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. — MNA/KTZH
