With their people dying by the thousands, Myanmar's junta says that they can't handle the visa applications of aid workers. Can't handle the visa applications but they seems to have no problem holding a referendum on a new constitution.
I feel it strange that the Myanmar government is actually building voting booths in homeless camps, while playing upbeat national songs on Myanmar television asking/telling people to vote (anyone seems the images on ChannelnewsAsia). All the while the regime holding up tonnes of urgent relief supplies at airports! I would call it madness, expect that might be insulting mad people. Cyclone Nargis has left over 60,000 people dead or missing already, and they are more interested in holding a referendum?
How about saving as many people as they can. That way maybe the death toll won't reach the 100,000 mark like experts say it will. Saving people is to me, far more important than a referendum.
