By KYAW HSU MON / THE IRRAWADDY
RANGOON — British investment in Burma is on the rise, but problems on the ground in the Southeast Asian frontier market have some investors reluctant to commit, UK Ambassador to Burma Andrew Patrick said at a press conference on Thursday.
Patrick, who took up his post in September, said that even though Burma’s transition to democracy remained incomplete, UK business interest in Burma was growing.
“Many British businessmen are coming here … we’d like to see more,” he said at the Rangoon-based British Embassy.
“We’re encouraging investment here,” Patrick continued. “We think that investment is important to create jobs—Western countries bring the technology, skills. They will help improve businesses to an international standard.”Burma: Lest we don’t see, a genocide is in the making

It is time for Burma’s pro-democracy movement to speak out against the targeted attacks on the Muslims in that country, says Bonojit Hussain.
“We have to ask ourselves whether we may have over-romanticised its battles against the junta as a broader quest to bring pure, universal human rights to Burma, when in fact we had little evidence of a wholesale commitment to the principle of tolerance.” – Francis Wade (Thailand based Journalist and a keen observer of developments in Burma) in the context of Burmese pro-democracy movement within and outside of Burma.
Since the summer of 2012 Burma has seen pogroms, massacres, riots of unprecedented scale against religious minorities, the latest being on the 30th April. A few hundreds have been killed and a few hundred thousands have been rendered homeless.
Analysis: Rakhine Extremist Gang ALD & RNDP Disguised and Merged as ANP
Burma Times ( By Ibrahim Shah)
Evidently, through the independent media worldwide, the crime against humanity or Rohingya genocide in western part of Burma is exposed.
while the Rohingya-Genocide-Bell is ringing loudly that the Rakhine extremists collaborating with government brutally attacked the vulnerable Muslims who are long oppressed since 1978 and displaced and confined in concentration camps and banned access to international aid agencies, on the double, the mentor of the extremists and their leading parties are disguised and merged as new political party as like as the skinning of snakes on October 7 and 8 to mask their past unpardonable crimes against humanity or Rohingya genocide.
