The Myanmar army government began to shake after public officials (PNS) refused to work with the military. The presence of striking employees further strengthened the civil disobedience movement to paralyze the bureaucracy under the command of the army.
“The military must show that they can run the country well as a government. But if we … public officials don’t work, their plans to seize power will fail,” said Thida, a lecturer who asked to use a pseudonym. ., Friday (2/26/2021).
Apart from the employees, several doctors and workers from various sectors also participated in the massive strike against the military government. Many of them are now hiding to avoid capture by the military.
“Almost a third of the national hospitals no longer function,” military leader Min Aung Hlaing said this week.
Since the mass strike was launched, the government has begun to falter so that the military cannot collect taxes, send electricity bills, test for COVID-19, or simply run the government.
The specter of the financial crisis, which has emerged due to the pandemic and declining foreign investment, threatens the military government of Myanmar.
The exact number of workers who went on mass strike is not yet known. A Crowdsourced survey found that employees from 24 ministries were involved in the action. According to the United Nations (UN) special rapporteur on Myanmar, he estimates that three-quarters of public servants go on strike.
As reported in state media on Tuesday (2/23), Min Aung Hlaing criticized medical professionals for failing to fulfill their duties. He also hinted at the possibility of giving cash prizes to doctors and teachers who continue to work.
In addition, all government workers, drivers and administrators were fired for absence from work.
