All repressive laws must be revoked, and laws introduced to protect the rights of the people.
From Aung San Suu Kyi
If you can make people understand why freedom is so important through the arts, that would be a big help.
I could listen to the radio and I had access to books from time to time. Not all the time.
Every government must consider the security of the country. That is just part of the responsibilities of any government. But true security can only come out of unity within a country where there are so many ethnic nationalities.
I only used a cell phone for the first time after I was released. I had difficulty coping with it because it seemed so small and insubstantial.
No, I was never afraid.
I think when the people in Burma stop thinking about whether or not they're free, it'll mean that they're free.
My opinion is the greatest reward that any government could get is the approval of the people. If the people are happy and the people are at peace and the government has done something for them, that's the greatest reward I think any government could hope for.
In terms of the history of a far reaching movement, 20 years is not that long.
I felt that it was my duty not to senselessly waste my time. And since I didn't want to waste my time, I tried to accomplish as much as possible.
