Union Minister Dr. Win Myat Aye says the people who are suffering from the actions of the military regime no longer trust them
Union Minister Dr. Win Myat Aye said, “The role of the people is very important. We all know this.

A housewife in Hlaing Township in Yangon said, “Everywhere is selling it at 8,000 MMK per Viss. I don’t know where the price they are talking about is. Now, even if you want to eat Burmese fritter, you can’t find it in the neighborhood. It is no longer sold because of the high price of palm oil. In other places, the oil price is over 8,000 MMK per Viss.”
It also said that the military council has no control over basic commodity prices, and has only been able to warn, intimidate and pressure the traders.

In the refugee camps on the Thailand-Myanmar border, the number of refugees is increasing day by day, and they are finding it difficult to earn a living. Analysts say although the United Nations and ASEAN are planning to provide assistance to refugees, it will not be possible to reach those in real need because the assistance can only be provided through the military regime.
Thailand authorities have set a deadline of the end of June for Burmese migrants to register for work and live and work
Ko Zaw from the Migrant Workers Rights Network (MWRN) said that Thailand authorities had allowed Burmese migrant workers to register for work in Thailand from 16 June to the end of June. That was because the civil society groups had requested the Thailand authorities not to send them back to Myanmar and asked for permission to work in Thailand out of pity for the military situation in Myanmar.

A domestic labor activist said that the closure of factories in Burma has ruined job opportunities and made it impossible for people to start their own businesses, therefore, people are leaving the country to find a way to earn a living.

Hundreds of thousands of Burmese have entered Thailand illegally through the Thailand-Myanmar border and many have been arrested and deported.
Within a year of COVID-19 and over a year of military coups, the people suffered violence and could no longer afford to live, so they began to think of ways to leave the country.
