QUOTE OF THE DAY

"The music industry in Burma has almost ground to a halt because of the pirated CDs. We could do nothing in the last two to three years. Some singers performed in concerts promoting the sale of their music albums in VCDs. But economically it is not viable,"

Singer and song writer Saung Oo Hlaing
