A woman holds a candle and a picture of leader Aung San Suu Kyi as Myanmar citizens protest in Bangkok on Saturday. "Myanmar labourers in other countries [have been] urged to come back to work in Myanmar, but the move has destroyed their dreams instead," Macho said. Another 35-year-old Myanmar worker, known as Min, said most Myanmar labourers hoped to save enough money before heading back to Myanmar to work. "My plan is to continue my studies, and I will try to help my country by being a good citizen." Although some Myanmar students may join rallies in Bangkok, most of his friends are too busy with their studies, he said.
