The Best Satire


. . . Some days ago, Nikkei Asian Review revealed a brilliant satirical work by expressing a hilarious story of the chief minister of Myanmar’s former capital who is now very popular for his impromptu implementations of ad hoc policies and victimizing the people without taking into consideration anything about negative consequences.
.
. . . Motokazu Matsui, the composer of the article, would commit harakiri if he practically observes what is really happening in the streets of Yangon, and how Yangoners are suffering from being victims of the laboratory experiments of the chief. The staff writer of the Nikkie seems willing to be a lobbyist for a potential good-image of the Yangon chief by putting hyperbolic expressions in his article. In one place, he exaggeratedly praised the recent action of the government head for transforming the public transportation system. Neglecting the fact that most of the former vehicles were merely change their appearance by removing old labels and putting on new insignia, the writer expressed as “eliminating all aged models”. Thanks God for not writing about a misinformation that the Yangon government have been implementing part of the master plan designed by JICA as the authorities have once propagated.
.
. . . Fortunately, I absolutely agree to the thesis statement of the article which simply reads “ . . . as he builds a reputation for tackling challenges facing the Southeast Asian country’s largest city”. Yes. That is right. In the analysts’ view, he is building an amateurish reputation of chief of a regional government holding a license to play a cat-and-mouse game with the people of Yangon from every walk of life.
