THE government of Myanmar manages the combined team comprising security forces, administrative bodies and local authorities to raid illegal buildings in Shwe Kokko and KK Park areas, where telecom fraud and online gambling activities are operated, and systematically dismantle the confiscated materials and illegal buildings used in the online scams and gambling activities.
Yesterday, the combined team dissolved 26 more illegal buildings – five one-storey buildings, 15 two-storey buildings, four three-storey buildings, and two five-storey buildings used in telecom fraud and online gambling activities in the Myawady-Maethawtalay (KK Park) area. Therefore, a total updated number of 610 buildings out of 635 illegal buildings have been demolished in Section 2 of the KK Park area.
To destroy the illegal buildings within Section 3 of KK Park area, these buildings were demolished using machinery and fire barrels starting from 14 December, and as of yesterday, five more four-storey buildings have been destroyed, and a total of 106 buildings have been totally destroyed.
The government considers the eradication of telecom fraud and online gambling crimes as a national responsibility and, to ensure that such activities can no longer operate within Myanmar, will continue its efforts in coordination not only with domestic forces but also with the governments of neighbouring countries. — MNA/MKKS
