After a meeting of the military council, military leader Min Aung Hlaing instructed to enforce the law on unlicensed cars and motorcycles, which can cause a lot of tax revenue loss and security problems, unlicensed cars and motorcycles are being seized nationwide. Not only are they being seized on the streets, but shops selling cars and motorcycles are also being seized. The sudden seizure of unlicensed motorcycles and cars may be due to concerns about the dangers of urban guerrillas who attack on motorcycles. In 2022 and 2023, when urban guerrilla activity was strong, the military council issued orders that were not internationally recognized, such as not allowing two men to ride on the same motorcycle, and not allowing men to ride on a motorcycle driven by a woman. The motorcycle capital, Mandalay, is also under strict inspection. When inspected, both the motorcycle and the person are seized and ransomed.
In Nay Pyi Taw, unlicensed cars are used by military officers, administrators, Most of them are close to them. The people who sell unlicensed cars are also military officers from the military headquarters. They do not take them seriously and chase down vehicles on the road. In addition, if they suspect that parked cars are unlicensed, they even enter houses and seize them. Even if they do seize them, they can usually pay the fine. Everything Min Aung Hlaing says is like creating a job for the military dogs at the bottom.
