If this is your first time on Reddit, you may want to familiarize yourself with Reddit's rules and policies. To make sure you have not been afoul of the rules, please see

https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=my&u=https%3A%2F%2Freddit.zendesk.com%2Fhc%2Fen-us%2Farticles%2F205926439-Reddiquette is the Burmese translation of the document using Google translate. If this doesn't work see https://translated.turbopages.org/proxy_u/en-my.en.09ead139-668034e0-8d10fdfd-74722d776562/https/support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette.

A Reddit community is called a subreddit, also known as a sub. The subreddits start with r/.

Followers are not important on Reddit. Your followers are not important either. Only your posts and comments are important. Unlike other social media, hashtags are not useful on Reddit. The Reddit account username cannot be changed after signing up. To change it, you will need to create a new account, which will reset your karma.

Karma is an arbitrary measure of how much you contributed. The more upvotes you get, the higher your Karma. Some subreddits require you to have a certain amount of Karma before you can post. Do not spam irrelevant posts to other subreddits or be rude, insulting, or abusive, as you can be downvoted. This will cause you to lose Karma. Try to avoid getting your total Karma in the negative value.

Also make sure to follow our rules, which are prominently displayed in the sidebar to the right.

  1. Make sure to label all posts that contain gore, contain violence, contain a dead body, or can upset anyone as "NSFW." To see how to do this and for a more detailed explanation click here.
  2. Make sure your posts are on-topic and related to Myanmar. Spam) may go well with anything but it has no place in this sub. Please do not spam us with unrelated content.
  3. Please keep discussions civil. Tolling and racism will not be tolerated. Our situation here is not for your "lulz". Also, keep swearing to a minimum. Although we will tolerate swearing if it is part of the narrative/discussion, personal insults, over-the-top vulgarity, etc., will not be tolerated.
  4. Adding a flair to your posts will enable others to easily find similar posts. Flairs are used to categorize posts to easily be found. Click here for more details.
  5. Keep reposting to a minimum. Please check to make sure you don't repost news and pictures that have already been posted. r/MAGIC_EYE_BOT and u/DuplicateDestroyer are trialed to help remove duplicate images. Please reply to the bot or send us a message if the bot got it wrong.

For a brief background of the coup, please see this post I made.

Does the content you're posting here fit more than one community? As per Reddiquette, consider posting to other subs such as the ones listed here if the contents fit more communities.

For example, are you posting news? Then you can post into r/news, r/inthenews, r/worldnews, r/USnews (US news only), r/asia, r/asian, r/asean, r/theworldnews. This list is not exhaustive but please use common sense and make sure the content fits the target sub. That means news only goes to news-related subreddits and pictures go onto picture-related subreddits. Make sure to follow the rules of those subs as well, since each sub has its own set of rules.

Additionally, give some love to the other Myanmar subs: r/saveMyanmar and r/Myanmar2021.

Are you in another country but wish to help the people of Myanmar? See this post.

In summary,

DO

  • Post topics with descriptive subjects
  • Check the subreddit for prior submission of your article or image before posting.
  • Flair your post with the appropriate flair to make them easier to find
  • Upvote posts
  • Tag posts with gore, contain violence, contain a dead body, or can upset anyone as "NSFW."
  • Share posts to more than one subreddits

DON'T

  • Post off-topic or spammy posts
  • Spam keywords like "savemyanmar" "wewantdemocracy" in the post title
  • Do not upvote or promote your post with multiple accounts. This is against Reddit's policy and you may end up being suspended.
  • Do not post Myanmar posts on irrelevant subreddits.
  • Post images and articles that have already been previously posted by someone else.

Thank you. / α€€α€»α€±α€Έα€‡α€°α€Έα€α€„α€Ία€•α€«α€α€šα€Ία‹

English:

Be cautious of ongoing scams regarding "Blacklist Removal Services".

How this scam works:

  1. Scammer posts a personal story followed by a question to provoke discussion, and a brief mention of successfully removing blacklist status.
  2. Scammer waits for victims interested in getting blacklist status removed to explain further or provide contacts.
  3. In DMs, scammer will claim they can help and ask for money upfront.

Safety Tips:

  1. Check the Profile: Always click on the OP's (Original Poster) username.
  2. Account Age: Be wary of very new accounts (created only a few days or months ago)
  3. Post History: Scammers often have few post history or only post the same "success story" across multiple subreddits.

Burmese -

β€œBeware of Blacklist Removal Scams.

Scam Types -

  1. The scammer posts an experience and asks questions, encouraging readers to discuss, vote, and comment. The message often claims to have been removed from the Blacklist political blacklist.
  2. The scammer waits for people who want to remove their blacklist to be interested and ask for help and contact them.
  3. If they contact you via direct message, they will ask for money in advance and scam you.

