Contested deletion

[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an attack or a negative unsourced biography of a living person, because...

  • This article is not an attack page. Nothing in the body I wrote is inconsistent with any scholarly works or news sources (the only portion that could be misconstrued is clearly sourced with a notable news source, cited in multiple papers). My edits: [1].
  • Reference to his father's drug connections is not mere speculation. This is documented endlessly in Burma studies sources and important to understand the Economy of Burma In fact, Tun Myint Naing has been specially sanctioned by the US government (source [2]) for his drug connections. In fact, his father is called the "Godfather of Heroin" by the US Department of the Treasury:
"In addition to their support for the Burmese regime, Steven Law and Lo Hsing Han have a history of involvement in illicit activities. Lo Hsing Han, known as the "Godfather of Heroin," has been one of the world's key heroin traffickers dating back to the early 1970s. Steven Law joined his father's drug empire in the 1990s and has since become one of the wealthiest individuals in Burma."
    1. "Lo Hsing Han's son, U Tun Myint Naing (a.k.a. Steven Law) and Managing Director of Asia World Company, was refused entry to the US in 1996 on suspicion of drug trafficking." [3]
    2. "Steven Law, against whom the U.S. government has maintained financial sanctions since February 2008, allegedly provides material support to the Burmese junta, receives business concessions from the junta, facilitates the movement of illicit narcotics, and launders drug profits through his firms, including Asia World Company Ltd.." [4]
    3. "Steven Law joined his father’s drug empire in the 1990s and has since become one of the wealthiest individuals in Burma." [5]
    4. "Asia World is an especially notorious firm that is regarded by the US Treasury (amongst others) as one of the world’s ‘key heroin traffickers’." [6]
