Junta Officer Promoted for Molesting Women

Junta Officer Promoted for Molesting Women

A notorious SPDC officer was recently promoted and transferred from a small backward town to a flourishing one despite his known offenses, reported SHAN source from the north.

Captain An Maw, formerly Chairman of the Namkham Township Law and Order Committee (later Namkham Township Peace and Development Committee), 1995 - 99, an officer notorious for his penchant for pretty women, was, to the surprise of the people, promoted to major and moved to Muse, the booming border town opposite Ruili (Mongmao in Shan) of Yunan Province, China. His former office was taken over on 12 July by Capt Tin Win from Taungyan. He is widely known as a lecherous man who used to force his will on unwilling local Shan women.

Nobody dared to challenge his power until mid 1998, when he molested a relative of the local militia chief.

"The girl was an ethnic Chinese, lived in Pansay Village, Moengwi Tract in Namkham Township", said the source. "She was already engaged but the captain forced her to sleep with him anyway, only to find out later that she was related to U Kyaw Myint, the powerful local militia leader".

The complaint went up to the Northeastern Command. "The result of which was compensation by offering certificates of ownership to some lands, worth millions. They were later discovered to be fakes and everyone thought the captain was finished".

The people could not believe what they heard, the source added, until they were told later that the major's mother used to be General Khin Nyunt's respected school teacher.
