She is a fraud,but stupid jingoistic burmans support her.She and sam rainsey have a lot in common.Typical of the west to follow the wrong horse in a world rife with match fixing.

It went under the hammer on Wednesday (on order of the Supreme Court), however the floor price of USD90 million appears to have deterred prospective bidders.Falcon Randwick wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2013 4:27 amI lived about 300 metres down the road from Ma Suu's "palatial" mansion, and any description of it as palatial is drawn either from your imagination or from the white-anting comments made after his release by the CIA stooge who swam there on cue to have her charged immediately prior to her impending release and thus unable to participate in forthcoming elections, certainly not by any person who saw it during her internment there.
Keep in mind that she's the daughter of the murdered founding Prime Minister of the country and the house would once have been impressive, I've seen photos of its recent renovation and it does look great. Now. But up until when I left in 2011, it looked like a mouldy, beaten down glorified shack. The regime had not permitted ANY maintenance for the previous 20 years. The roof leaked in numerous places and, let me tell you, it can fucking piss down rain in Yangon. As a result of the house being on Inya lake it flooded several times over the years and repeated calls for assistance to clean it up or replace damaged chattels were denied.
There is no indication Suu Kyi is even aware.

"The Lady" , once the Beacon of Hope, Freedom and Democracy has since lost a lot of her luster. She was infact so far western leaning that she did not mind the ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya. Her Home was very, very close to the US Embassy which made her play the walkie - talkie game hoping for a Regime Change. She actually brought more misery to the Burmese than before while all the hope they had was fixed on her image of the ultimate liberator. Not much different to how many Israeli see Netanyahu today.
