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 authorities demolished one four-storey building, one three-storey building and eight two-storey buildings, totalling ten buildings in Area 3, and a total updated number of 351 buildings out of 635 illegal buildings have been demolished in the KK Park area. To prevent future reuse of the materials in online scams and gambling activities in KK Park and Shwe Kokko areas, the seized materials were incinerated systematically.
Similarly, the officials deported 123 illegal foreign entrants from six countries to their respective countries through the Myanmar-Thailand Friendship Bridge II.
The combined team started searching operations in Myawady and its vicinity area starting 8 December, and found 10 illegal buildings used for online gambling out of 121buildings and seized 708 computers used in online gambling to date.
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/KTZH
