I established my construction company in 2014, and it is still running today. Meanwhile, I donated and supported in cash to the respective cabinet members of government for the good of my businesses. In 2017, one of my company staff introduced Daw Khin Khin Oo to me. She was working at Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s house. Around May 2018, I paid respect to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at her house through the help of Daw Khin Khin Oo. At that time, I gave a black envelope which includes USD100,000 to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for Daw Khin Kyi Foundation in front of the families of U Kyaut San and U Hla Myo. Also, in 2019, I gave a black envelope which includes USD150,000 to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself at her house. In February 2020 again, I gave USD50,000 to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi at her home. In April, I met with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and gave USD250,000 to her. There were no witnesses in those cases. According to his words, he gave a total of $550,000 to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Chair of NLD— $100,000 in May 2018, $150,000 in May 2019, $50,000 in February and $250,000 in April 2020. Therefore, it is found that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi committed corruptions according to the testimony of U Maung Waik. So the Anti-Corruption Commission starts its investigation to take action against her under Anti-Corruption Law. MNA Ref; The Global New Light of Myanmar
