Government imported immediately 5000 tons of diesel from Singapore

Yangon Jan 9

Myanmar military government, has been facing with targeted American sanction after last September ,imported nearly 5000 tons of diesel from Singapore immediately to move the military troops said the business man who is closely related with the juntas.
“These diesels were imported by local business for military use only. He also confirmed, it was general myint swe who gave that sort of special chance to business man, means that did not have to apply import license or either letter of credit from official."
it was imported by ship tanker from Singapore, one of the Aseain country which is standing like a moderator between Myanmar and US or either EU.
Since a crackdown on pro-democracy protests in September, in which at least 31 people were killed, the US and Europe have pushed for tighter international sanctions against Myanmar's ruling military junta.
Besides tightening their own trade embargoes, analysts suspect Washington in particular is also bringing quiet pressure to bear on other smaller countries, such as Singapore, that do business with Myanmar.
Most Asian countries remain officially opposed to sanctions against the junta, arguing that pushing the generals even further into isolation would be counterproductive.
The price of the diesel is going up a little than last week in Yangon illegal market.
