In the collision, which occurred between Wardan jetty and Ahlone dockyard, the sand carrier Zwe Myint Myat
Tun 3 broke in two. The front section
immediately sank, and the rear part
drifted with the current before sinking
near Pansodan jetty.
U Ko Ko Naing, director of the
Maritime Safety, Security and Environmental Protection Division of the
Department of Marine Administration, told The Myanmar Times on
damage, and the container ship suffered losses relating to the delay in
their schedule, he said.
Negotiations are proceeding. Both
ships have insurance, which is being
taken into account in calculating the
compensation. Both sides will reach a
compromise solution. When the investigation is complete we will release a
statement and forward it to the ship
owners. With their consent, we will
make it public.

Low-cost
housing
winners
out of luck
KO KO AUNG

OVER 100 people may be out of
luck after winning rights to purchase low-cost housing from Shwe
Lin Ban project in Yangons Hlaing
Tharyar township, according to Daw
Thida Than, a staff officer at the Department of Human Settlement and
Housing Development.
A total of 768 different units at Shwe
Lin Ban were meted out to applicants
who had to first fill out application
forms and then won a lucky draw for
rights to purchase a unit. Daw Thida
Than said not all of the winners have
yet shown up to register their claims,
despite being notified repeatedly.
Out of the [768] winners, 135
people have yet to register, she said.
Weve called them three times. We
will reject their names if they dont
register their purchase of the apartments within the allotted time.
A raft of low-cost projects has been
developed to assist those who are being priced out of the increasingly expensive market, with government bodies such as Yangon City Development
Committee planning several developments, usually on the citys outskirts.
Financing the purchase of houses
and also low-cost housing has been a
significant obstacle to increased house
ownership.
Government-backed entities have
worked to develop affordable financing options for potential buyers, with
Construction and Housing Development Bank (CHDB) to offer mortgages
to those who won the draw to buy
units at Shwe Lin Ban.
The bank has recently extended
its loan term to eight years for buyers
at the housing project, as its previous
four-year loans had not been enough
to support possible home buyers, according to CHDB managing director U
Win Zaw.
Of course our bank lengthened the
term. After stretching it out, more people are interested and the number of
borrowers increased, he said.
Daw Kay Khine has applied for a
mortgage to purchase a unit in the
Shwe Lin Ban project in Hlaing Tharyar township. She said the longer loan
term makes it much more financially
feasible for her to purchase a unit.
Those wanting to make a purchase
with a CHDB loan must first open
an account with the bank. The seller,
buyer and bank then have to sign a
contract.
Generally, CHDB requires a down
payment of 30 percent of a low-cost
apartment before providing the remaining 70pc as a loan. Extending the
term aims to make repayments less of
a burden for buyers.
It had about 100 borrowers for
units at Shwe Lin Ban before the
change, but now has over 200, he said.
CHDB received its licence to begin
operating in July 2013. Set up by the
Ministry of Construction, it aims to
give long-term loans for house buyers.
CHDB officials have said they aim
to extend their offerings with other
low-cost housing projects in Yangon.

Indian
merger
to create
retail
chain giant
INDIAN billionaire Sunil Mittals
Bharti Retail will merge with rival
Future Retail to create one of Indias
biggest chains with more than 570
stores across the country, the companies said.
Two companies will be formed
under the structure of the deal,
which was approved by the boards
of Bharti and Future, in a bid to
take advantage of Indias fast-growing retailing sector, they said in a
statement.
Retail is emerging as the next
big growth engine for India and we
will be well-positioned to be a major player in this growth story, said
Rajan Bharti Mittal, vice chair of
Bharti Enterprises.
The merger is also expected to
significantly reduce interest costs
on debts of the existing firms, the
statement added.
India has a fast growing retail
sector thanks to an expanding middle class, with another major player
Reliance Retail controlled by one
of Indias wealthiest people Mukesh
Ambani selling everything from
vegetables to electronics.
Bharti Retail is a unit of Mittals Bharti Enterprises, which runs
212 Easy Day convenience stores
across India.
Future Retail has a combined
17 million square feet (1.6 million
square metres) of retail space across
supermarkets, apparel outlets and
electronics stores.
Under the structure of the deal, a
new entity called Future Retail will
hold the combined store operations,
comprising some 570 stores across
more than 200 cities.
Another new entity called Future
Enterprises will own the infrastructure, investments and assets of both
companies, the statement said.

