Than Shwe's Cronies |
|
|
Wednesday, 17 October 2007 |
Interesting article that discusses the need to keep up pressure on Than Shwe's Cronies. From the article: One of the principal targets would be Tay Za, CEO of Htoo Trading Group and founder of Air Bagan, which recently launched services to Singapore and Thailand. The young tycoon in his early 40s is Burma’s wealthiest business man, thanks largely to his close friendship with the country’s top leaders, including Snr-Gen Than Shwe and Gen Thura Shwe Mann, number three man in the regime. Tay Za was recently in the hot seat, however. During the September demonstrations, he left Burma in a hurry to seek refuge elsewhere. News reports suggested that he left Burma on September 27. |
