During the Thingyan period, pictures of model Pai Ta-gkhon and singer G Fatt smiling happily at the military council’s pavilion in Nay Pyi Taw caused criticism among the public. Pai Ta-gkhon was arrested by the Military Council because he actively participated in the beginning of the revolution. At the time of his arrest, he was widely reported in the local media. Many people, including his fans, still sympathized with him in those days. Later, he was released with amnesty, and he resumed his artistic work. But he now joined the military council definitely. As for G Fatt, he fled to Thailand and surrendered under the military council because he could not stand with the hardships anymore in Thailand. If the person like him can’t suffer, there was nothing to say about the people fleeing the war on the borderline. In fact, both of them are Samsung’s brand ambassadors, and if they are not allowed to attend the Samsung event in Singapore, they joined the military council because they feared to lose their ambassadorial positions. As the artists, they did not choose the people, but chose their own interests. For this, the people will retaliate when the time is right.
