Meanwhile, in a separate development, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the leader of the military council, has awarded first-class technology excellence awards to Colonel Myat Min Oo, who had previously played a crucial role in fabricating claims of electoral fraud in the 2020 general elections.

The recognition of Colonel Myat Min Oo’s role in spreading disinformation about election irregularities further demonstrates the calculated nature of the military’s actions leading up to their seizure of power.
