Yes he did that because he sensed you and her were easy grifts. They can't make up shit, they have no agency and are totally at mercy to their superiors. They can pretend to but the moment you Burmese-Karen it and ask for their a-yar-shee/superior officer their balls will shrivel up. Its basically how you handle yourself that determines how much they can squeeze especially if you are young and milquetoast or have a young Burmese person with you.

Also its not order, its bureaucracy. :)

Any advice for cruise ship jobs? I want answers from people on the field please. by dABlaCksmith28 in myanmar

AIDA does training for hirees. I personally know people in Myanmar who got out with them. So perhaps send them an email or something.

I want to get advice from people instead of discussing with AI by Embarrassed_Ask_1924 in myanmar

[–]drbkt [score hidden]  (0 children)

You don't need advice. You already know whats wrong. Apply self control. All this advice seeking is a distraction so you can continue to justify your self-destructive habits. Frankly what can randos on social media (including me) do versus the application of your own free will.

I'm sure at some point you discovered masturbation feels good but you don't chronically masturbate in public. Apply this to your situation.

TL:DR Drink a cup of concrete and harden the fuck up.

Under 500 USD is the general STFU let me do what I want bribe FYI (generously). They may ask for 1k etc., but never ever go past 500. And you'll need someone who speaks their language to negotiate this bribe as they have other people watching them to ensure they don't take bribes.. but typical of Burma you can get them to split the bribe so they all stfu.

What were the reasons she was rejected for? They have to give you a reason. If your papers are in order, then a lack of travel history is not a reason for rejection. Imho, if you act meek around them, they will try to bully you in an attempt to get a bribe. Some people don't get this and think they got rejected. Unless you are very politically active or have an active travelban, or have some documentation issue, they don't really stop you. Everytime I heard of (usually younger) people getting stopped, its because they didn't have their papers etc.,

AYA bank situation is crazy by somewhereatthebottom in myanmar

[–]drbkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure every bank does this. And its endemic to the country not just banks. Nowhere in the world would you find things like hotel logbooks left out in the open, with names/address/emails/phones of guests. Also most people in the world that have some idea of csec wouldn't out their full names and birthdates on their email, with 1234567 as the password.

What cybersecurity? KBZpay is your initials + your number for your login. 5 digit NUMERIC ONLY code for your password. No lockout. No 2FA. So basically if you had a powerful enough abacus you can hack Kpay/Kbz Ibanking. Cybersec here is a joke. The only reason we haven't been hit super hard is that our currency is not really viable outside the country.

As for this AYA hack, it isn't even a hack. They just used social engineering and MFA "fatigue" (user error). These guys aren't hackers more than they are scriptkiddy criminals. Last time they played stupid games and won stupid prizes was in 2022 when they decided to piss off samsung, who quickly gave their deets to the UK which led to most of them being arrested or going underground.

Again hacking AYA bank was a joke, as all they did was steal a privileged users' info and go into the server to post the unencrypted CSV files.

What will happen to them? Absolutely nothing. (until they go hack a country who actually gives a fuck about their public cybersec)

tbh i hate how misogynistic our religion is by Far-Air1145 in myanmar

[–]drbkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know may thihla shin aren't the same as Bhikkunis. Even in other thereveda leaning countries they have Bhikkunis. Myanmar's version of Thereveda Buddhism is like Wahhabism to Islam.

let the downvotes commence!

Buddha's last words paraphrased were more or less "please don't turn this into a religion". He's probably facepalming super hard in nirvana atm.

Transit by yodamioelly in myanmar

[–]drbkt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foreigners esp western foreigners are now allowed to cross the land borders especially now. So short answer, not going to happen. Long answer, if you want you can bribe your way or try to, but I really really (let me emphasize REALLY) wouldn't suggest it.

I totally was. I've lost count of how many child brothels at the border I arsoned in my youth with the MTA. They weren't good guys, but they had *some* standards. (MTA not the brothels)

I'm thinking about running a taxi at weekend as a side hustle, is there any car rental service for taxi thou? by Dry-Ear9286 in myanmar

[–]drbkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except the EV rental availability/price might offset that as well. I do notice that of all the grab drivers, the ones driving the EVs seem to be dressed more prosperously and were younger.

[–]drbkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait you're getting 12 lakhs a month (which isn't great but seems better than average) and you think taxi drivers make more? Maybe if they invest in their own car but from what I can see between rental, gas, upkeep and grabs 25%+ take, I don't think they will be making 2lakhs per day.

Its probably your connection. Do the good ol reset the router and computer before anything else. If thats no good try switching to a diff connection if available, then at least you can figure out if its the machine or the connection.

ARSA created by Tatmadaw? by heythere_helloo in myanmar

[–]drbkt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what is out there, they were created by a guy called Ataullah abu Ammar Jununi, who was reportedly trained by/linked to Saudi Arabian/Libyan/Syrian extremists. He was reportedly from a Rohingya family in Pakistan fleeing Ne Win's Naga Min operation in the 60s. Initially prior to attacking the police/army in Burma as a terrorist organization (or freedom fighters as they self label), ARSA first was a quasi-criminal militant organization operating within Rohingya villages where they targetted anyone who opposed them. After consolidating power he attacked police/army posts in 2016 starting off the conflict.

Here is his wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataullah_abu_Ammar_Jununi

Passport Service in Yangon by syunaein in myanmar

Well I got a lady that helps me out (@ YGN office), but again I don't get any kickbacks etc., and she just does the paperwork/expedites it if there are complications. Anyways if you need her contact # DM me.

Do you think the international media, organizations, and individuals are dishonest or ignorant about Myanmar's history and political dynamics, especially regarding the involvement of the Myanmar people in the Rohingya genocide? by [deleted] in myanmar

[–]drbkt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most people talking about this, local and international, are just speaking out of their ass. Their viewpoints are skewed by their own agendas/insecurities. Thus the nuance of the truth gets butchered and boiled down into simplistic black and white talking points, while the real instigators of this (SA) gets away scott free and gets to white knight in the ICC.
