Myanmar youth activist and television host Thinzar Shun Lei Yi would once have called herself one of Aung San Suu Kyi's greatest fans. Now she is one of her most vocal critics.

The 27-year-old belongs to a small but high-profile group of liberal activists, many of them former die-hard Suu Kyi supporters, who are growing increasingly disillusioned with the administration they voted into power with sky-high hopes three years ago.

"I lost my idol. I'm confused, frustrated and lost," said Thinzar Shun Lei Yi, who hosts the "Under 30" talk show on a popular local website.
