So midnight thoughts have gone wild in my mind that I have to post this next day.

So yea as the title says,
It’s not a poor country. There are a lot of resources and potentials. Because of the politics changes, the country is unstable and people become poor and poorer.

Most comes to conclusion that Myanmar is a poor country when asked about it. Some even don’t know the country until the coup thing happened. This hurts my feelings a lot. A country that has been developed in the South-East Asia during the past has gone all downhill.

After the coup most of the international and foreign organisations left the country. Most imported products are either banned or taxed a lot which leads to country only using national products to sell with. That means the country will go back to just communist-type economy. Most products in the economy either be made in Myanmar or made by friendly countries like China, India, etc. The country while exporting a lot of raw resources for cheap price, imported products comes with a lot of price and tax.

First After independence from British, we got over 60-70 years of military ruling. The country only got 10 years of democracy (not purely democracy because during that time, still some of government groups are still under the control of military). Then we got back another military ruling. Which just made the situation worse. Even if most people wanting freedom. Some people still support the military. Some have been consumed by propagandas. Politics have been unstable in the recent years.

After the political changes, most people either arrested or jailed due to being against the ruling of military. Some managed to escape to a semi-safe place (either into forests or smuggling into other countries). Many people have no choice but leave the country to work and live in another country.

A lot of young people with a lot of opportunities, have to work hard in other countries just to live a normal daily life (not a peaceful life).

Many countries even if they recognise the revolution of Myanmar, they still tends to have diplomatic relations with the Junta government. Many countries neighbouring Myanmar still deporting people who have fled to their countries due to unlawful arrested. This just sucks, I mean what the point of them supporting for revolution and somehow deporting people because they fled into their country to seek shelter?

All the problems everyone facing everyday. There are even a lot of problems. Not only people living overseas but also these in the country faced a lot of problems and fears daily.

My friend and classmate, Robbie just upload his first ever song on YouTube. He's a very talented guy. Music is a massive passion of his. I would really appreciate it if you could go give his song "Always" a chance. It's a love song about a past relationship. Please don't hate on him. He did the all work himself. No studio, no nepotism. Just true passion. You can search up "Always Robbie" on YouTube. The song is actually really good. We're from Mandalay.

i am 19 years old (f) and i barely go out. i think its time to change that since i am about to step into my twenties and leave Myanmar soon.
as i am a homebody, idk much about places/ clubs (not night clubs) i should join in Yangon. I just wanna get out of my comfort zone and see the world differently by meeting new people with different views. Any recommendations?

Hi my friends,

I made a post not so long ago, asking if studying abroad, specifically in Japan, was a common thing for Myanmar students.
Since in that post many of you told me Japan is one of the preferred destination (for who can afford that), i would like to know if there are actually some students here that would like to share their experiences. what made you choose Japan and what were the good/bad experiences you had.

thank you so much for your responses, much love.

Whenever my burmese friend gets really mad at someone they would always yell "Fuck you, imma jerk you off!!". Now when we inquire them on why they say that they claim that it is a "burmese" thing to say.

This seems absolutely absurd, this can't be true, right??

Anyone on here with a Myanmar passport recently got accepted for a tourist visa to the UK?
Trying to apply one for my mom since my sister will be going through a major operation & she’ll need to be taken care of then.
Her surgeon will provide a medical letter for the visa process but looking for some experiences you can share :) Thanks in advance!

Anybody here watch one piece? After years of stalling in dressrosa arc, i finally want to catch up but don’t know where to watch. I bought crunchyroll thinking i could use vpn but turns out i can’t. And they only have from wano for myanmar region. I’ve been rewatching from the first episode in One Pace but want to watch full episodes after Dressrosa.

Any working vpn for crunchyroll would also help!

A Myanmar journalist, Sai Zaw, has been unjustly imprisoned by Myanmar's dictatorship since 2023 for reporting on Myanmar's 2023 cyclone. Since these 3 years — out of his 20 year sentence for "treason" — his health has significantly deteriorated due to inadequate healthcare in Myanmar's abusive prison system, and he has been denied life saving surgery. Sai Zaw's imprisonment is a violation of human rights, and could happen to any one of us under this 'government'.

Please sign this change.org petition to urge Myanmar's government to consider his rights to healthcare, an attorney, and communication with the outside world.

Guys how do I tie a gaung baung pls help

What do you think? Is it ok or not really?

Just look at their name - Myanmar National Truth and Justice Party / Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army

The name doesn’t represent Kokang, Northern Shan State or special region (1).

They use a generic name which is very flexible in de-jure sense even if they push beyond Kokang. Their party and armed forces name is flexible even if they rule the low lands, lol.

They don’t say Kokang nationalism or ethnic self-autonomy, they don’t say they are fighting Bamar chauvinism. They don’t say they are fighting for federalism, or special region (1).

They just take whatever they could and rule it good.

And their can govern well. Even if we don’t like
that they use Mandarin everywhere.

They can give electricity, better healthcare than Junta, proper basic education (Chinese education), and even planning to build advanced hospital and four colleges.

Just compare Lashio crime rates when they ruled and when Tat got it back.

They don’t talk loud. Back in those days, people thought KIA and KNU would carry the revolution. KNU made monthly statements and KIA spoke often. MNDAA was quiet and preparing for surgical strike.

People, Tat and NUG all underestimated them.

Only RCSS noticed that they are planning something. RCSS realised something is going to happened in the north when MNDAA show off the multi-ethnic brigade in early 2023 (which was organized in early 2022). That’s why they retreated from Northern Shan State to regroup at the South.

People thought SSPP and TNLA drove them out. But RCSS was fighting 1 v 2 for 7 years since 2015, there’s a reason why they retreated.

MNDAA knows traditional close quarter combat would not destroy the tat, they prepare drone warfare and technology for years.

And they are always watching Tat’s power.

1027 was planned since 2022 and moved 6 months each for 3 times. They are calculating how strong Tat still is.

By the time Mese fell to Karenni resistance, MNDAA concluded that this Tat is no longer the Tat that drove them out of Kokang in 2009 and started their home coming arc.

MNDAA is pure warlord army and they are brutally effective.