But more needs to be done to ensure this recovery is more than a seasonal phenomenon.
The Commission forecast that
the currency bloc would avoid much
feared deflation this year, with consumer prices rising an albeit low 0.1pc
in 2015, and then gaining momentum
to 1.5pc in 2016.
Deflation can be dangerous, risking to trigger a spiral of ever weaker
demand, slowing the economy and
pushing up unemployment.
The inflation data helps confirm
that an unprecedented bout of monetary stimulus known as quantitative easing by the European Central
Bank was taking effect despite the objections of powerful Germany.
Greeces Tsipras government came
to power in late January and has been
at loggerheads with the EU and IMF
ever since, holding up bailout cash
and putting its economy on the brink
of collapse.
Most worryingly, the EU predicted
that the Greek public deficit would
stand at 2.1pc this year, instead of a
surplus.
Running a budget surplus is the
key condition from the EU and IMF
for the Greek bailout. AFP

On May 3, Marine Le Pen said that
her father no longer spoke for the anti-immigration party, which opposes
Frances membership of the European
Union.
Jean-Marie Le Pen should no
longer be able to talk in the name of
the National Front. His comments are
against the fixed [party] line, she told
French radio.
Marine Le Pen has been actively
trying to distance the party from its
racist and anti-Semitic image as she
plans her bid for the next French presidential election in 2017.
The relationship between her and
her father has been particularly rocky
in recent months.
Six months ago, Ms Le Pen stormed
out of her fathers house after his Doberman dog savaged her Bengal cat to
death.
Since his recent slew of controversial interviews, the remaining ties appear to have snapped.
The elder Le Pen was conspicuously dropped from a line-up of National
Front leaders on stage during the partys traditional May 1 rally in Paris.
But determined to upstage his
daughter, he nevertheless strode uninvited onto the podium to take the ovation of the crowd.
I think that was a malicious act. I
think it was an act of contempt toward
me, Ms Le Pen said on May 3.
I get the feeling that he cant stand

America. What my
son did reflects very
badly on my family.
Dunston Simpson
Father of gunman
There is absolutely no comparison, Jean-Baptiste Thoret, the magazines film critic who only avoided the
attack because he had been late for
work, told Charlie Rose on PBS, according to an advance transcript May
4.
You have a, as you said, a sort
of anti-Islamic movement [in Texas]
... The problem of Charlie Hebdo is
absolutely not the same, added Mr
Thoret, flanked by Gerard Biard,
chief editor of the magazine.
Mr Biard added, We dont organise contests. We just do our work. We
comment on the news. When Mohammed jumps out of the news, we
draw Mohammed.
But if he didnt, we didnt. We
dont. We fight racism. And we have
nothing to do with these people.
On Twitter, jihadist Abu Hussain
Al-Britani, whom SITE identified as
British IS fighter Junaid Hussain,
described the gunmen as two of our
brothers.
But Mr Simpsons father Dunston
told ABC News that his son, who he
said worked in a dentists office, had
made a bad choice.
We are Americans and we believe
in America, Dunston Simpson said.
What my son did reflects very badly
on my family.
Mr Wilders told AFP in an e-mail
that he was concerned he may have
been targeted because he, like one of
the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists killed
in January, is on a hit list circulated
by al-Qaeda supporters.
I am shocked. I just spoke for half
an hour about the cartoons, Islam
and freedom of speech and I had just
left the premises, he said.
This is an attack on the liberties
of all of us.
The Dutch politician said he
would return to the Netherlands but
plans to come back to the United
States next week for another speaking engagement.
Ms Geller called the shooting a
war on free speech.
What are we going to do? Are
we going to surrender to these monsters? she wrote on her website.

