MAGWAY DIVISION – One of the organizers said that the residents of a village in the township of Yenangyaung organized a flower strike at 8:00 p.m. on June 18 to commemorate State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi’s birthday.
The flower strike was led by 15 activists, and the elders, middle-aged and children from the village held bouquets of flowers and raised three fingers in salute then wore roses.
“Because it’s Amay’s (endearing term for the State Counselor meaning mom) birthday, to make it memorable, we expressed our wishes with three fingers salute, that we are always with Amay,” said a woman who led the strike.
The strike forces have also called on the people across the country to hold a flower strike on the 78th birthday of the State Counselor which falls on June 19.
