Just like the dollar crisis, another thing we are facing domestically is the fuel crisis. The fuel crisis has been going on since the beginning of this month, so it has been more than two weeks now. At the beginning of this month, there was a fuel shortage in major cities, but now it has become bad even in Yangon. In the whole city of Yangon, there are only 15 petrol shops that can sell it. I had to wait in line all night at gas stations to get oil. Even if we wait like that, if the store opens in the morning, it is not certain that we will get oil. That’s why the lines of cars waiting in line to get fuel are miles long. At a gas station next to Inlya Lake, the line of cars is long enough for a full round at Inlya Lake. In the towns, the situation is even worse. Mandalay In addition to major cities such as Taunggyi, there is a shortage of fuel in Naypyitaw, where the military council is based.
This happened often before, but the situation is getting worse more than once. Time is getting longer. The reason is that the military council can no longer issue dollars to buy fuel. At a time when dollar prices are rising, gas stations can’t afford to buy bags. The situation will only get worse.
