Why and how did the regime’s relative get a U.S visa?

Is that the official policy of the United States government to allow relatives and benefiters of the regime or US embassy officers in Rangoon acting on their own? Regardless, it undermines the credibility of the US government. Here are some examples.

1. Zaw Tun Oo, son of late general Tin Oo and Khin Thida, daughter of former Rangoon mayor U Ko Lay had their honeymoon in the US.

2. Retired brigadier general Myint Shwe’s daughter is living in Maryland.

3. Retired general Tun Kyi’s daughter and three grandchildren get multiple visit visas. The children are going to school here.

4. Singer Myo Gyi, son of Major Khin Maung Htay came here a few times on visit visas.

5. Tycoon Tay Za and his cronies made multiple visits ( Tay Za, U Lu Lu, Min Thein, Hla Win and Aye Htun) to the US. U Lu Lu is well known as Tay Za’s right-hand man. They chartered a plane from San Francisco to Las Vegas.

6. Aye Tun, son-in-law of retired general Kyaw Ba got multi pass visas to the US.

7. Sonny Swe, son of general Thein Swe and Ya Min Htin had a visit to San Francisco.

The fact is that they all have visas issued by the US embassy in Rangoon. We heard that senior embassy staffs enjoy parties at Tay Za’s house on Inya Road. How close they are and what kind of deal they may have made remains unanswered. It is duty of all Burmese to expose it.

Thank you Ko Moe Thee. You are so clever. I like your post so much I copied it directly onto my own post. This is one of the most effective weapons to fight the junta. They and their families and friends must understand that they will never get away with their crimes, right all the way through to hell.

The behavior of these embassy officials is deplorable. As the U.S. Burmese community well knows, the Visa desk there has been rife with corruption with wealthy families paying $10,000 per person to be placed ahead of others on the visa lottery.

I understand now this is closer to $30,000 per person - nice to know it is harder to do, but the only official face of U.S. policy in Rangoon should not be partying with the regime.

A cool list to expose more of the junta's cronies.
