BANGKOK/TOKYO -- Thailand's largest industrial estate developer has suspended work on a $1 billion project in Myanmar due to fears that the military coup and possible international sanctions will drive investors away from the country.
Amata had just begun construction on the 2,000-acre industrial complex outside Yangon in December but the development, including a new power plant, will be put on hold, chief marketing officer Viboon Kromadit told reporters on Tuesday.
