Voice of Myanmar: Han Lay in Bangkok. Reuters
KUALA LUMPUR: Miss Grand Myanmar Han Lay, who has become an international sensation for speaking up against the military junta, says her activism is just the beginning.
“I will continue to be the voice of the people of Myanmar as I consider this my responsibility.
“I will use the international platform as well as social media to reach out to the international community, ” she said.
The lanky beauty queen has already risked arrests for taking part in street protests since February before she left for Bangkok last month.
As a celebrity, her open defiance attracted a huge following and, unfortunately, the army as well.
