Guidelines on gifts issued for civil servants:
In an act viewed as targeting rampant corruption
in Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi has ordered all civil servants not to
accept any gift worth more than 25,000 kyats (US$21), an amount more
than 10 times lower than the threshold allowed by the previous
government.
Maldives mends fences with India:
Indicating a major reset in bilateral relations
is on the cards, Maldivian President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom
will visit New Delhi this week. Yameen will have a meeting cum
working lunch with Prime Minister Narendra Modi tomorrow (11). He
would also call on President Pranab Mukherjee.
Post Panama Papers:
The Panama Papers is a gift that just keeps on
giving to the international press. Breaking this week, history’s
biggest leak, from the offshore law firm Mossack Fonseca, has
provided scandal after scandal for the world’s media outlets to get
their teeth into.
