At the interesting coronation ceremony of the presidency of the Union of Myanmar, in accord the constitution of 2008, section (65), you President Thein Sein sincerely and solemnly promised and declared that you would be loyal to the Republic of Union of Myanmar and the citizens and hold always in esteem non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of national and perpetuation of the sovereignty. You also promised that you would carry out the responsibilities uprightly to the best of your ability and strive for further flourishing the eternal principal of justice, liberty and equality. You have also pledged you would dedicate yourselves to the service of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. 

In accord to the president’s very dishonest pledge which he might know alone, it is nothing to say that he had been someway honest in the sight of U Than Shwe and deserved to be chosen one among others by Than Shwe. U Thein Sein was rightly chosen, by Than Shwe, as a president of the newly so called quasi-democratic state to run the state and be loyal to all his (U Than Shwe) directions as long as he is active rather than as per his (U Thein Sein) oath made at the moment. 

Mr. President, after nearly a couple of years of your presidency, though you might have been running the state as per your solemn oath that heard by people of the world, you and your chosen staffers in your president office have been running and comatose the golden state into a deep hole in my consideration --having been schemed the state into the “horrendous interaction” which have systematically being preplanned by your agents one after another, totaling against your president oath. 

As a first step of your solemn oath, you have earned and showed sympathy releasing Daw Aung San Su Kyi from house arrest not a political prisoner but as per the demand of international community hoping investment from the west and pleasing the US— which earning attention from regional and international community as a sympathizer and great man of coordinating ‘frame of mind’ with world community. 

But intentionally to make mess up the country affairs and can upset the harmonious community (Buddhists & Muslims)—and some jailed persons who might have committed state Bureau level crimes -- and once your senior officers in the time of Than Shwe regime-- you have also unconfined those perilous murderers key criminals such as (U Khin Nyunt & his colleagues and others) to receive empathy from the other hand. 

U Khin Nyunt, his colleagues and other state levels criminals, had have once ruled the state discriminatorily and put many innocent democrats and reformers without any reason, can now have very free hands and talented ones to cause snag the ‘President’s administrative mechanism’ after penetrating into the Buddhist monasteries and that of the poisonous preachers like Wirathu and others to collide with Muslims and fanatic Buddhists. 

Since The beginning of the violence which erupted from Sitttwe (Akyab) in June 8, 2012 mainly after having taken excuse by Rakhine leaders particularly RNDP and ALD political party in the case, against Ma Thidar Htwe who was allegedly murdered by three so called Muslims boys, should have been settled down as a very simple case. 

simmering the rape case by Rakhine fanatic and that of the leaders, selectively the Rohingya Muslims blocks from Sittwe were being burnt down-- innocent people were being killed-- unable people to escape were being stabbed to death-- the Rohingyas and Kaman people houses which situated among Rakhine people were being destroyed or pull down—the shops and commercialization of Muslims were jeopardized and later on confiscated—the Muslims, from Aungmingla block of Sittwe which was let off from being torched, have been unmovable from the quarter to other places in purpose of social, medical and livelihood—many people, who were shifted from the burning after losing everything to the west of Sittwe as IDPs , have been hopeless to regaining and relocation to their original places and establishing their normal lives—and yet not having proper plan to reestablish the lives of those local victims by both Rakhine state and Union government at least to go on in their temporary locations with strong and resilient small houses and capable of receiving normal donations by UN, NGOs and local donors for their temporary survival until they reached to their normality. 

The worst is every terrorist whether who wears gently Myanmar cultural dresses as the gentle of the party leaders, the businessmen, lecturers, traders, elderly people or the most revere Monks who control the famous monasteries and youth monks not only from Rakhine state and but proper Burma all become rancorous and merciless against Islam and above “the rule of law of the state”. 

The one sided violence against Rohingya and Kaman people with the combination of police, monks and ruling body of Sittwe-- where Rakhine state administration mechanism was located-- have been the combined forces to assault and let overall social annihilation and demolition by the multi Rakhine attackers against Muslims. 

These flammable assail soon spread out to where there are more or less Muslims along Rakhine state’s thirteen townships --north, central and south—and villages, houses, innocent men and women, elderly people, cattle, firms—all these were torched, killed, looted and Muslims were driven out of their villages. 

And young Rohingyas, from every townships who are believed to be services if violence become greater, were arbitrarily arrested and put in jails as a preemptive action by township authorities and Rakhine state government by the coordinated action of Rakhine people leaders from every township—and all brave Rakhine attackers were being prepared as heroic terrorists by feeding up them tablets --and Rakhine assailants who are widely thought to be amphetamines addicted tablets that is the most poignant by the advice of police station of each township and Rakhine style armed forces who are alleged to be ALP, Arakan Liberation Forces. 

Your excellence’s announcement on 10 June, 2012 to prevail peace and tranquilly and degree issue (144) is, of course, nothing for Rohingya and Kaman people who are in faith Muslims for their lives safety and security but it has been safe haven for night Rakhine assailants who could roam, could round and round and could get done all offenses against Muslims as per their wish with the help of Rakhine police who are kith and kin of assailants—while Muslims should have stay inside their respective houses in accord your (144) order, what a beautiful order you have declared for tranquility of law to prevail. 

Taking this opportunity by Rakhine assailants throughout the state, Muslims have been totally helpless, vulnerable and utterly frustrated just “breathing” in Rakhine state in the hand of ‘law of jungle governmental mechanism’ and in the state of every chaotic activities –which have been all above the law—though no one is above the law by the rule of law which has been used to say by Thura U Shwe Maan since U Khin Nyunt was to be under arrest around the year 2004 and during the recent visit to Australia while meeting Myanmar society.
