237 scam hub buildings demolished in KK Park, 51 illegal foreign entrants detained in Shwe Kokko

The government continues to conduct joint operations in the Shwe Kokko area and the KK Park area, where suspects commit telecom fraud and online gambling activities. The combined teams comprising security personnel and administrative bodies are involved in these operations, which include entering the areas, dismantling and removing illegal buildings, and taking further action in accordance with the law.

In wiping off telecom fraud and online gambling activities, buildings used in carrying out online gambling and fraud are being demolished in three sections in the Myawady-Maethawtalay (KK Park) area. The authorities seized 100 computers, and nine illegal buildings were destroyed yesterday. A total of 237 buildings out of 635 illegal buildings have so far been demolished in the Section 3 area.

Similarly, authorities searched one 12-storey building, 16 three-storey buildings, 12 two-storey buildings and two one-storey buildings yesterday, but it was found that no one was involved in the telecom fraud and online gambling. Authorities also did not find computers, mobile phones or accessories there.

To date, the authorities have detained 1,847 undocumented foreign entrants and seized 3,098 computers, 21,750 mobile phones, 102 Starlink satellite receivers and 22 Routers used in telecom fraud and online gambling activities. Authorities systematically destroyed the seized materials and continue the operation to expose the offences.

The arrested foreign nationals are being detained at the building in the Lonhtin compound of Shwe Kokko Myaing Village, Pulwepu Village-tract in Myawady Township. Yesterday, the Illegal Foreigner Investigation Team verified 200 foreign nationals. The authorities deported 51 undocumented entrants to their respective countries yesterday and conducted personal information and data collection processes.

From 30 January to 25 November 2025, a total of 12,687 foreign nationals who had entered Myanmar illegally were detained. Of these, 12,343 individuals were screened to be expelled, and 10,029 were systematically repatriated to their respective countries through Thailand in accordance with legal procedures. The remaining 2,658 foreign nationals are now ready to be transferred to their respective countries, and they are being properly held and cared for during this process.

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.
