1. Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng says that the egoists who thought that they were living on their own, whoever rules the country, are also experiencing high commodity costs
Union Minister Dr. Tu Hkawng made the following review regarding rising costs for commodities via Facebook on July 28:
“I think that by this point everyone understands the concept of ‘kitchen politics.’ I believe even the egoists who thought that whoever rules the country, they are living on their own, also finally know that their salary and all the money they earn are devalued over time due to the military council.”
The price of food and consumer goods is rising due to the news that the terrorist military junta will print new 20,000 kyat banknotes.

6. American Myanmar community protests for the second day in a row against the junta-backed Thabarwa Meditation Centre monk
For the second day in a row, Burmese residents of the San Francisco Bay Area protested against a Myanmar junta-backed monk, Thabarwa Meditation Centre Sayadaw, who visited the United States, in front of the house where he was staying.
Along with other Burmese from the San Francisco Bay Area, Ma Pencilo, one of the prominent figures of the Spring Revolution who resides in Sacramento—a city that is almost over 100 miles from the San Francisco Bay Area—came to support the protest against the junta-backed monk.
About 50 Burmese people joined the protest in front of a house where Thabarwa Sayadaw was rented in a residential area.
While holding signs denouncing the monk who supported the military dictatorship in Myanmar, Burmese citizens protested in silence for more than two hours, despite the fact that they were not permitted to yell chants.
Eyewitnesses commented that the military junta-backed monk was hiding inside the house and dared not come out of it.
