SINGAPORE: For the first time in her life, Singaporean Joyann Lim, 27, heard the sound of gunshots.
She had just had lunch in a teahouse near her office in Yangon last Tuesday (March 2) when a clash broke out in the same street between Myanmar security forces and protesters. I wasn t scared. In fact, I felt sad, but there is very little I can do to help, said the digital marketer, who has lived in Myanmar for four years.
She was ushered away by colleagues, but returned to the area after the crowd dispersed, to offer energy drinks to the local residents.
