Bid to sell Suu Kyi’s Myanmar mansion flops for third time

Yangon, Myanmar –

Myanmar’s junta failed in an attempt to auction Aung San Suu Kyi’s lakeside mansion on Wednesday, with no bids submitted for the former democracy leader’s home — the third time the sale has flopped.

The two-story Yangon house, on about 0.8 hectares of land, was put up for sale with a minimum price of $140 million following a lengthy legal wrangle over the property between the Nobel laureate and her brother.

Suu Kyi, who spent years under house arrest at the mansion under a former junta, has been detained since the military seized power once again in February 2021.
