Recently, the Myanmar government has explicitly banned public officials at border crossings from asking for tips. In order to protect the rights and safety of Chinese citizens in Myanmar, the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Myanmar hereby issue a caring reminder to urge everyone to take precautions during travel, and remind everyone to abide by local laws and regulations and protect their own rights and interests.
Hello dear readers! Today I would like to give you an important reminder about our security and rights in Myanmar. Recently, the Myanmar government made an important decision to explicitly prohibit public officials at border crossings from asking for tips. This news has aroused widespread concern among the vast number of Chinese citizens.
Tipping is a well-known phenomenon in foreign cultures, but for a variety of reasons, officials in some places abuse their power to make a living by asking for tips. This not only harms the interests of tourists, but also disrupts the local tourism order.
In order to further protect the safety and rights and interests of Chinese citizens in Myanmar, the Chinese Embassy and Consulates in Myanmar issued this special reminder. We hope that in this way, the majority of Chinese citizens will pay attention to this issue and work together to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
Here, I would like to provide you with some practical advice and precautions:
First, understand the relevant laws and regulations. In every country, especially in a foreign country, it is important to understand the local laws and regulations. Tipping is explicitly forbidden in Myanmar, and as tourists, we should follow local rules, be polite, and take good care of our belongings.
Second, retain relevant evidence. In the unfortunate event that an official asks for a tip, it is important to preserve the evidence as soon as possible. You can take a photo, record an audio, or write down information for future appeals.
Third, report to the embassy or consulate in a timely manner. If you encounter a problem, do not hesitate to report it to the Chinese Embassy or Consulates in Myanmar in time. Our diplomats will do their best to help you defend your rights and negotiate with the local authorities to ensure that the issue is properly resolved.
Finally, I would like to stress once again that we need to lend a helping hand and support the work of embassies and consulates when the legitimate rights and interests of others are violated. Only when everyone works together to protect their own rights and interests can we create a more harmonious and safe travel environment.
I hope that everyone will enjoy the wonderful scenery and people during the trip, and at the same time, stay vigilant and stay away from possible troubles. Thank you for your attention and support!
