Representatives from firms owned by Tay Za present military officials with a check for 70 Million Kyat during a recent ceremony in Burma's capital. |
Senior representatives from
Air Bagan and Asia Green Development Bank Limited handed military officials a
giant ceremonial check at a ceremony in Naypyidaw earlier this year. Tay Za who
also owns Htoo Trading has extensive business interests in both Kachin State's
jade and timber industries.
Leaked US diplomatic cables
suggest Tay Za has profited from facilitating weapon's deals with Burma's army. “Rumors abound that Tay Za has long smuggled
Chinese weapons into Burma via his aviation and trading businesses,” wrote
Rangoon-based US diplomats in a June 2009 cable.
