#RecognizeMyanmarCulturalHeritage
Even your so-called fictional imagination has directly copied Myanmar’s traditional clothing. If you claim that Lanna was once under Myanmar’s rule and that this is why certain cultural elements remain, then you must also acknowledge the historical origins of Myanmar’s traditional clothing. These cultural elements are part of Myanmar’s heritage. Do you understand?
You have also adopted and used Myanmar’s traditional thanaka, lahpet thoke (Myanmar tea leaf salad), and Ohn No Khao Swe (Myanmar coconut chicken noodle soup).
Historically, Lanna traditional clothing had different styles and did not always provide the same level of full-body coverage as Myanmar traditional attire. Yet now, your productions appear to be using designs that closely resemble Myanmar’s traditional clothing.
If you have taken inspiration from or copied Myanmar’s cultural heritage, you must have the honesty and responsibility to acknowledge its origins and give Myanmar proper credit.
Myanmar’s cultural heritage is not yours to claim as your own. Respect our culture, acknowledge its origins, and give credit where credit is due.
We demand respect and proper recognition for Myanmar’s traditional cultural heritage. 🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲
