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.

Discussion 💬 ⚠️⚠️Blacklist Removal Scam⚠️⚠️နိုင်ငံရေးအမည်ပျက်စာရင်း ပယ်ဖျက်မှုလိမ်လည်ခြင်း⚠️⚠️

56 Upvotes

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.

The Japanese top division is arguably the best in Asia along with the Saudi League, so it's very impressive to see a Burmese player at that level.

To give you context, Pyae Lyan Aung was a Myanmar national team keeper who was granted asylum by the Japanese government in 2021. He then tried out for a Japanese THIRD division team and couldn't make it. He even said the Myanmar national team would lose if they play against a team from the Japanese third division because the quality is very good there.

Kaung Zan Mara got signed by a team in the Japanese FIRST division. It just shows how good he is compared to the best keepers in Myanmar.

Now 24, he has dreams to play for the Japan national team. It's a very ambitious dream because in the last two World Cups, Japan beat Spain and Germany, and draw with the Netherlands. They are a very good national team.

His another dream is to play for the German giants Bayern Munich one day.

Currently, Kaung Zan Mara has been loaned out to Japanese second division team Vanraure Hachinohe to get some valuable playing time.

Born in Tokyo to a Rakhine dad and a Bamar mom, his parents must be so proud to see both their kids become top level athletes in Japan.

Do you guys know why arr pu shar puu is rarely available in typical burmese menu? Like, it's available in dedicated shops like Min Lan but not in like shwe pa lin or typical tea shops...

Is it not popular or is it hard to cook or is it ethnic?

If so, mohinga seems harder to cook with more ingredients and need speicifc kind of fish too and Shan noodles are always in the menu even tho its ethnic.

Advice Burmese Palm Leaf book/manuscript. Søren Egerod mentioned in it.

Post image
5 Upvotes

I have this palm leaf scroll/book/manuscript. I think it's Burmese, but not sure. Anyone here that have an idea what is in the text? and if it is old or some newer version of something?

I have two "scrolls" from an estate. The name Søren Egerod a danish specialist in Burmese is mentioned with normal letters in one of the scrolls.

Søren Egerod (1923-1995)

  • The Burma Connection: He was a legendary Danish linguist and Professor of East Asian Languages at the University of Copenhagen. In the 1950s and alternating decades, he traveled extensively throughout Southeast Asia, including Burma (Myanmar), Thailand, and surrounding regions to study indigenous languages, dialects, and grammatical structures.
  • The Palm Leaf Specialism: During his expeditions to remote areas like Kengtung (Chiang Tung) near the Burmese border, he meticulously collected and preserved ancient texts. He became globally renowned for analyzing and decoding rare bilingual Pāli-Burmese palm-leaf manuscripts and Buddhist scripts. His extensive personal collection of Burmese palm leaves was later curated by the British Library and Danish institutions to aid global research.

The estate is not from Søren Egerod, so what the connection is I do not know.

I hope someone knows something to help me on the road to what i actually have here :)

Advice Caller ID spoofing

3 Upvotes

I received a total of 5 phone calls from two different numbers back to back. The first one called me, I picked up and they said nothing. All I heard was faint background noises. (people talking, children playing etc) They didn't say anything and they also didn't seem to hear me so I hang up. I, then, got another call from another number and when I picked up, I got hit with "အားယားနေတာ မဟုတ်ဘူး ခဏခဏ ခေါ်မနေနဲ့". I've never called any of those numbers ever in my life.

I could barely hear the other person from both calls so I'm thinking it's a hardware issue ergo 2 sims on the same device?

I looked it up and it says something about scammers using my number as a fake caller Id.

Has my number been compromised? I've been using the same number since 2015-2016 so my pubescent self might've signed up on some sketchy websites so it might've been in some data leaks but why call now? Lol.

Discussion 💬 What the hell is a “Talent” in the job market?

3 Upvotes

Lately, I’ve been seeing an increasing number of job listings in Myanmar for positions titled "Talent."

​These aren't media companies or talent agencies—these are standard retail, consumer goods, and commercial businesses. But when you look at the actual job responsibilities, it boils down to one primary task: doing trending dances on Live streams or short videos on Tt to push sales.

​I find this both frustrating and confusing.

​First, misusing the term "Talent" for basic algorithmic trend-chasing seems completely disconnected from real skill or strategic marketing. But more importantly, from a business perspective, this is a terrible long-term marketing strategy.

​Here is why this approach will backfire and lead to negative sales over time:

​1. If you are known for dancing, you are NOT known for your brand.

Views do not equal brand equity. When a user watches a 10-second viral dance, they remember the song or the person—they do not remember the product quality, the brand name, or why they should buy it. The dancer gets the attention, while the product remains completely invisible.

2. ​It destroys pricing power and positioning.

If a business relies entirely on low-effort entertainment tricks to sell, it signals to the market that the product cannot stand on its own merit. Customers view the brand as a cheap novelty rather than a reliable, high-value provider.

3. ​High views, low conversion (The Vanity Metric Trap).

People scrolling on social media for cheap entertainment have zero purchase intent. Gathering thousands of empty views from scrollers who never intend to buy creates a false sense of performance. Meanwhile, actual paying customers who care about product details and value are turned off by the noise.

​4. Zero customer retention.

When the current video trend dies or the "Talent" leaves the company, what remains of the brand? Nothing. There is no customer loyalty, no unique selling proposition, and no foundation for repeat purchases.

​Trading product credibility for temporary algorithmic hype isn't building a business—it's just broadcasting noise.

​Are local businesses just blindly copying this trend without understanding conversion economics, or do people actually believe that dancing around on camera leads to sustainable growth?

Discussion 💬 CEIR TAX FOR VISITORS

5 Upvotes

I’m a foreigner who visited Yangon back in May and purchased an eSIM at the airport. During my 7-day stay, I received multiple texts reminding me to pay the CEIR tax within 30 days, but I left the country without paying.
I’ll be returning next month with the same phone. Does anyone know if I’ll have issues activating a new eSIM or using mobile data because I never paid the tax?
Has anyone been in a similar situation? Do tourists get another 30-day grace period when reentering Myanmar, or is the phone’s IMEI already blocked?

News 📰 There is a Burmese athlete playing well at Denso Airybees, a club in the Japanese women’s top division volleyball league. Her name is Yee Mon Myat, born and raised in Tokyo to a Rakhine dad and Bamar mom. Still only 19, she’s 5’10 and already a key player for her team. Incredible 👏🏾

The Japanese women’s top division volleyball league is among the top three women’s volleyball leagues in the world. So it’s amazing to see Yee Mon Myat excelling there despite still being a teenager.

She is playing at the world class level in her sport, and she’s not even close to her prime yet.

Volleyball is a popular and competitive sport in Japan. The Japanese women’s national team is currently ranked sixth in the world out of 122 countries.

On the other hand, Myanmar women’s national volleyball team currently has NR (not ranked) status in world rankings since they haven’t been active in so long.

My mood is really really bad these days. But ,today I went out and bought gift for my parents for Thadingyut. And I saw this medicine and bought it thinking "why not". I took 2 pills today and my mood really improved. I don't know it is placebo effect or just medicine doing its job.And I am planning to take it every day. But I was wondering is it okay to take it without prescription?And Is there other similar kind of medicine that work well on depression and ADHD? I don't want to go see psychiatrist.
