Summary on 25 February
- Since the ages of monarchy, it has been claimed that a good ruler has white elephants. Throughout the military rule in Myanmar, such white elephants have appeared out of nowhere one after another. According to the junta propaganda, the same thing has happened in the administration of the junta leader Min Aung Hlaing after the coup. They have been playing a trick on the public that he is a good king, covering up his crimes of murder and arson.
