AUTHORITIES have sys­tematically demolished another illegal six-storey building used for online scam and gambling activi­ties in Phase II of the Shwe Kokko area.

The Government has treated the fight against online scams and online gambling as a national responsibility. To prevent such activities from resum­ing in illegal buildings in Shwe Kokko, where they were previously wide­spread, authorities have been systematically demol­ishing these structures.

Of the 63 remaining illegal buildings in Phase II of the Shwe Kokko area designated for demolition because they were used for online scam and gam­bling activities, four were earmarked for demolition by controlled explosions. One of these six-storey buildings was demolished using explosives today. The remaining buildings will also be systematically demolished, according to reports.

The 63 buildings des­ignated for demolition in Phase II have been classi­fied according to the meth­ods to be used. Of these, 25 are to be demolished using machinery, four by controlled explosions, and 34, located close to residen­tial homes, are to be dis­mantled floor by floor by workers to avoid damaging nearby houses.

The building demol­ished yesterday was an­other six-storey structure among those designated for demolition by con­trolled explosions.

The Government is placing particular em­phasis on working with neighbouring countries and regional partners to eradicate online scams and gambling activi­ties, which pose growing threats to global socioeco­nomic affairs and national security, according to re­ports.
