Illegal buildings utilized for online gambling in Shwe Kokko demolished

 

The Government has prioritized efforts to combat online fraud and online gambling as a national duty, working not only with domestic forces but also with the governments of neighbouring countries to conduct effective inspections and crackdowns to prevent such syndicates from gaining a foothold in the country.

As part of these operations, 635 illegal buildings used for online gambling in the KK Park area have been divided into three sections, while 77 of the 140 illegal buildings used for online gambling in the Shwe Kokko area were systematically demolished during Phase I.

In Phase II, the remaining 63 buildings will be demolished as follows: 25 by machinery, four by blasting and 34 floor by floor by workers in residential areas. The demolition work has been carried out systematically since 6 October.

As the demolition continues, one five-storey building designated for demolition by machinery has been demolished, bringing the overall demolition progress to 65 per cent. In addition, one six-storey building was systematically demolished yesterday.

The Government has taken the elimination of online gambling and fraud as a national responsibility and is working in coordination with local forces and relevant authorities in neighbouring countries to eradicate such activities in Myanmar. It will continue to demolish the remaining buildings as soon as possible.
