Aung San Suu Kyi’s birthday

June 19th, 2009 by Nicholas Farrelly · Add a Comment

Over at East Asia Forum I have a piece marking Aung San Suu Kyi’s 64th birthday and reflecting on some of the wider political context of June 2009.  It is available here.  I also noticed that The Irrawaddy has a selection of interesting Aung San Suu Kyi portraits to mark the occasion.

I’m sure I join most New Mandala readers in wishing Aung San Suu Kyi a happy birthday with many more to come.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
