  • Premiere of ‘Aung Si Aung Maung’ wows audiences before nationwide release

THE premiere of the Myanmar feature film ‘Aung Si Aung Maung’, which is set to be screened across cinemas nationwide on 20 June, was held in the afternoon of 17 June at the President Cinema in Dagon Township, Yangon Region.
Speaking at the premiere, Director Khin Hlaing (Nyan Gyi Shin) said, “We filmed this movie near Tagondaing Village in Tatkon, Nay Pyi Taw. One memorable moment during the shooting was encountering flooding. We’ve done our best to make this film as good as possible. It’s a platonic love story – nothing overly dramatic. I’d just like to say: come and enjoy how the plot unfolds on the big screen.”
The screenplay of the film was adapted by K Seven from a story written by Seven Day, and the film was co-directed by Khin Hlaing (Nyan Gyi Shin) and Moe Moe under Kinsana Film Production.
The cast includes Academy Award winners Nay Toe and Tekkatho Gon Pon, along with Phyo Ngwe Soe, Tyron, Phyo Lay, Khin Hlaing, Min Hein, Naw Phaw Elhtar, Nay Chi Shunlet, Sin Ma, Si Si, Super Lin, and many others. — ASH/KNN

60 golden deer conserved at Mann Shwesettaw Sanctuary
At the Mann Shwesettaw Wildlife Sanctuary, 60 golden deer, native and rare species, have been conserved, according to U Aye Ko, Mann Shwesettaw’s trustee board chair.Formerly, the sanctuary began with five male deer and seven female deer and new fawns were born again about four months ago. “There were 52 deer formerly, and now new fawns increase — four males and four females, and they are already listed in,” he said.The sanctuary feeds them watercress, water hyacinth and supplements and visitors are invited to watch deer. A golden deer camp was initially planned to be set up, though it has been delayed for some reason. — Htet Oo Maung/ZShttps://www.gnlm.com.mm/

Restoration planned for Sri Kshetra religious sites with original architecture intact
Religious buildings in the Sri Ksetra Cultural Zone, a World Heritage Site in Pyay Township, Bago Region, will be renovated while preserving their original features, according to U Tun Tun Aye, head of the Department of Archaeology and National Museum (Sri Ksetra Branch).Cracks appeared in the Bawbawgyi Pagoda and the Lemyethna Pagoda within the zone due to the Mandalay earthquake on 28 March, and the damaged areas will reportedly be repaired without compromising the original structures.“When the Mandalay earthquake struck, the Sri Ksetra Cultural Zone was also affected. Most of the pagodas here were not very tall and therefore did not sustain serious damage. However, the slightly taller Bawbawgyi Pagoda and the Lemyethna Temple were damaged, as their structures were already weakened. Since they have been damaged, we must take the time to restore them while preserving their originality,” said U Tun Tun Aye.The Bawbawgyi Pagoda is one of the oldest structures in the ancient Pyu city of Sri Ksetra, while the Lemyethna Temple is another notable example of Pyu architecture. Built around the 6th–7th century AD, the Bawbawgyi Pagoda stands 46.634 metres high and has a circumference of 64.8 metres. Its design features a five-tiered platform topped by a long, cylindrical brick structure. The pagoda is said to resemble the Dhamek Stupa in Sarnath, India, a memorial site where the Buddha delivered the Anattalakkhana Sutta, also known as the Discourse on the Characteristic of Non-self.Similarly, the Lemyethna Temple is the only cave pagoda found in the ancient city of Sri Ksetra. This small, square structure features four arches and entrances and is estimated to have been built during the late Pyu period, between the 7th and 9th centuries. The Lemyethna Temple is a significant monument that illustrates the development of cave pagodas in Pyu Buddhist architecture.Three ancient Pyu cities in Myanmar — Beikthano, Halin, and Sri Ksetra — were designated as World Heritage Sites in June 2014. — ASH/THSource: The Global New Light of Myanmar

New Zealand approves medicinal use of ‘magic mushrooms’
New Zealand approves medicinal use of ‘magic mushrooms’
NEW Zealand on Wednesday approved the medicinal use of psilocybin, a hallucinogenic compound notably found in socalled “magic mushrooms”.Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour said rules had been relaxed so psilocybin could be used to treat certain types of depression. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound found in some species of mushroom and can cause hallucinations and an altered state of mind.“Psilocybin remains an unapproved medicine, but a highly experienced psychiatrist has been granted authority to prescribe it to patients with treatment-resistant depression,” Seymour said.“This is huge for people with depression who’ve tried everything else and are still suffering. “If a doctor believes psilocybin can help, they should have the tools to try.” There will be tight rules for prescribing the drug.Only psychiatrists who have been involved in psilocybin clinical trials will be allowed to prescribe it, and they must strictly report its use and keep detailed records. — AFPSource: The Global New Light of Myanmar
