Controversies

[edit]

In March 2019, Omni Focus was sued by AYA Bank for failing to repay hire-purchase loans obtained to acquire buses. The company, and two of its affiliates—Central Yangon Network Company and Keen Support Company—took out a loan of 56 billion kyats (US$36.8 million) from AYA Bank in 2017 to buy 500 new buses to be operated by Yangon Bus Service (YBS). The loan was sought at the recommendation of Yangon Chief Minister Phyo Min Thein.[8]
