“Recent events there cause me grave concern,” Lim said in the emailed statement, which followed an online petition calling on him to cut his exposure. MEHL’s scores of subsidiaries span a range of industries from ruby and jade mining to tourism and banking, and the conglomerate is owned and influenced by senior military leaders including commander-in-chief Min Aung Hlaing, according to the UN report.
