Money matter and freedom

A friend of mine from Pakistan said human right in Saudi is zero, but so long as staying and working according their law mean it is financially secured in a short time. He is a surgeon with UK degree. His passport was taken by Saudi authority on arrival. He was provided by translator at work. His salary is twice as much as he earned in Britain. Saudi government also provide school fees for his children being educating in Pakistan.

According to him, there are loads of workers from west, where people keep talking about human right and freedom. In Saudi, all women, including westerners, need to wear veil. Why do they choose Saudi? You know what.

The US government keeps criticising against Burma for lack of democracy. Interesting thing is that they imposed economic sanction against Burma nearly a decade ago. Obviously, it is not working at all when Burma's clever generals are playing with China, Russia and South East Asian fellows. Why the US never tried to put economic sanction against Saudi on the ground of lack of democracy.

At the same time, I doubt about Aung San Suu Kyi's role in Burma. As she failed to topple the regimen in initial phase, but just gave a pieces of political stimuli, the generals have got a good time to make a powerful medicine to fight back. Anyway, I am a lazy watcher while sitting in my living room in London Docklands. It's boring, isn't it?
