Sources told MoeMaKa that Burmese junta was planning their Naypyidaw-Thingyan to outdo other city and town in Burma so that Burmese city council and municipals officials had to play low celebrating their water festival. Burmese businesses and community groups were on their own building water throwing stages and shows packed with participants and onlookers. Some told that most crowded water throwing stages were around “Inyar Lake” suburban of Rangoon.
