Ongoing demolition of scam hubs in Shwe Kokko Phase II crackdown

 

The government is placing particular emphasis on working with neighbouring and regional countries to crack down on online scams and online gambling, which threaten global socioeconomic affairs and national security, intending to eliminate these activities completely and permanently. In the Shwe Kokko area, where online scam and gambling operations were conducted on a large scale, illegal buildings are being systematically and permanently demolished to prevent such activities from resuming in these buildings.

As part of these efforts, one five-storey building among the remaining illegal buildings in Phase II of the Shwe Kokko area, which had been used for online scam and gambling operations, was being demolished using machinery yesterday, reaching 20 per cent completion. The demolition of another six-storey building reached 60 per cent completion as of yesterday.

Of the 63 buildings designated for demolition in Phase II of the Shwe Kokko area, four were demolished through controlled explosions and another seven using heavy machinery. The remaining 52 buildings will also be systematically demolished.

The government has been treating the fight against online scams and online gambling as a national duty.
