Police Search for Night Guard from BAJ After Office Fire

Maungdaw: The police are searching for the night guard from the office of Bridge Asia Japan, of BAJ, to arrest him after the office was recently gutted in a fire in Maungdaw in western Burma's Arakan State, after BAJ opened a case against him on charges of negligence.

The night guard was identified as Tun Khin Maung, 45 years old, who is a resident of Ward No. 4 in Maungdaw.

"The police are now searching to arrest him after the BAJ accused him of negligence and opened a case against him with the police for the office fire," one of Maung's relatives told Narinjara.

According to a BAJ official, they opened an office in a makeshift wood and bamboo building to facilitate the construction of Shwezar Bridge in Maungdaw in 2009. The office was gutted in a fire around 10:40 pm last Thursday, just a few days before the project was to be completed. All documents regarding the project were lost in the fire.

"Our night guard Tun Khin Maung is now at large, but the BAJ has put the value of loss at just one lakh kyat in the case so as to minimize legal punishment against him, though we lost the whole office including important documents regarding the project," said the official.

BAJ is a Japanese NGO that works on infrastructure and social welfare for returnees of Muslim refugees from Bangladesh. It as also been implementing a number of projects for the UNHCR in Maungdaw.

But even so, when a clip of a clinic's latest intriguing procedure was posted online, it quickly went viral. Thailand's health ministry has since issued a warning over the procedure. The BBC Thai service spoke to one patient who had undergone the treatment, who told them: "I wanted to feel more confident in my swimming briefs". The 30-year-old said his first session of several was two months ago, and he had since seen a definite change in the shade. 'What for?' The original Facebook post from the clinic offering the treatment, which uses lasers to break do...

If the application succeeds, Mrauk-U will be the third place in Myanmar to be inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, after the ancient cities of Bagan and Pyu. Mrauk-U is located in northern Rakhine State, around 60 km from the state capital of Sittwe. The ancient city was the seat of Arakanese kings from the 1400s until the late 1700s.
