NAYPYITAW, 10 July 2021, (TON): A state-backed Myanmar power company warned its customers their electricity supplies could be disrupted if they continue refusing to pay their bills as part of a boycott that has hit the junta in the coffers.
Myanmar has been in turmoil since a February coup that ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her government, with hundreds dead in a brutal crackdown and a mass anti-junta strike crippling the economy.
Thousands of civil servants have walked out in protest, leaving schools, universities and hospitals empty and the State Administration Council, as the junta calls itself, struggling to issue bills or collect taxes.
It said said that for the benefits of the people, you are requested to cooperate and help to regularly pay monthly fees."
It added that, without money from its customers, production and supply of electricity would be affected.
Not everyone took the warning seriously.
Wrote another “return the power to the elected government and it will get back to normal."
