  This is an outrageous robbery out of donations. What a disgrace to be using other people's donations and cheat it to be one man's (Lt Gen Myint Swe's) personal gift to the people. Shameful act but this is not unexpected from such people killers though.

  Things are nowhere near peaceful in Myanmar. Even after a week, military Regime still has no idea of the actual impact of the Nargis and they are not even trying at it. Hundreds of villages are destroyed and state television and newspapers has not even able to announce any list of wiped out villages at all except for a few big townships until now. Sattelite images have proved so many villages turned to big pool of water after the cyclone.

  Hundreds of thousands of survivors are piled up in townships like Myaung Mya, Laputta with no effective aid supply system. Military has no infrastructure to handle this situation at all.
  An example- to supply aids to the flooded area which is not accessible by land, they don't have enough helicopters. Their soldiers(privates) themselves are poor and hungry bunch (of course while the generals are millionaires) of people who has no idea how to handle this kind of situation at all. (They are only trained to oppress the people in any way they can).

  One latest news from inside of myanmar says that in Myaung Mya, military locked up the compound of tens of thousands of cyclone victims from nearby villages under the reason that they might be robbing the town since they are just hungry and homeless. Town people takes that the main reason is to make sure that they don't want the referendum to be disturbed as referendum is ON in Myaung Mya.

  Bottom line is- if Military doesn't open it up for aids groups like UN to come in and help in full swing in time, the cyclone victims are going to suffer much more than they have from Nargis it self.
