Re: Wyne Su Khine Thein’s Visit and Meeting with some members of Burmese
Community in Las Vegas
1. As most of you might aware that there is a controversy about whether to welcome
Wyne Su Khine Thein and other singers from Burma. Although it is a personal choice for
individual, there is some facts need to aware for those who want to welcome and attend
on meeting with them. Wyne Su Khine Thein participates in “Lotus at Dawn” or “Arr
yone Oo Hmar Phwe Thee Kyar”, a film is intended to propagate the regime’s policy and
tarnish Burma’s ongoing democracy movement. While the military-controlled election in
Burma is approaching, the regime, again, is doing everything in their capacity to deceive
the Burmese people and international community.
3. For more clarification, we will do with questions and answers style debate.
Q. Wyne Su is just an actress and she has to do whatever regime asked her to do.
Shouldn’t we understand?
A. If you are willing to reject and stand for the people, it must have a way to
choose not to participate in such films. There are still some celebrities who do not
cooperate and stand for people such as Ko Kyaw Thu, Ko Zarganar, U Tun Wai
and the IC band led by singer Lay Phyu, Myo Gyi and others.
(Rationale: Soldiers who killed the monks in Saffron revolution could also excuse
that they just follow their orders.)
A. Nowadays, Celebrities are role models for younger generations and they live
under the watchful eyes of those youngsters. By protesting her with media, those
youngsters and other celebrities inside Burma receive the clear message of the
protests for cooperating with the world most brutal regime. People know more
about celebrities than politicians. It is also a serious warning for those potential
celebrities and collaborators.
A. Again, it is your choice. If you don’t stand for justice right now, when someone
did unjust thing to you, you would also have no help.
Therefore, we strongly urge our members of Burmese community in Las Vegas not to
attend such meeting and spend our dollars for those regime’s collaborators and should
just welcome only people celebrities’ such as “Thee lay Thee”. Thank you
