In another pageant, another representative from Myanmar, during the Miss Grand International 2020 swimwear competition suffered from a wardrobe malfunction. The wardrobe gaffe lasted for many seconds, which many saw because it was streamed live internationally. The candidate was wearing a two-piece emerald green swimwear, with the right side attached to the body with a fashionable strap. However, it appeared that the left portion of the swimwear was kind of loose and it did not fit the part perfectly.

A number of policemen in Myanmar stood their ground and refused their officers' orders to kill unarmed and peaceful demonstrators. Six fled to India after they did not obey the "shoot till they're dead" orders. One of the policemen who gave a statement to Reuters said that he was holding a submachine gun when he was ordered to shoot. He said that in such a scenario, he would not be able to shoot at their own people.
