Nearly four years after Justice For Myanmar exposed 33 Singapore registered companies as suppliers of weapons, dual use goods and technology to the Myanmar military, 61% are no longer operating. A review of Singapore’s national business registry shows that 20 have been struck off while 13 remain active.
This follows Justice For Myanmar’s 2022 investigation; the #DoMoreSingapore campaign urging the Singapore government to block the Myanmar junta’s access to arms and dual use goods; and efforts by the UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar, who published a report in 2023 exposing Singapore as a significant source of arms for the junta.
Companies struck off the Singapore corporate registry include a subsidiary of Star Sapphire Group, which was involved in the procurement of arms from Israel, including Super Dvora Mk III fast attack boats and Skylark unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); Bright Sky Group Pte. Ltd., a subsidiary of the A1 Group of Companies, which has provided German ND Satcom communications on the move (COTM) systems to the army’s signals directorate; and Atland Services Pte. Ltd. and General Machinery Trading Pte. Ltd. that have brokered equipment and services to the Myanmar Navy for its frigate construction project.
Yet, some of the Myanmar military’s most notorious arms broker networks have companies still registered in Singapore. These include:
- Dynasty Group, which operates a Singapore subsidiary, Dynasty Excellency Pte Ltd. Dynasty Excellency’s sole shareholder is Dr Aung Moe Myint. Dynasty companies have brokered the purchase of arms and related equipment for the Myanmar military from Belarus and facilitated junta payments for arms transactions. Aung Moe Myint also serves as the Honorary Consul of Belarus to Myanmar. Aung Moe Myint and Dynasty Group are sanctioned by the USA, UK, EU and Canada.
- Myanmar Chemical & Machinery (MCM) Group, whose Singapore subsidiary is MCM Pacific Pte. Ltd. MCM Group has supplied Mi-2 and Mi-17 helicopter parts to the air force, BTR-3U armoured personnel carriers to the army, and ship components that include propulsion systems and stern arrangements for the Myanmar navy. Aung Hlaing Oo has been sanctioned by the UK, EU and Canada, and Myanmar Chemical and Machinery Co. Ltd. has been sanctioned by the UK and Canada.
- KT and Ky-Tha group, whose Singapore subsidiary Ky-Tha Trading Pte. Ltd. was involved in procuring Thales Coast Watcher 100 coastal surveillance radars for the military. KT and Ky-Tha groups have also procured ATR and Fokker aircraft for the Myanmar air force.
Other Singapore companies remain active as brokers of arms, equipment and training to the Myanmar military that have conducted business with the military following the Rohingya genocide in 2017. This includes Asia Trading Group Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-registered company 45% owned by former Air Mandalay CEO Sai Kham Park Hpa. Asia Trading Group facilitated transactions that the linked Myanmar company Aero Sofi Co. Ltd. made with the Myanmar air force, including a proposed luxury refurbishment of an Airbus A319-112 plane worth millions of US dollars, which was cancelled after it was exposed by Justice For Myanmar and the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP).
In addition, there is at least one Singapore company active that is directly involved in aviation fuel import and distribution with the military junta. It was exposed in a 2022 report by Amnesty International in collaboration with Justice For Myanmar.
PEIA Pte. Ltd. is a subsidiary of Shoon Group (formerly Asia Sun) and remains registered in Singapore. PEIA operated the joint venture company National Energy Prime Aviation Services Company Limited (NEPAS) (formerly National Energy Puma Aviation Services Company Limited), together with the junta controlled Myanma Petrochemical Enterprise. PEIA has been sanctioned by the USA.
The related Singapore company, Shoon Energy Pte. Ltd., was recently gazetted to be struck off. It has been sanctioned by the USA and the UK, and Shoon’s leaders have also been sanctioned by the USA, the UK, and Canada.
In the years since these companies were first exposed, the junta has widened its campaign of terror against the people with nationwide indiscriminate airstrikes that kill civilians and destroy schools, hospitals and places of worship. Junta forces indiscriminately shell communities and commit rape and sexual violence, mass arbitrary arrest, torture and mass forced displacement.
According to UN figures, 2025 saw a sharp increase in junta airstrikes which killed at least 982 civilians, many of them children. In the two months of its sham election period alone, from December 2025 to January 2026, the junta carried out 199 airstrikes on civilian targets, according to a report by the UN Special Rapporteur. Since the junta’s latest rebranding, these atrocities have continued to intensify with the junta waging airstrikes against civilians across the country.
The junta’s actions amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity that are made possible by its continued access to arms, dual use goods, technology and aviation fuel.
Justice For Myanmar calls on Singapore to take immediate action against the remaining companies and individuals that were identified in our 2022 report, and in reports by the UN Special Rapporteur on Myanmar and others, and ensure that no company or individual in Singapore is acting as a broker or intermediary for the junta’s supply chain of terror.
This must include investigating companies and individuals involved in the transfer of arms and dual use goods to the Myanmar military, whether through re-export or as a financial intermediary, and taking action against any company or individual in Singaporean territory that is violating the law.
Singapore banks also must take action to deny services to companies identified as procuring arms, equipment, technology and aviation fuel for the junta, and increase due diligence to ensure they are no longer complicit in the junta’s atrocities through the provision of banking services.
Singapore, which will assume the chair of ASEAN in 2027, must make a concerted effort and take concrete action to stop the junta’s atrocity crimes against the Myanmar people and uphold its public commitment to prevent the flow of arms and dual use goods to the junta.
Justice For Myanmar spokesperson Yadanar Maung says: "It is unacceptable that, nearly four years since exposing Singapore companies enabling the Myanmar military’s international crimes, so many businesses continue to operate with impunity.
"While actions taken are welcome, Singapore must do more to cut off the arms, equipment and aviation fuel that the junta needs to keep terrorising the people of Myanmar on a daily basis.
"The involvement of Singapore-based businesses in the transfer of arms, dual-use goods and aviation fuel to the Myanmar military directly undermines Singapore’s commitment to the ASEAN 5 Point Consensus, which calls for the immediate cessation of violence.
"As ASEAN’s Chair for 2027, Singapore has a heightened responsibility to ensure companies and individuals in its territory are complying with domestic and international law, respecting the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and not aiding and abetting the Myanmar military junta's crimes against humanity and war crimes against Myanmar’s people.
"It is time for Singapore to uphold its international obligations and take concrete action to block the junta’s access to arms, equipment and aviation fuel."
