Thailand will cut off electricity, internet access and oil supplies to some areas in Myanmar suspected to house cyber scam operations, widening a crackdown after a high-profile trafficking of a Chinese actor put a spotlight on criminal activities across the Thai borders.
The National Security Council decided to halt power supply to five areas in Myanmar including Myawaddy and Tachileik from 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Defense Minister Phumtham Wechayachai told reporters in Bangkok. The Foreign Ministry will notify Myanmar’s military government and other agencies to allow hospitals to make preparations ahead of the suspension, he said.
