Many people poured into the streets of Yangon to show support for General Min Aung Hlaing, but many people were angry when Ms. Suu Kyi was arrested.

Lines of supporters of Myanmar army commander Min Aung Hlaing today poured into the central street of Yangon, the country's largest city.

"Today is the day when the people are happy," one monk told a crowd of military supporters.

However, many people in the same city expressed anxiety, anger and boredom.

"We have a legitimate election. The people vote for the people they support. Now we are not protected by the law, all feel insecure and fearful," said Theinny Oo, development advisor.

Information about the military's arrest of Ms. Suu Kyi was published in the media in the context of shutdown of Internet and mobile connections throughout Myanmar.

The markets are packed with people looking to buy basic necessities for storage.

There was no sign of anti-military protests in Yangon or the capital Naypyidaw, despite the NLD's Facebook account that said Suu Kyi urged people "not to accept the coup" and took to the streets to protest.

Ms. Suu Kyi was praised by the people of Myanmar and the world as a symbol of freedom when she stood up against the military government despite being under 15 years of imprisonment.

The victory of her NLD party in 2015 has brought hope to change the country.

However, in recent years Suu Kyi's international reputation has been affected by allegations of ethnic conflict with Myanmar's Muslim Rohingya community.

The NLD won with 346 out of 412 parliamentary seats.