ly addresses his people. But the audience was cancelled at the last minute
on the advice of his doctors.
Most Thais have only known King
Bhumibol on the throne and anxiety
over the future once his six-decade
reign ends is seen as an aggravating
factor in Thailands bitter political
divide.
King Bhumibol, formally known as
Rama IX, has spent most of the past
few months in hospital after undergoing an operation to remove his gall
bladder in October.
In the past two months King Bhumibol had made two brief trips from
his hospital bed, one in early May to
a nearby palace and one last month
to view the Chao Praya river that runs
through Bangkok.
Hundreds of Thais gathered outside of Siriraj yesterday, many waving
flags and dressed in the royal colour
yellow.
When the kings convoy passed
many burst into applause and shouted
of,Long Live the King!
Thai television stations showed the
monarch seated on a thrown in a hall
at the Grand Palace for a ceremony
in front of the countrys elite, backed
by chanting Buddhist monks. He returned to hospital after the ceremony
ended.
Prominent royal figures who attended included the next in line
to the throne, Crown Prince Maha
Vajiralonkorn, and his sister Princess
Sirindhorn.
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-OCha, an ultra-royalist former army
chief who seized power in a coup, also
attended.
The military took over last May
following months of street protests
that led to the toppling of Yingluck
Shinawatras democratically elected
government.

Tun Lwin launched his

I was hit by a flower to
recognise the seventh anniversary
of cyclone nargis on May 3 at the
royal rose restaurant in Yangon.
The 35-part book the title of
which refers to narcissus poeticus, a
type of flower also known as nargis
reveals his experience of the May
2008 cyclone which devastated
much of Myanmar.
nargis was one of the most
significant events in Myanmars
history. We should take lessons from
it so that we are better prepared if
we ever face a cyclone like nargis
in the future, U Tun Lwin, former
director general of the Department
of Meteorology and Hydrology, said.
Our country needs to do more
to protect ourselves from climate
change and natural disasters, and
i hope my book will be one of the
first steps toward doing so, he said.
in Nargis and I, he explains the
events that occurred in the lead-up
to the cyclone, which he says are
still misunderstood.

Pacquiao needs
surgery, team
hits out at
Commission
M
anny Pacquiaos camp
accused the nevada
athletic Commission on
May 4 of denying them
treatment for an injury
to his right shoulder which will now
require surgery to repair.
Pacquiao, who lost a unanimous
decision to Floyd Mayweather in their
welterweight unification fight on May
2 is expected to undergo surgery later
this week for a torn rotator cuff, ESPn
reported on May 4.
Dr neal Elattrache described the
tear as significant and said Pacquiao could be out between nine and 12
months.
We have an MRI scan that confirms he has a rotator cuff tear. He
has a significant tear, Elattrache of
the Kerlan Jobe Orthopedic Clinic told
ESPn.
Elattrache is one of the most respected surgeons in north america,
having operated on new England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, Los angeles
Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke and Los
injection by the United States antiDoping agency, which conducted random drug testing on the boxers in the
build-up to the fight.
Pacquiaos camp had planned give
him Toradol, a non-steroid anti-inflammatory, just before the fight, but
the Commission stepped in and halted
the treatment. The nevada Commission, which oversees boxing in the
state, said they were not told about
Pacquiaos injury until the night of the
fight.
Pacquiaos team said USaDa approved the injection five days before
the fight and they disclosed their desire to use it on fight night in their
medical forms.
This was disappointing to Team
Pacquiao since they had disclosed
the injury and treatment to USaDa,
USaDa approved the treatments
and Manny had listed the medication on his pre-fight medical form,
Pacquiaos camp said in the May 4
statement.

continued to work with trainer Freddie Roach who felt, along with promoter Bob arum, that the injury had
improved enough to allow the fight to
go ahead.
Manny continued to train and his
shoulder improved, though not 100
percent, the statement said. With
the advice of his doctors, Manny still
decided to proceed with the fight. His
shoulder wasnt perfect but it had improved in camp. AFP
