Guys I'm currently experiencing a blackout or power outage now and idk if this is only for me but these power outages happen so often that it feels more like a tradition more than an accident.

Numerous other people and organizations, including Gurkha community centers and hotels, have also been seized or arrested.

Helloo, this is a student from Myanmar and I need your help for my projects. We need your contribution in our surveys to complete our projects.

Flood Risks and Disaster Prevention in Myanmar: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/JnETm9VcRv

Public Opinions on Construction Bans in High-Risk Disaster Zones: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/ecSP1N9SCn

it would help us A LOT A LOT so pls answer and share to your friends. We only have the minimum amount of survey for both right now!!

This is the perfect community because our projects base on Myanmar issues about disaster risk reduction. We'll be researching on how to prevent disaster risks in our country.

We called this guy "ငပန်". He was with me for more than 10 years til he passed away of old age this year. This pic was taken back in 2021

I’m interested in understanding what areas of research Myanmar needs more of, beyond topics directly related to war or political conflict.

For example, research on economic development, early childhood development, education, climate change, public health, agriculture, or other areas that could significantly improve people's lives and Myanmar's long-term future.

What do you think are the most important research gaps in Myanmar right now? Are there any issues that are overlooked, lack reliable data, or need more evidence to help communities, organizations, or policymakers make better decisions?

I would especially appreciate recommendations for existing studies, reports, or research that could help me explore these topics further. Thank you!

I know you guys are not lawyers but I just wanted to know what your opinions might be on this situation. I, 17M have been falsely accused of being a “predator” and a “pedophile” by 15F. She directly messaged me on 23/8/2026 and started a conversation, hitting on me in the process. A friend of mine said that she, the 15F is her friend so I decided to follow her back. But after a few days of talking, she posted a picture of me on her social media account with my face and called me a pedophile. She was the one who reached out to me first and hit on me. I also clearly stated that I am not interested in her or have plans of getting together with her when she hit on me. I have all the evidence regarding this situation. I just don’t wanna make this situation bigger and ruin her life and be known for that for the rest of mine. But her sister and someone else have harassed me regarding this situation in my direct messages and threatened to spread it “publicly”. This morning 28/10/2026 at 10:32 am I saw that she had posted a story accusing me of being a predator. After I got news of it I instantly told her to take it down with proof that she was the one who instigated everything. She did but, this evening some unknown person texted me stuff, sexually harassing me. I do not want to make this into a defamation case but I do want her to stop messing with me. I will not be disclosing any personal information so please do not ask me for that. I know people can be emotional and do stupid things but if you accuse me of being a monster, a predator I will not sit back and just let you do that.

Ps.
You probably want to ask me “Well, why would you talk/keep talking to her in the first place?” Yes, that was my fault. But, she was opening up to me about her mental issues and one of them was anxiety. Since I also have anxiety, I felt bad for her and genuinely only talked to her to be a friend because of that.

There are alpine habitats in Myanmar,and the great >5000m peaks like Hkakabo Razi,and Ganglam Razi.

But why is mountaineering not popular here?

There were only 2 known ascents,only 1 successful on Mt. Hkakabo. It deserves more popularity like Matterhorn in the alps,etc.

I myself is enthusiastic about mountaineering,I dream of summiting our own nation and SEA's highest peak. But,I can never find the proper equipments in the country. There are no climbing courses,(except for the rock climbing gym in Yangon,and Waterfall hill in mdy as far as I know),no shops selling ice axes or crampons(since there's no ice in the mainland)no easy routes to the base camp, the dream is made more impossible with the current conflicts. The closest I can find on the internet is Hiking expeditions to lesser peaks like Phone kan Razi,Madew Razi,and spoken info from my kachinese friend who has been to the base camp by a heli ride.

How should I start chasing this dream?

Should I just first aim for more accessible peaks in the Himalayas before coming back?

I want to know if any of my fellow Burmese people are doing Ausbildung in fields other than nursing, sales, chef or hospitality. I want to do my Ausbildung but I've only seen people do it in these fields and I am not interested in them. I'm interested in IT.

Does anyone know where I could get bees wax in Yangon?
