BKK POST: January 25, 1998: BURMA

              Corrupt general's
              daughter flees

              The daughter of Lt-Gen Tun Kyi, allegedly one of the most
              corrupt generals in Burma, has fled the country.

              Kyi Kyi Than and her husband Khin Maung Zaw arrived in
              Ranong on January 20, accompanied by two of their children.

              The family is reported to be in Bangkok today and are thought to
              be heading for Singapore.

              Lt-Gen Tun Kyi, one of four prominent ministers dealing with
              financial matters, was sidelined by the then State Law and Order
              Restoration Council (now known as the State Peace and
              Development Council). The former trade and commerce minister
              is presently under detention.

              Kyi Kyi Than is supposed to have close business and
              government connections in Singapore, specifically with
              Singapore Premier Goh Chok Tong.
