Major Aye Tun (aka Tun Min Naing), a senior Arakan Army (AA) leader, warned through his social media posts
to boycott military council products
and not to buy homes from the Shwe Yati beach project in Gwa township of Rakhine State. He posted it
on 17 May in his Facebook
space.
The houses for sale in the Shwe Yati beach project were confiscated during the tenure of the SLORC, SPDC
and later semi-democratic regimes looted
the land. They also tried to sell the land area as they were about to withdraw from Rakhine due to
the socio-political
instabilities.
The AA leader, who is also brother of AA commander-in-chief General Tun Myat Naing, asserted that the ULA / AA has a
responsibility to investigate the matter
and return the land area to the Arakanese people who are the real owners.
Mentionable is that Shwe Yati beach new town project with zone A alone covers 14 acres and zone C does
over 30 acres of land.
The new city project is projected to include a hotel,
swimming pool, gymnasium, library,
restaurant as well as other recreational facilities. The plots will be sold ranging from kyat 260 to
1,600 lakh.
"Do not forget that the land belonged to the Rakhine people and the land was illegally confiscated by the
military authority,” said his post
adding that large tracts of the land along the Rakhine coast were bought by the authority and these
lands are being sold in bulk.
“Burmese people should be politically enlightened. Now that the ULA / AA remains in power in Rakhine State,
the cronies are selling their plots
of land for fear of losing their influences. Burmese people should not buy those. We do not want
you to lose your money,” said the
post.
Major Aye Tun urged the Rakhine people not to use any product made by the military-owned company. He argued that the military
council was disrupting the flow of
essential items to Rakhine State and finally
causing the Rakhine people to starve.
“The Rakhine people have a responsibility not to use Military company products. We have the responsibility to retaliate
against the military authority which
has been plotting conspiracies against our people. So do not use Mytel, military products including
alcohol, beer, etc,” said the leader
in social media space.
