Myanmar: “Oh yeah, everything is fine”

"while everyone is worried about the situation in Burma, the above video from The Straits Times show Myanmar nationals happily stating that they are happy to be in Singapore and how things are “not so bad” back there besides the curfews and how everything seems to be calm, while smiling at the cameras.”

Can't really read Burmese, but such comments from the interviewees are highly insensitive of their fellow countrymen. Maybe the Burmese here got too good a life that they get soft and cannot emphatise. Heard from a friend there's some vigil at SMU, anyone attended? Straitstimes should go and cover that one.
