Japan cancels grants for Myanmar project over shooting
Posted: 16 October 2007 0810 hrs
TOKYO - Japan has decided to cancel grants of up to 552 million yen (US$4.7 million) to Myanmar over the shooting of a Japanese journalist, the foreign minister said Tuesday.
Japan has decided to cut its assistance in connection with the killing of Kenji Nagai, 50, in Myanmar last month, Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura said.
It is the first punitive action taken by Tokyo since Myanmar's military government launched its deadly crackdown on demonstrators, prompting Western-led calls for further sanctions on the rulers.
Japan, in a rare break with the United States and the European Union, has been one of the largest donors to Myanmar, although it says it only provides humanitarian aid to the country.
Japan's grants to Myanmar totalled 1.353 billion yen in the last fiscal year to March 2007.
Nagai, a video journalist for Tokyo-based APF News, was killed on September 27 in Yangon as he filmed the crackdown on protesters by Myanmar's military after demonstrations led by Buddhist monks.
Television footage showed him apparently being shot at close range by security forces.
The cancelled grants had been intended to finance the construction of a human resources centre in Myanmar.
Japanese officials had earlier expressed caution about punishing Myanmar, fearing that the government would not be hurt as it could still rely on economic support from China, its main ally.
Japan and China have often jostled for influence in Asia.
Japan in 2003 suspended low-interest loans for Myanmar's infrastructure projects to protest the continued detention of Nobel laureate and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi. - AFP/ir

the lady is nice...Originally posted by fudgester:Well, I'll bear that in mind.
She just gave me a short call.... she just told me to not think so long and hard about what happened just now and told me to focus on my lessons later.
I hope that's a good thing.

I am getting strange deja vous vibes, coz there was someone like that previously who didn't work long. Then I realise both were IT-trained but doing admin job. >_< -
i think the colleague has the makings of a psychopath like my boss.. where everything must be in black and white through email.. and ALL email is archived..
i think it's conditioned in her after a career of being and surrounded by people who invest almost all their energy in politicking instead of doing workOriginally posted by av98m:but there was no need for that email!!
