UEC
rejects call
for more
time on
voter lists
KYAW PHONE KYAW
k.phonekyaw@gmail.com
THE Union Election Commission has rejected calls from the
National League for Democracy
to extend the period for voters to
check electoral rolls are accurate,
insisting the two-week window
is long enough.
The rolls went on display in
ward offices across 10 states and
regions on June 22, and voters
will have until July 5 to ensure
their accuracy. Errors can be
corrected by submitting the relevant form to the ward office.
But U Tun Tun Hein, who
leads the NLDs committee for
analysing voter lists, said yesterday that more time was needed.
We cant fix all the mistakes
within 14 days because there are
just so many, he said. It is timeconsuming work. We are asking
questions to get the real data by
going door to door.
On June 3, the NLD released
an open letter to the UEC saying
voter lists that went on display in
the second phase of the electoral
roll project featured error rates
ranging from 30 to 80 percent.
Mistakes across the 22 townships included about 600 people
from two wards being left off in
Kyauktan township, while 70 people in Hlaing Tharyar township
were listed at the same address.
But UEC member U Win Kyi
said 14 days was enough.
In the 2010 and 2012 elections we gave only seven days.
Now, we are giving more and it is
only the provisional list. We will
announce the final list after the
election date is announced and
voters will have another chance
to correct it, he said yesterday.
Its up to the people to correct the voter lists themselves.
If we announced that instead of
putting voter lists on display we
were going to give out mobile
phones, you can be sure there
would be plenty of people at the
ward offices jostling each other.
While lack of time is an issue,
Ma Shwe Yee Win, founder of the
voter education NGO Peace and
Justice Myanmar, said the biggest
problem was lack of interest from
the public.
U Win Kyi said voter lists for
military and police personnel
and their families would only be
released after the election date
is announced in August. He declined to say why they had been
excluded from the current voter
list display program.

politics. That may

IN BRIEF
Higer, a Chinese brand of bus introduced to Myanmar in 2011, is continuing its efforts to wrest business
from other countries brands.
We can say to entrepreneurs, we
started introduced brand new Higer
buses to Myanmar, accompanied by
spare parts, said Ko Win Myo Chit,
chief executive director of Greater
Man International Trading. Most
owners assume and believe that
Japanese buses are the most suitable for public transportation. They
are not impressed by other brands.
But we broke this rule and penetrate
the market with these brand-new
Higer buses.
Ko Win Myo Chit said bus lines
such as JJ Express have been using
the two-plus-one seat Higer buses
since 2012.
Its latest model is the KLQ 6148
K, another two-plus-one seat luxury
bus. It can seat 33 passengers, retailing for US$210,000.

Airline
safety a
worry for
AirAsia X
THAI AirAsia X (TAAX) has decided to
terminate its Sapporo flights from August 1 amid mounting concerns about
Thailands aviation safety.
The countrys first long-haul lowcost carrier opted not to seek any more
extensions to a reprieve granted by Japan that will end on July 31.
TAAX director and founder Tassapon Bijleveld blamed the backlash
from the significant safety concerns
raised by the UNs International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) for
dampening the business outlook for the
service, causing load factors to plunge.
There was too much uncertainty
and anxiety over how much longer
we could continue with the Sapporo
flights. Its better to retreat, said Mr
Tassapon. TAAXs decision to suspend
the daily scheduled Bangkok-Sapporo
service came a week after the UN agency in charge of global aviation standards publicly flashed a red flag against
Thailand.
The red flag appeared on the ICAOs
website, thus putting the country in the
spotlight over its shortcomings.
Thailand became the 13th country,
along with the likes of Botswana, Haiti
and Angola, to be red-flagged by the
ICAO among the list of 187 whose aviation standards have been audited by
the UN body.
The red flag came after a 90-day
grace period during which Thailand
failed to correct flaws detected during a January audit. Mr Tassapon said
TAAXs load factor on the BangkokSapporo flight had slipped to just over
60 percent, relatively low by budget airline standards, as travellers confidence
over the fate of the TAAX service was
eroded by circumstances surrounding
the ICAO troubles. Bangkok Post

