549 online scam hub-related buildings demolished

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 11 more illegal buildings: one four-storey building and 10 two-storey buildings used in telecom fraud and online gambling activities in the Myawady-Maethawtalay (KK Park) area. Therefore, a total updated number of 549 buildings out of 635 illegal buildings have been demolished in the KK Park area.

To destroy the illegal buildings within the KK Park area, these buildings were demolished using machinery and explosive devices starting from 14 December, and as of today, five two-storey buildings have been destroyed. As of yesterday, five more two-storey buildings have been destroyed, and a total of 86 buildings have been totally destroyed. 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.

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.
