Video of Myanmar teacher dancing to coup backdrop becomes viral sensation

PETALING JAYA: While the dramatic events unfolding in Myanmar eventually led to the announcement of a year-long state of emergency, one extraordinary video has surfaced and taken the Internet by storm.

Set against a dystopian backdrop of black armoured vehicles and tanks driving up to Myanmar’s Parliament building, the video features a spirited teacher’s energetic aerobics routine to the tune of Ampun Bang Jago, a song by Indonesian artistes Tian Storm and Ever Slkr, made popular by TikTok.
