Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of Myanmar Defence Services, is also known as “Ma-Ah-La”. “Ma-Ah-La” (မအလ) is the abbreviation in Burmese for “mofo”.
Most people in Myanmar believe that Min Aung Hlaing was born on 3 July 1956, with a congenital disorder in a ghetto. His father was unknown, and his mother was a village whore. He has recently exhibited signs of psychopathy with his behaviour towards people.
The symptoms
According to Dr Prakash Masand, a psychiatrist and the founder of the Centers of Psychiatric Excellence, says common signs of psychopathy to be aware of include:
- socially irresponsible behaviour
- disregarding or violating the rights of others
- inability to distinguish between right and wrong
- difficulty with showing remorse or empathy
- tendency to lie often
- manipulating and hurting others
- recurring problems with the law
- general disregard towards safety and responsibility
The health experts suggest people with such symptoms need to get a proper diagnosis and treatment of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). But, Dr Masand says ASPD can be challenging to treat because the person who needs help doesn’t believe there is a problem with their behaviour. As a result, they rarely seek treatment.
A complete mental case
Min Aung Hlaing’s behaviour evidently demonstrates he has a severe Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
Look at some of his behaviours. He just made his portrait sculpture and saluted the sculpture with his followers; ordered to shoot people’s heads, including toddlers’ heads; believed that the head of the state would be changed by shooting civilians’ heads; ordered to rob charity money from donation boxes from his religious temples, and he later offers lunch and honour certificates to the monks of those temples.
Surprisingly, the UN, the USA, the UK, the ASEAN and the other countries are trying to negotiate with Min Aung Hlaing. They should have rather realised this individual exhibits untrustworthy behaviour and lacks direction.
I believe engaging in conversation with someone of such an unstable mental state is improbable.
