Echoes of 'Myanmar' junta

EmailI was disappointed to read two articles in the paper recently which referred to Burma as Myanmar. Ever since the fascist junta in power arbitrarily renamed the country, there has been a convention on the left to refuse to accept the junta's decision and to continue to call the country Burma.
I hope that in future Star reports will not use the name Myanmar, as its use tends to give credibility to the brutal fascist regime.
