprived of their human rights.
Those aware of the drama of the Rohingya Muslims will realize

what the general election in Myanmar last week will mean to these
people.

Myanmar has recently emerged from a junta regime lasting some
50 years. Although elections in 2010 in theory put an end to the mili-
tary regime in question, the presence of a junta that backed the ruling
party could still always be felt.

Last week's elections, however, resulted in a major success for
the National League for Democracy (NLD), under opposition leader
Aung San Suu Kyi. However, that success does not mean that the
country is now fully democratic.

While the people choose 75 per cent of the deputies who will now
enter Parliament, the remaining 25 per cent are appointed by the mili-
tary. It, therefore, appears impossible for the leading party in Parlia-
ment to be able to get laws through Parliament or introduce reforms.
It can be seen that every step toward renewal will be vetoed by the

military.
