Suu Kyi still locked in a battle with the military
Last month, Aung San Suu Kyi visited Thailand for the first time as State Counsellor and Foreign Minister. She had two key motives for the visit. One was to talk with Thai authorities about giving fair and equal wages to Burmese workers who officially work in Thai industries and food chains. The second was to draw up an appropriate plan to resettle the Burmese refugees in Thailand, who have many ethnic backgrounds, such as Mon, Karen, Kayah, Shan and Burman.
On her three-day visit, she met Burmese migrant workers at Mahachai in Samut Sakhon. Thai officials decided only 500 workers could meet her, saying the limit was for her safety. But when she arrived, only 100 migrants were allowed to meet her - and they were selected by Thai authorities and factory owners, not Myanmar workers' associations. Thousands of people had hoped to see her and were willing to tell her about poor working conditions, but many were unable to do this. (Courtesy of nationmultimedia.com)
