    As a heritage professional from outside the country I am impressed by the great array of colonial era heritage buildings, and equally impressed that there are many locals who appreciate them as well, and are working hard to preserve them.
    I just hope that they can succeed and prevent the downtown heritage being demolished or lost in a sea of mediocre high-rise in a rush to extract maximum profit. Smart planning can preserve teh best of the past, and allow for new development.

    Wow!! Yangon reminds me of Kolkata, especially the colonial buildings. We too are facing the similar issues in restoring our colonial heritage. I think both cities must work together in this issue.

    Nico Elliot has as much right to criticize as any other citizen. The world has moved on from clinching ethnicity to nation. Elliot is part of Burmese society, and has a right to point out what can be made better. That's a sign of patriotism, not unpatriotic. Imagine if immigrants in the UK or the US would be banned or criticized from contributing to the public discourse. That's a sign of a weak political maturity.

    i thought the british designed and built rangoon so where did the name yangon come from its like calling london yondon

    • @j0hntan
      @j0hntan 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yangon was founded as "Dagon" in the early 11th century (1028-1043) by the Mon people.
      In 1755, Burmese King Alaungpaya, captured Dagon, and changed the name to "Yangon" (End-of-strife).
      The British captured Yangon in the Second Anglo-Burmese War of 1852, and spelt the name as "Rangoon" and made it the capital of British Burma.
      So, I guess the Brits mispronounced Yangon and it became Rangoon.
      As for London, you may want to call it Londinium, the original name given by the Romans when they built it in 47 AD.

    It would be stupid of them to let the buildings crumble down. Nothing more intelligent than preserving and making money from them today,

    colonial buildings are a symbol of foreign oppression... what on earth are they thinking. who is funding these people to talk this way? Myanmar heritage remains in the north like Bagan, Mandalay and Sagaing.

    That is not a problem as long as what he is seeking is not something that will benefit ONLY himself. I see myself as a global citizen. But I live here in Norway where I have invested money. I expect to influence public policy on behalf of businessmen like myself, while at the same time contributing to society. A free society can only benefit from rational criticism that's based on facts and for the betterment of a country for all.
