Foodpanda rider Ko Myo Myint Maung used to make a decent income that enabled him to support his family, which includes his wife, mother and younger brother, even when the COVID-19 pandemic badly affected Myanmar last year. But he has been out of the work for the last two and half months because of the junta’s mobile internet blackout that followed their Feb.1 coup.
Now Ko Myo Myint Maung cannot afford to buy the medicine his mother needs or supplements for his two-month old daughter.
