Mon armed group seeks talks with prospective investors
Nai Win Hla, an executive committee member of the New Mon State Party, said Mawlamyine Cement Limited inked a deal with the Mon State government in Myanmar to build a cement factory, and then built a coal-fired power plant inside the compound without local residents’ knowledge. It was only after the factory and power plant were up and running that locals realized the existence of the coal-fired power plant, a revelation that was upsetting to many who had learned of the negative environmental impacts of coal-fired power plants.
