We wish her to take with her in thought to wherever she goes to solve the Burma Frontier Areas(BFA)fate during her father’s time to let them get what was according to the vision of her father had been for them. It had been to give them accommodation as they were to have self-determination in the federal constitution of the Union of Burma. They had to be under the UN Trusteeship system in which they should be trained to become self -governing territories even to become independent countries after they were well trained to be so. But they trust in him his offer to have the country constitution in federal form if they took independence with Burma Ministerial to even secede from the federal Union if they no longer were happy to be in the federal form of constitution. That was why secession clauses were provided in the constitution of the Union of Burma 1947. That was not to really secede, but it was to have it as a guarantee that they join the Union of Burma involuntarily. The Chin territory did not even secede even when they were the only battalions that defended Rangoon and the Union government while the whole country was under multi- insurgencies in 1949 except Rangoon that was defended by the Chin battalions because of their loyalty to Panglong Agreement and the late General Aung San. The BFA territories and others are now making sure that they keep on the loyalty to Panglong agreement. But if the Panglong Agreement is no longer observed, they will have nothing to keep on their loyalty to . Lnk.