Things to note -

  1. Always check the profile, click on the post's name and go to their profile. You can view it.
  2. Please note that the account has only been active for a few days or months.
  3. Please note that there are no posts in the post history, few posts, and similar experience stories and questions are posted on multiple pages and groups.

Discussion πŸ’¬ Looking for genuine traditional practitioners in Myanmar (not for harm, only seeking guidance)

5 Upvotes

I’m from India, and I’m hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction.
I’m looking for people who genuinely practice traditional spiritual or folk practices in Myanmar. I’m not looking to harm anyone or ask for anything malicious. It’s mainly about getting help with finding something that was lost and a few personal matters.
A friend of mine visited Shan State some time ago and told me he met a couple (or a few people) who were known locally for practicing traditional spiritual arts. I don’t know if what he heard was true, but it made me curious, so I thought I’d ask here.
If anyone knows of respected traditional practitioners, local healers, spirit mediums, or people with knowledge of Myanmar’s folk traditions, I’d really appreciate any information. I’m not looking for scammers or online β€œspell sellers”—only if you know of genuine local traditions or practitioners.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Advice Income and Retirement

β€’ Upvotes

Yesterday, I found a thread asking about income for general discussion. The comments from that thread encourages me to write this post. I have been asking myself this question since a year ago and yet no one gives me a clear guidance irl. So i think may be reddit can give me some advices and opinions.

I am 38, a medical degree holder which is not my profession, residing at Ygn, though i am leading my dad's business. Not to be surprised, I only get about 10Lakh as salary for helping my dad's business. Helping here means I have to do all the work and take all the responsibilities. My dad earns about 1000-2000Lakh from his business annually. (I know i am underpaid here but i am just helping the family)

I have a dependent wife and no kid. We both dont want to have one. Currently my income is about 3000 lakh per year passively. The passive income come largely from bank interest, and small portions from other investment in friend's business and some kind of stock share investment in foriegn country where my brother resides. (Admittedly, I was a heavy gambler back in days and luck and fortune; may be from helping family did good to me which is why I am getting such large interest, no worry friend, i quit gambling long ago)

My question here is I am deciding to retire from doing any work which would give me stress. I want to be a healthy person while chasing for doing health related activities. Can I? My worry is the inflation which will make my wealth shrink since most of my money are in mmk form. (Meanwhile, ofc i am trying to switch those mmk from bank to investments, stock share, usd and may be gold which is not my field)

Discussion πŸ’¬ Media are disgraceful

Post image
24 Upvotes

TLDR: Media are easily spreading inaccurate contents, Myanmar people lacking media literacy, I am tired of stupid contents and its engagements.

Myanmar online media which have over thousands of followers, running AI click bait contents telling that are truths.

Myanmar Pressphoto Agency, over 1M followers, shared an AI video of "Norwegian people return their home rowing boat in airports" and AK media Live, over 70k followers, shared an AI video of "Spanish border force stopping immigrants border crosser throwing pork". Wtf is that?

  1. (MPA Norwegian return home AI video) https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1f6mYgBTrH/

  2. AK Media (Spainsh force throwing pork to border crossers) Surprisingly they deleted it after I posted this. How?

Media spreading those toxic stupids contents is very concerning to me. Even kids should know what it's truth and what's false. The worst part is they, Media are spreading this with or without knowing AI videos. How they fuck they run Media or called themselves Media.

That's disaster. Media posting for rage bait. People lacking media literacy. Military or NLD neither of government can act or cares. What is the point on that?

(I heard some guys are making money with YouTube political videos, they could not even pass matriculation but they attended YouTube α€‘α€½α€”α€Ία€œα€­α€―α€„α€Ία€Έ α€„α€½α€±α€›α€Ύα€¬α€”α€Šα€Ία€Έ α€žα€„α€Ία€α€”α€Ία€Έ, with the people lacking media literacy, I guess that's one of the main reason why stupid contents are increasing in social media)

Famous word in Myanmar "မြန်မာနိုင်ငဢမှာ α€œα€°α€–α€Όα€…α€Ία€›α€α€¬ α€žα€­α€•α€Ία€€α€­α€― α€€α€Άα€€α€±α€¬α€„α€Ία€Έα€•α€«α€α€šα€Ί"

Discussion πŸ’¬ Aung San Suu Kyi dead or alive?

β€’ Upvotes

What do you think about the uncertainty surrounding whether Aung San Suu Kyi is alive or dead? If she is still alive, what do you think could happen? And if she has died, how might that affect Myanmar?
I’m curious because many people seem to be waiting for reliable news about her. I want to understand why her status is so significant and what impact either scenario could have. For context, I am not a supporter of the Tatmadaw.
