From Wikipedia,

Gravy train” is an idiomatic expression that is used to refer to any lucrative endeavour.^[1]

The word “gravy” by itself was used prior to the invention of the phrase “gravy train” as aninterjection of pleasure at something that’s easy to do with a great reward, or as an adjective to describe such a situation, à la ‘cushy’. An easy task.

In politics, “gravy train” refers to a depraved gorging on luxuries, since someone else foots the bill.

The buck never stops at Than Shwe

“The buck stops here” is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman, who kept a sign with that phrase on his desk in the Oval Office. (Footage fromJimmy Carter’s “malaise speech” shows the sign still on the desk during Carter’s administration.) The phrase refers to “passing the buck,” i.e., handing responsibility to someone else, and the fact that the president has to make the decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility for those decisions.

Roller-coaster image of China also of its own doing

CHINA’S rise is still centred on its economy, with everything else including its global reputation perceived, relative and neither inevitable nor assured.

 

Meanwhile, problems with contaminated pet food returned with a vengeance, blowing up in Beijing’s face with hazardous fallout in Taiwan and Japan. Contaminated baby milk powder, discovered only last month, has so far killed four babies and sickened more than 50,000 others.

Pet food contamination was found in March last year when melamine as “protein falsifier” was added to food for cats and dogs. This was besides the rat poison aminopterin also found in pet food.

Today’s controversy over contaminated milk enlarges the earlier problem. When the lives of infants are sacrificed by the unscrupulous in indecent, immoral and unlawful profiteering, the problem is clearly larger than is acknowledged.

Even China’s leading dairy companies are implicated: Mengniu Dairy Group Co, Yili Industrial Group Co, Sanlu Group Co and Bright Dairy. Thus leading Western companies like Cadbury and Starbucks using Chinese dairy ingredients have had to suspend their China supplies.

Myanmar SPDC must search and destroy all the imported Chinese food products

Myanmar SPDC must

search and destroy all the imported Chinese food products

Myanmar SPDC must stop import of all Chinese food products, not only milk products but even the fruits and vegetables.

If SPDC really care about the well being of Myanmars, they must immediately ban the sale of all the Chinese foods. As there is unofficial cross border trade with China, just the import ban is not effective but must order the stop sale rule and need to confiscate all the Chinese food products and immediate destruction.

Myanmar do not have enough facilities and capabilities to check the Melamine level, not only milk and milk products but in all the food from fruits, vegetable, preserved fruits and etc..
