Aung Pyae Sone is a Burmese business tycoon who owns a number of major companies, including Sky One Construction Company and Aung Myint Mo Min Insurance Company.[1] He is also reportedly the biggest shareholder in national telecoms carrier Mytel.[1] He is the son of Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the current leader of Myanmar, concurrently serving as Chairman of the State Administrative Council and Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Armed Forces.
In 2013, Aung Pyae Sone won a no-bid government permit well below market rates, for a 30 year lease on land at the Yangon People's Park for a high-end restaurant and art gallery, following his father's promotion to Commander-in-Chief.[2] Aung Pyae Sone also runs A&M Mahar, which offers Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals and customs clearance services for drugs and medical devices.[3][4] Myanmar's customs department is led by Kyaw Htin, a former MEHL director.[4]
Aung Pyae Sone was awarded an artificially low land lease from the Yangon Regional government and serves alcohol in breach of a Yangon City Development Committee prohibition. He also owns the Kan Tharyar Hospital and Azura Beach Resort, which promotes itself as the largest resort in Chaungtha.[5][6][7]
In 2019, UN fact-finding missions calls for action against companies owned by Aung Pyae Sone.[1]
On 10 March 2021, the U.S. government has sanctioned Aung Pyae Sone and his younger sister Khin Thiri Thet Mon.[8][9][10][11]
