Amyotha committee takes aim at resource extraction
With Myanmar’s deadly jade industry increasingly under international scrutiny after hundreds of scavengers were buried in landslides, the Amyotha Hluttaw is taking the infamously unregulated extractive industries sector to task.
The illegal plundering of natural resources will be put to an end, according to National League for Democracy MP from Kayin U Saw Moe Myint, who is also a member of the Amyotha’s natural resources and environmental conservation committee.
