THE Myanmar Government is giving serious priority, as a matter of national responsibility, to combatting online scams and gambling activities that pose threats worldwide. In order to prevent such operations from taking root within Myanmar, the authorities are actively cooperating not only with domestic organizations but also with neighbouring governments through coordinated efforts.
Combined
security teams have been carrying out area security operations, searches and
inspections in relevant areas to ensure that individuals involved in online
scam and gambling activities are not based there and that such activities are
not being conducted. During operations conducted yesterday evening, security
forces searched a house in Swansaw Word, Muse, Shan State (North), where they
arrested 38 suspects involved in online scam and gambling activities — four
Chinese nationals, 25 Myanmar men and nine Myanmar women — together with 155
assorted mobile phones, 30 all-in-one computers, Chinese Yuan 10,000, Myanmar
currency K1 million and two Crown vehicles.
Security
teams continued their security operations and later arrested an additional four
Myanmar male suspects involved in online scam and gambling activities at a
house from the same ward together with 95 mobile phones and two wifi routers.
After the
necessary investigations are completed, those arrested for involvement in
online scams and gambling activities will face effective and severe action in
accordance with existing laws. The seized operational equipment will also be
dealt with in line with established procedures.
The report
added that the State will continue actively cooperating with neighbouring
countries, regional nations and international organizations in efforts to
eradicate online scam and gambling activities and prevent such operations from
being established within Myanmar.
