Enhancing anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) measures is critical in dismantling criminal networks and preventing transnational crimes. Targeting the illicit profits of illegal enterprises can diminish criminal activity and contribute to economic development, financial stability, and organizational integrity. Additionally, it supports the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.

FOR ease of reference, let’s continue to refer to these self-absorbed people in the Ivory Towers in Geneva and New York as SAPs. Alert to ASEAN countries, Russia, China, and developing third-world countries.

ALL countries, including Myanmar, must prioritize ending child labour as part of the 2024 mission: “Let’s act on our commitments: End Child Labour!” This initiative calls for global empathy and action to alleviate the suffering of children trapped in exploitative labour conditions.

I came to Dagon University as a freshman in 2002. Although a lapse of about twenty years has glided away, memories of my student life are still fresh. I feel as if some incidents occurred only yesterday.

CLIMATE change is a global phenomenon with widespread impacts on health. It exacerbates existing health inequities and presents new challenges to global health systems. The following are key areas where climate change affects global health: -

FOR the past century, Earth has faced substantial losses from a variety of natural disasters. Among these, climatic events have been particularly devastating, accounting for 44 per cent of damage over the past 20 years, followed by floods and storms, which contributed to 28 per cent of the destruction. While most natural disasters, except earthquakes, can be predicted, humans have struggled to mitigate their impacts effectively.

IN GRADE-9 English, on the old curriculum, we all learned that anyone can be a better scholar if he or she wants to. That is absolutely right. In my experience, many students will never become outstanding inside or outside class, not because they study very slowly but because they have no desire to be really outstanding at all. Even if they have high intelligence, they will have little chance of turning out to be excellent, especially if they do not have systematic study routines. How on earth are those routines? Please see below.

WORLD Environment Day 2024 focuses on land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience. In accord with the 2024 theme “Our Land. Our Future.

AS I have seen the news about brutal and inhumane terrorist murders of NUG and PDF groups, which are circulating on social media platforms these days, I wrote this open letter as a responsible citizen to inform those who are backing terrorists. Since 8 May 2024, a video file of terrorists killing each other circulating on social media platforms is a heart-wrenching sight for anyone who sees it. This video recording is a true story that happened in Gangaw Township, Magway Region. At the scene, four people tied their hands back and were interrogated and mercilessly killed. The murderers were the terrorist leader Sanay and his followers, who detained, interrogated and killed some of their own members who were killed in the pretext of running away after they had stolen valuable belongings gained in robber from the civilians. In the video, everyone can see that the victims were cut ears as well as body parts and beheaded. The act of violence seen in the video is unacceptable for any reason, and it is believed that the people doing those killings are inhumane and on drugs. As everyone who had watched these scenes would be heartbroken, I think nobody should abet such kind of cruel and brutal terrorists.
