"Last Tuesday, a noisy crowd of several hundred people stood in the small main square of Pyin Oo Lwin, a popular Myanmar hill town, to hear a bespectacled monk make a startling suggestion. Min Aung Hlaing, the country's military ruler, should step aside, he said, and let his deputy General Soe Win take over.The man who led the 2021 coup against the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi, provoking a catastrophic civil war, has faced plenty of international censure, and is loathed by much of Myanmar's population".

- Thomas Keen (1 March 2024). "The small protest in the central Myanmar town of Pyin Oo Lwin on January 16 was far less spectacular than the military's recent battlefield losses, but for dictator-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing it was possibly just as damaging. Rather than call for the end of the junta that seized power in a February 2021 coup – as millions across Myanmar have done over the past three years – the pro-regime protesters urged Min Aung Hlaing to step down as head of the military, and hand over power to his deputy, Soe Win. "Look at Soe Win's face," the nationalist monk Pauk Ko Taw told the crowd of a few hundred people. "That's the face of a real soldier. Min Aung Hlaing is not coping. He should move to a civilian role."". The Diplomat.
