S'pore military copters in Burma airspace

Singapore appeared to be only country that Burma has given permission to enter its territorial water and air space as the junta continue to deny permission to foreign naval ships and military helicopters and cargo plane from entering Burma's territory.

The junta has insisted that only commercial boats and plane be permitted to enter its territory but only under strict supervision and guidelines.

Three weeks after the Cyclone Nargis, less 50 percent of affected areas and people have received some forms of assistance, according to the source. French warship, Mistral, has decide to unload is supplies for the cyclone victims at Thailand's island resort of Phuket after floating on the Indian Ocean for two weeks near Burma's territorial water.

International community is watching closely if the junta allows more relief workers to come in. Bangkok-based international journalists also wait for their permission to go in. Burma said that it would quicken the visa process from three weeks to a few days.
