An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:



the son of one of the Burmese junta’s biggest cronies, Tay Za, has ridiculed the actions of Western democracies, particularly the US sanctions targeting Burmese military officials’ bank accounts and assets. The email, however, has not been independently confirmed as authentic.

In the email, Htet Tay Za, 19-year-old son of Air Bagan CEO, Tay Za, wrote: “US bans us? We're still f---ing cool in Singapore. See my photos? We're sitting on the whole Burmese GDP. We've got timber, gems and gas to be sold to other countries like Singapore, China, India and Russia.”

He also added that people took to the streets to protest against “a little fuel price hike”, something he considers trivial because he flies back and forth to Burma once a week.

“My brother is rocking on his red brand new Lamborghini Gallardo with hot sexy western chicks,” he goes on in his email. “Come on with Bagan (Air Bagan). It is cheaper than others, right? one US $ makes a lot differences in Burmese currency. And I need another Ferrari to rock on!” [sic]

Htet Tay Za studies at the United World College of South East Asia, an exclusive and expensive school in Singapore.
