The U Paing Company Limited
The following was written by Ma Wint War and translated to English by A.S.May. The story is made possible from the team behind Breaking Brainwashed.
When someone hears the word “Tatmadaw”, he will see U Paing Company Limited, which all the people in Myanmar have already known as the well-bred son of the military.
When you interview U Paing Co Ltd., they will reply assertively and stridently that their intentions are superior than others. They describe it as a special privilege for soldiers, but in fact, it is not. They exaggerate it as the only lifeblood for making money for our country, but absolutely this is false.
U Paing Co Ltd twists the public, doing one fraud after another. Nevertheless, U Paing Co Ltd is growing gradually whereas our country’s economy is decreasing! In addition, the soldiers are becoming extraordinarily deficient in all aspects under the control of U Paing, especially ones at the low level in the military. Those who are not in favor with commanding officers are the proof of the fraud that U Paing Co Ltd commits, whatever they may say. The most wicked thing they do is using the soldiers’ grants and entitlements together with the budget of our country. Our country suffers a great loss in income due to U Paing’s continual tax evasion and avoidance. Moreover, soldiers can’t receive their income monthly or yearly, but only at random times. Furthermore, they propagate shamelessly U Paing as the benefactor for the public although they exploit the soldiers’ and our country’s income.
Using others’ cash and then establishing a company, U Paing never shows or declares their company’s revenue and profit. And then, the superiors, profiteers really, take more ill-gotten gain. Though they said they used the company’s profit for the military, they never show the cash flow and how much percentage they apply for the military. The more they commit these financial crimes, the more they want and wish to be seen as benefactors! If the military wins this present crisis of Myanmar, U Paing will continue excessively growing like Mg Paing ,Ko Paing, U Paing and then Grandpa Paing, and finally manipulate every sector in Myanmar. It will be terrible for all of us.
Thus, it’s certain that they continue giving big trouble to the public and soldiers at low level. Consequently, nearly all people in Myanmar resist the cruel attacks of the military and revolt against the dictatorship dutifully. So, we want to encourage all of the soldiers try to escape from the military, which is the cause of misery, and to participate in Civil Disobedience Moment.
Our spring revolution against the military dictatorship must succeed.
Thank for Everyone.
