SHAN STATE – The internal news source said that in the 823rd Army Supply and Transport Corps, Mong Hsat City, Deputy Warrant Officer Myo Zaw Sak, the deputy head of the office, beat up the recruits for no reason, and some of the soldiers became disabled.
Myo Zaw Sat has been committing the abuses in the army, and targeting the young recruits who have just arrived in the army.
The stated Deputy Warrant Officer insulted, berated and beat them up if recruits did not buy at the shop he opened in the army, but instead they went to other shops to buy. It was learned that the new recruits did not buy at his shop because he deducted money from their salary and gave them the rest of the money only.
Also, there are recruits who did not come to buy goods at his shop were beaten for revenge and they became incapacitated due to being beaten for no reason. There were some runaway new recruit soldiers because they cannot stand his torture. If they recapture, they were beaten also. He didn’t report the missing soldiers list to the upper level and he kept the pay of these soldiers.
“Because of the bully and abuse of Deputy Warrant Officer Myo Zaw Sat of the 823rd Army Corps of supply and transport in Mong Hsat City, there are many new recruits who do not want to stay. The worst thing is if they don’t shop at the store he opened, they will abuse him even more. He also threatened that if you shop at another store, he said that you will know about me. If someone goes shopping, he doesn’t know how much it will cost, but at the end of the month, he cuts everything from his salary as he likes. There are also those who are in trouble because he tortured and beat those who did not buy. If they catch the young recruits who run away, they beat them. The list of those who missed out is not presented to the above, and the salary is taken out by them. The two new recruits, Aye Thura and Thet Naing Oo, have been missing for a long time while running away, so we are worried because we don’t know if they are dead or not,” said a source in the army.
