Intended to raise funds for civil servants who are on strike to protest against the regime, the “Victorious Spring” lottery, named after Myanmar’s popular revolution against the junta that started in February, was introduced by the National Unity Government (NUG) on Sunday. Many government staff—at least hundreds if not thousands—have left their jobs in the wake of the coup in February to protest against military rule. The junta has retaliated against them by either jailing or sacking them, or issuing arrest warrants for them, prompting many to go into hiding. Their Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) has proven so impactful that the regime is still struggling to run the country properly. The NUG said 70 percent of the proceeds from the lottery would go to support the strikers, while the remainder would be kept by the winners. The NUG was formed by lawmakers from the ousted National League for Democracy government and other ethnic representatives in April and has enjoyed popular support at home and abroad. The move—the sale of lottery tickets by a shadow government to raise funds—is unprecedented in Myanmar’s history. So is the public support it has garnered. All 50,000 lottery tickets were sold out online in just over an hour after their launch on Sunday, earning the NUG 100 million kyats (about US$60,760). “Thank you very much for the eager support. We request that you please be patient as there are many people who want to play the lottery,” organizers said on the lottery’s Facebook page, soothing people who didn’t have a chance to buy a ticket. The lottery comes as the regime’s national lottery has been left almost shattered following the coup. In pre-coup days, it was hugely popular for its lucrative 1.5-billion-kyat first prize. However, it was reduced to one third that amount in March as the public boycotts payments of any kind to the government, including paying taxes and buying government lottery tickets. For most of the people playing the NUG lottery, gambling is the last thing they have in mind. Instead, they see it as a way to give as much financial support as they can to the Page 2 of 62 government they believe in. In other words, it means lending a helping hand to topple the regime. “I am just contributing what I can. I am not interested whether I win or not,” one supporter in Yangon said on condition of anonymity. He had good reason to remain anonymous; in the days before the lottery’s launch, the regime issued threats, via state-run newspapers, of legal action against anyone who participated. In an interview, U Nyi Nyi Hlaing, a director of the Aung Balay national lottery, called the NUG’s lottery “illegal” and said anyone involved—operators as well as players—could be punished. “As the payment is made online, the Central Bank would take serious action against those involved in financial transactions,” he said, referring to the country’s nascent digital payment system. Unsurprisingly, his warnings fell on deaf ears. On Monday, the second day, the NUG had to abruptly halt ticket sales as the system was overwhelmed, requesting people to hold their generosity a while as it needed to process more than 70,000 tickets sold as of that afternoon. https://www.irrawaddy.com/news/burma/myanmar-parallel-govts-online-lottery-sells-out- in-about-an-hour.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Five police officers shot dead in attack on Yangon train The unidentified gunmen took the officers’ weapons after the attack on the city’s circle line Myanmar Now | Published on Aug 15, 2021 One of the police officers who was shot on the Yangon circle line on Saturday evening (Facebook) A group of unidentified attackers shot and killed five police officers on the Yangon circle line on Saturday evening, a striking train worker told Myanmar Now. The gunmen rode the train and then launched the attack when it stopped at a station near Ahlone Township, the worker said on condition of anonymity, citing a railway police officer who is familiar with the case. “One of the policemen shot back at the gunmen,” he said, though he added that none of the attackers were killed or captured. “Passengers and other people on the train were safe as they were asked to get off before the shooting happened, I heard.” Page 3 of 62 Lance-corporal Win Zaw Latt and three privates died at the scene, he added. Two corporals, Myint Htay and Kyaw Zin, were sent to the 500-bed Defense Services Orthopaedic Hospital in Mingalardon Township, he added. Myint Htay later died at the hospital. Soldiers came to collect the bodies of the four police officers at the station and did not make any arrests, he said. No one has claimed responsibility for the killings. The officer who survived, Kyaw Zin, was asleep when the attack started. “He woke up when he heard voices and got shot in the chest,” the worker said. One of the privates who died was 20-year-old Ye Min Tun. A relative of his told Myanmar Now the family was still trying to retrieve his body. Photos of the policemen lying dead on the train went viral on Facebook on Saturday evening. The pro-military People Media news outlet reported the killers took four guns from the police officers. The junta has not commented officially on the attack and its spokesperson could not be reached for comment. The incident is the latest in a series of attacks by guerrilla fighters against junta targets. Local administrators, soldiers, police, and suspected military informants have been killed and injured across the country. https://www.myanmar-now.org/en/news/five-police-officers-shot-dead-in-attack-on- yangon-train ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More Than 40 Junta Troops Killed Across Myanmar By The Irrawaddy | 16 August 2021 More than 40 junta soldiers were reportedly killed and many others wounded by civilian resistance fighters in Sagaing Region and Chin and Shan states during the weekend.
