It is a total waste of three years time to reproduce a sixth council 40 vol with peta and netti ,milinda in roman script just like their chulatepitaka in lanna script 6 years ago. Who can be sure those readings are correct if he doesn't check the burma script original?Their 3 set of 45 vol thai tipitaka are not even in roman script book yet!
Thet should spend three years time to publish first time in pali -Jataka tika using mss in national library in Bangkok and Yangon and colombo.
I don't know what to say to these people.
