Reports from Burma say soldiers in many areas are refusing to carry out routine tasks in protest at short rations and lack of access to their pay.
In a series of BBC interviews, soldiers in garrison towns have said their rations have been cut for weeks.
They say commanders have barred access to money they have saved, which is kept in a central fund.
Their action comes just over a month before Burma's first general election for 20 years.

Let us hope they do..
