Our government can decry dumb Myanmarese generals, but we cannot be allowed to hold public protests: we are not worthy.
We are also not even as matured as our peacefully protesting neighbours, e.g. in Surabaya, Indonesia.

The people should not be afraid of their government. The government should be afraid of their people.

[…] No offence intended here, but just for the sake of an academic exercise: Is it not interesting that some Christians are threatened by Dan Brown’s writings or a ruling political party is threatened by streams of perceived ‘irresponsible’ history writing? If we move the writing of the national narrative beyond the Hock Lee Bus Riots (Remember the HLBR! The Mr Brown Show, http://www.mrbrownshow.com/2007/10/11/the-mrbrown-show-methinks-thou-protesteth-too-much/) or away from Raffles and his arrival in 1819, is it ‘irresponsible history’?
