Military Myanmar Government had virtually reached the arrogant level of telling its people to eat cake if there isn’t any bread to consume

Quasi Military Myanmar Government had virtually reached the arrogant level of telling its people to eat cake if there isn’t any bread to consume.

“Let them eat cake” is the traditional translation to English of the French phrase “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche“, supposedly spoken by Queen Marie Antoinette, upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was enriched with butter and eggs, as opposed to ordinary bread, the quote supposedly would reflect the princess’s obliviousness to the condition of the people. (Wiki)

Myanmar President Advisor U Ko Ko Hlaing failed to notice the various uses of electricity and wrongly thought that the use of electricity is for light only and advised the people to conserve the electricity and switch off the lights and use candles.

Oppression? Tradition?

France has officially banned the burqa. In other countries in Europe, like the
Netherlands, there are political debates about banning this and other types of veils and clothing Muslim women wear. We run the risk of applying a double standard in Europe, a standard where everything Muslim is oppressive and wrong, while everything Christian or Jewish is part of the European tradition and history.
