\u201cWe are Burmese. Now we become more aware of the importance of the Union day than before.

Yesterday, the admirers and prople of Burma in Singapore gathered and were able to successfully commemorate the Union day of Burma and the 96<\/span>th<\/span> birthday of Bogyoke Aung San, the founding-father of Burma\u2019s independence and the father of present NLD leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. It is reported that the organizers had to negotiate repeatedly and faced many obstacles to obtain the permission for the ceremony site in which, to hold the event, hence they could not make it widely known to Burmese in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n

A friend of Moemaka told that this is the first ceremony ever organized in Singapore regarding Burma history. The desired banner for the event \u201cBirthday of Bogyoke Aung San\u201d was not allowed by Singapore authority. So, we had to use the co-banner read \u201cThe Union Day and Bogyoke\u2019s Birthday.\u201d The shows of national costumes and music concert of ethnic nationalities brought the celebration alive.<\/span><\/p>\n

As far as Moemaka could inquire, Singapore government granted the permission for the celebration only at the last minute. \u201cMoeMaKa world-wide readers did not, in advance, learn of the event as being Saturday in Singapore when the invitation was posted in Ywa-Saw-Gyi section of its blog\u201d, said informants from Singapore. It is also seen that few people could manage to attend to the commemoration because the organizers had to urge and invite as much as they could reach in a very short time.<\/span><\/p>\n
