I was glancing at the situation of Burmese journal market here in our country. There were a lot of journals in number but most popular were journals on sports and football.

It was first used by our “Burmese politician” and it meant the “works” focusing on “Getting rid of Burmese regime” and “Getting democracy in Burma”. Theses were “Day One” tasks.
