SYSTEMATIC demolition of illegal buildings used for online scam and gambling activities continues in Phase II of the Shwe Kokko area.

The Government is working with neighbouring countries and regional partners to completely eradicate online scams and gambling activities, which threaten global socioeconomic affairs and national security. As part of these efforts, illegal buildings in the Shwe Kokko area, where such activities have been widely carried out, are being systematically demolished to prevent them from resuming at these sites.

According to reports, demolition work on a five-storey building in Phase II, one of the remaining structures used for online scam and gambling activities, had reached 90 per cent completion as of today, with heavy machinery being used. Demolition of another six-storey building had also reached 30 per cent completion. Of the 63 remaining buildings used for online scam and gambling activities in Phase II of the Shwe Kokko area, 10 have already been systematically demolished. These comprise four buildings designated for demolition by controlled explosions and six designated for demolition using heavy machinery.

The remaining 53 illegal buildings will also be systematically demolished, according to reports. — 100/KZL
