Yangon
FORMER Singapore foreign minister George Yeo has been tapped to help lead the development of a Yangon city extension billed to spur growth for Myanmar, just like what Shenzhen city did for China.
The massive industrialisation effort will cover an area more than twice the size of Singapore. Lying west of the river by Myanmar's commercial capital, it will contain homes, factories, power plants and water treatment plants.
