Bangkok: As a girl, Thuzar Wint Lwin would watch the Miss Universe pageant and wish that she could be the one onstage representing her country, Myanmar. She entered her first two contests last year, nervous and excited about what to expect. But she ultimately walked away crowned Miss Universe Myanmar and this week is competing at the global pageant in Florida.
But now representing her country has new meaning. With the military seizing power in a February 1 coup and killing hundreds of protesters, she hopes to use her platform to call attention to Myanmarâs pro-democracy movement and to appeal for international help in freeing elected leaders who have been detained.

A number of tenants of a high-end office block in Myanmar that the United Nations said is built on military-owned land have moved out or are reviewing their leases, including McKinsey, Coca-Cola and Reuters, the companies said.
Activist group Justice for Myanmar last month called on commercial tenants of the Sule Square complex of offices and shops in the heart of Myanmar’s commercial hub of Yangon to stop indirectly supporting the army.
