I got the following email from someone!! I have no idea this is true or not because I have to do more reading. I shared it because it is interesting!!! Good Read Folks..................


"To All Who DID NOT Relinquish Burmese Citizenship. Please read this carefully: my "postulation" ; "hypothesis" .


Regardless of what your NEW Citizenship OR Passport is, If you did not relinquish your Burmese/Myanmar Citizenship LEGALLY, or OFFICIALLY, you are DEEMED to still be a Myanmar National or Citizen.

Take care. You may still be a Myanmar Citizen.

Here is a classic example of this :

1. Myanmar born Kyaw Zaw Lin left Burma and eventually became a Citizen of the United States of America .

2. He returned to the Union of Myanmar on 3rd September on a U..S. Passport.

3. He was arrested at the Airport, and interrogated for alleged dissident activities.

4. Although he HOLDS a U.S. Passport, he is technically DEEMED to still be a Burma born Citizen of the Union of Myanmar .

This technicality makes him a DUAL Citizen.
Thus, he is STILL considered a Myanmar National
Therefore he is subject to the Laws of Myanmar (illegal though it may or may not be).
Authorities in Myanmar have IGNORED his US Citizenship, and are said to be allegedly torturing him in Insein Prison.

WHY?
In his hurry to leave Myanmar , it is reasonable to presume, that he would neither have had the time, nor the opportunity or inclination, to RELINQUISH his Burmese or Myanmar Nationality or Citizenship, like I did.

Prior to my having left Burma for Good, I had a Green Citizenship of the Union of Burma Certificate ( Hard cover just like a Passport size one) Not just an N.R.C. which is a different thing.

1. I had to attend the Law Court Chamber of a Session Judge in 1966. ( Strand Road cnr of Barr St .)
2. There I filled in a Form
3. With the Form, my Burmese Citizenship Certificate was handed in.
4. I had to tender Kyats Fifty (Ks.50)

The Form was in English.
The bottom of the Form said, ........ and shall ever Pray..... Signature___ _________ __.

The Clerk of Court was an Anglo-Burmese lady.
I asked her, "Why does it say, ..... and shall ever pray"?
She replied, "If you don't pray, you don't get it" meaning applying to relinquish my U of B Citizenship.
That is archaic English used for the processes in the House of Paliament - Westminster style.