markets up
on Greek
hopes
TOKYOS benchmark Nikkei index
climbed 1.87 percent yesterday to close
at a new 15-year high on hopes for a
Greek bailout deal.
The Nikkei 225 index soared 381.23
points to end at 20,809.42, after busting through 20,700 for the first time
since April 2000.
The Topix index of all first-section
issues was up 1.69pc, or 27.79 points,
at 1676.40.
The gains followed rallies in European and US markets.
Advances in the Greek situation are
behind the flow of funds into US and
European stocks, Toshihiko Matsuno,
chief strategist at SMBC Friend Securities, told Bloomberg News. Its difficult
to judge without knowing the proposals
contents in detail, but the market appears to be seeing it as a step forward.
Greece on June 21 offered an 11thhour proposal of economic reforms in
exchange for the last payment of 7.2
billion euros (US$8.1 billion) from its
current aid program.
Eurozone leaders said they hoped to
finally seal a deal this week to save Athens from default and a possible messy
exit from the euro, but Germany warned
that more hard work was needed.
The euro declined to $1.1250 and
139.17 yen from $1.1340 and 139.91 yen
in New York late on June 22.
The dollar rose to 123.67 yen from
123.38 yen in US trade.
In Tokyo share trading Toshiba
rose 0.93pc to 429.8 yen despite a report in the Nikkei business daily that
improper accounting had been found
in nearly all of the companys key businesses. AFP

Chinese manufacturing
continues to contract
CHINAS manufacturing activity contracted for the fourth straight month
in June as demand remained sluggish
in the worlds second-largest economy,
a survey by British banking giant
HSBC showed yesterday.
The banks preliminary Purchasing
Managers Index (PMI) came in at 49.6
in June, the highest in three months
but still below the break-even point of
50, HSBC said in a statement.
The index, which is compiled by
information services provider Markit
and tracks activity in factories and
workshops, is seen as a key barometer
of the countrys economic health.
However, while it marked a fourth
straight contraction, the figure was an
improvement on Mays final reading of
49.2 and also beat a forecast of 49.4 in
a survey of economists by Bloomberg
News.
The figures are the latest to show
the economic powerhouse continues
to slow despite three interest rate cuts
since November as well as other measures to boost bank lending and the
housing market.
While total new business and purchasing activity increased slightly
this month companies continued to
slash staff, with the latest reduction
the sharpest in more than six years,

UN denounces
unspeakable suffering
of Syrian civilians
UN investigators yesterday denounced
the seemingly deliberate targeting of
civilians in Syrias war, causing unspeakable suffering as barrel bombs
relentlessly drop from the sky and besieged people starve to death.
Civilians are the main victims of
an ever-accelerating cycle of violence,
Paulo Pinheiro, who heads a commission of inquiry on the human rights
situation in Syria, told the UN Human
Rights Council.
The warring parties failure to
protect civilians, as well as their seemingly deliberate decision to put civilians in harms way, has led to unspeakable suffering, he said.
Mr Pinheiro voiced particular
outrage over the devastating effect
of sieges by government forces, antiregime armed groups and the Islamic
State jihadists.
In a document published yesterday, covering abuses committed in
Syria from March 15 to June 15, the
commission warned the sieges were
leading to extreme deprivations for
months, sometimes years.
The government sieges on the

Which
raises the
question:
Can anything
good come of
selling hitlers
paintings?
Few in
Germany want to be seen making a profit from the Nazi dictators
work, The Guardian reported. The Bavarian state archive,
which owns some of hitlers work, has a policy of not paying for
the works, but accepts them as donations in order to take them
out of circulation.
British paper The Independent didnt hide its disgust at this
weekends auction, calling hitlers version of the famous Bavarian
castle Neuschwanstein an insipid ... chocolate box scene.
There is a worryingly buoyant trade in paintings by hitler
despite them being deemed to have little artistic merit, the
newspaper wrote.
hitler is believed to have left behind as many as 700 of
his artworks when he ingested cyanide and shot himself in a
Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945. There are also many forgeries,
according to Schwarz, the art historian. Since hitler had no
style of his own as a painter, but generally just copied, it is very
difficult to be sure what is by hitler, she told Die Welt.
Whether hitlers paintings have style or artistic merit, Weidler
apparently had little difficulty selling them this weekend. The
auction house said investors in China, France, Brazil, Germany
and the United Arab emirates all bid for the pieces.
Weidler added that complaints should be addressed to the
sellers, not the auction house, and that a portion of its 20pc
commission will go toward charity, according to DPA.
But if recent history is any guide, giving away funds tied
to the fuhrer wont be easy. Last year, Weidler announced
that it intended to give a share of its commission for selling
hitlers Munich town hall painting to a local preservation
society, Altstadtfreunde Nrnberg (Friends of the old city of
Nuremberg).
The chairman of the society, Karl-heinz enderle, immediately
expressed surprise at the presumption that he would accept the
donation, The Guardian reported, and told local media that he
had no intention of taking it. The Washington Post
