Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi 'detained by military', NLD party says

Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of Myanmar's governing National League for Democracy (NLD) party, has been arrested, a party spokesman said.
It comes amid tensions between the civilian government and the military, stoking fears of a coup.
At elections in November, the NLD won enough seats to form a government, but the army says the vote was fraudulent.
Myanmar, also known as Burma, was ruled by the military until 2011. Ms Suu Kyi spent many years under house arrest.
The newly elected lower house of parliament was due to convene for the first time on Monday but the military was calling for a postponement.
The BBC's South East Asia correspondent, Jonathan Head, says there are soldiers on the streets of the capital, Naypyitaw, and the main city, Yangon.
NLD spokesman Myo Nyunt told the Reuters news agency by phone that Ms Suu Kyi, President Win Myint and other leaders had been "taken" in the early hours of the morning.
"I want to tell our people not to respond rashly and I want them to act according to the law," he said, adding he also expected to be detained.
Soldiers also visited the homes of chief ministers in several regions and took them away, family members said.
On Saturday Myanmar's armed forces promised to abide by the constitution as concerns grew that they were preparing to stage a coup.
What happened in the election?
The NLD won 83% of available seats in the 8 November election in what many saw as a referendum on Ms Suu Kyi's civilian government.
It was just the second election since the end of military rule in 2011.
But the military has disputed the result, filing complaints at the Supreme Court against the president and the chair of the electoral commission.
Fears of a coup rose after the military recently threatened to "take action" over alleged fraud. The election commission has rejected the allegations.
Who is Aung San Suu Kyi?
Aung San Suu Kyi is the daughter of Myanmar's independence hero, General Aung San. He was assassinated when she was only two years old, just before Myanmar gained independence from British colonial rule in 1948.
Ms Suu Kyi was once seen as a beacon for human rights - a principled activist who gave up her freedom to challenge the ruthless army generals who ruled Myanmar for decades.
In 1991, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while still under house arrest, and hailed as "an outstanding example of the power of the powerless".
media captionHow did this peace icon end up at a genocide trial?
Ms Suu Kyi spent nearly 15 years in detention between 1989 and 2010.
In November 2015 she led the National League for Democracy (NLD) to a landslide victory in Myanmar's first openly contested election for 25 years.
The Myanmar constitution forbids her from becoming president because she has children who are foreign nationals. But Ms Suu Kyi, now 75, is widely seen as de facto leader.
But since becoming Myanmar's state counsellor, her leadership has been defined by the treatment of the country's mostly Muslim Rohingya minority.
In 2017 hundreds of thousands of Rohingya fled to neighbouring Bangladesh due to an army crackdown sparked by deadly attacks on police stations in Rakhine state.
Ms Suu Kyi's former international supporters accused her of doing nothing to stop rape, murder and possible genocide by refusing to condemn the still powerful military or acknowledge accounts of atrocities.
A few initially argued that she was a pragmatic politician, trying to govern a multi-ethnic country with a complex history.
But her personal defence of the army's actions at the International Court of Justice hearing in 2019 in the Hague was seen as a new turning point that obliterated what little remained of her international reputation.
At home, however, "the Lady", as Ms Suu Kyi is known, remains wildly popular among the Buddhist majority who hold little sympathy for the Rohingya.

Demographically,
Burma (Myanmar) is closely related (in-between) to Bangladesh and Thailand
Bangladesh IQ = 82
Thailand IQ = 91
Thus, Myanmar IQ = around 85~87
So we can predict where the country is heading ....

The people in this part of the world have a fetish for dictators and military strongmen. The 'mandate of heaven' bullshit.
They need to be colonized by ang mohs for a few centuries before they relinquish their barbaric ways.

Melaka Teenage Girl Pees on Laundromat Floor Even When Toilets are Nearby

Doing laundry can be a way for some people to find zen. Watching their clothes tumble inside the machine, and the smell of fresh laundry can really calm oneself. However, in Malaysia, our laundromats are often the grounds for ridiculous incidents to take place, which can increase a person’s anxiety level instead.
In the latest and weirdest of Malaysian laundromats, a teenage girl was recorded on CCTV peeing on the floor on one in Bukit Baru, Melaka, last Tuesday (6 August).
On top of the heinous act, the girl then stole some clean clothes left by a customer to cover her secretion. Owner, Mat Nasir, told Harian Metro that he sensed something was not right after looking through the recording from his mobile phone. He explained,
He went on to say that the girl was going back and forth, non-stop for 5 minutes before the act happened. Even if she couldn’t hold her pee anymore, the last place you want to do your business is on the floor of the laundry mart. There are two restaurants right beside the laundromat with toilets she could use.

He also found out that the girl has been hanging there for three days in a row after the incident occurred. On the third day, Mat Nasir confronted the girl, and she immediately went off.
Watch the video here:
Sometimes, we can’t tell the thought process that goes through each individual’s mind. However, when nature calls, try your best to find someplace suitable to your business. One missed step and urine trouble.

While the United States and Australia called on Myanmar military leaders to release civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and others detained in overnight raids in the country, Singapore only expressed grave concern and did not call for the civilian leaders' release.

Singapore expresses 'grave concern' over Myanmar's political crisis

SINGAPORE - Singapore on Monday (Feb 1) expressed "grave concern" over the political crisis in Myanmar.
"We are monitoring the situation closely and hope all parties involved will exercise restraint, maintain dialogue, and work towards a positive and peaceful outcome," said a spokesman for Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA).
"Myanmar is a close friend of Singapore and key member of Asean (Association of South-east Asian Nations). We hope that the situation will return to normal as soon as possible."
A state of emergency has been declared in Myanmar after the country's military detained civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other top leaders on Monday.
A statement signed by the new acting president Myint Swe, a former general who had been vice-president, said the move was needed to preserve the "stability" of the state, accusing the country's election commission of failing to address "huge irregularities" in the November election.
In view of the fluid situation, MFA said Singaporeans in Myanmar are advised to remain vigilant, monitor local news closely and follow the advice of the local authorities. Singaporeans in Myanmar are also strongly encouraged to e-register with MFA.
Those who are in need of consular assistance while in Myanmar should contact the Singapore Embassy in Yangon on +95-1-9-559-001 or 09-250-863-840.
They can also contact the MFA Duty office (24-hours) on +65-6379 8800/8855
