We have spoken. We have waited. Yet, a meaningful response is still missing.
Respecting cultural heritage should never be too much to ask. We deserve to be heard, and our heritage deserves to be acknowledged.
@GMMTV , silence is not a solution. We are still waiting for accountability.

Not every Burmese person knows how to perform the 𝐑𝐚𝐤𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐢𝐥-𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, and that is precisely why its cultural identity deserves recognition.
Myanmar is home to many ethnic groups, including the Rakhine, Bamar, Shan, Mon, Karen, Kachin, Chin, and others. Each has its own cultural traditions, artistic expressions, and heritage. Being part of the same country does not make every tradition common to every ethnic group.
The Rakhine traditional oil-lamp (Si-mee) dance, also known as Buddha Pujaniya, is a distinctive expression of Rakhine cultural heritage. Its devotional meaning is closely connected to Buddhism and offerings to the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha. The dancers move gracefully while balancing lamps on their palms, accompanied by devotional songs and traditional music.
The Rakhine oil-lamp dance is a distinctive form of Rakhine traditional performing art, associated with Buddhist devotional offerings. Its choreography, music, and cultural significance form part of Rakhine heritage and should not be treated as a generic traditional dance without acknowledging its origins.
When such a culturally specific performance appears in #ScarletHeartThailand, its historical and cultural origins warrant careful research. If Rakhine cultural elements have been incorporated into the series, their origins should be accurately identified and appropriately acknowledged.
We sincerely hope @GMMTV and the @ScarletHeartTH production team will address these concerns, provide proper credit for verified Myanmar cultural influences, and issue an official statement clarifying the historical references behind the relevant scenes.

Our concerns have now gained enough attention to appear on television, yet we are still waiting for a clear response from @GMMTV@ScarletHeartTH.
We hope this matter will not be neglected or dismissed. When questions about cultural heritage reach this level of public attention, we believe they deserve to be addressed with transparency, respect, and accountability.
We are asking for an official statement explaining the inspiration behind the costume designs, along with the historical references used by the production team. If there are no Myanmar cultural references involved, please provide clarification and supporting sources. If Myanmar heritage has influenced the designs, please give it the proper recognition it deserves.

Please don't misinterpret our concerns as an attempt to bring down Scarlet Heart Thailand. We, Myanmar People, are speaking up because we believe 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.
And here is Tay Tawan's Myanmar Fanbase that has been eagerly waiting for ages to see Tay portray a villainous character. We are just as excited to see him in this role. But as Myanmar people, we also have the right to speak up for our country's cultural heritage.
Please don't mistake our call for cultural recognition for hate towards the series, its cast, or its fans. We want to see the series succeed, but we also want our heritage to be respected.
Supporting our favourite artist and standing up for our cultural heritage are not mutually exclusive. Please understand our intentions.
And @GMMTV@ScarletHeartTH We won't stop until you provide a clear and proper explanation. YOU MUST OFFICIALLY CLARIFY THIS MATTER.
