Authority to inspect income sources of gold buyers for fraudulent purchases

It is reported that the income sources of buyers will be identified, as the commerce for profit using state-sold gold coins arise in the market.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation has sold gold coins in tical (0.578 ounce or 0.016 kilogramme), 0.5 tical and 0.25 tical, in Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon and Mandalay since September for people who will keep and use gold coins.
Greedy businessmen issued capital to lower-income people for purchasing gold coins and sold them at the market for profit after smelting them to look like scraps. Thus, the inspection will be made over the buyers’ source of income. It is known that arrangements were made by the Myanmar Gems Enterprise to check the citizenship scrutiny card (CSC), household census form and income source of buyers, in the future.
The gold coins were priced at K2.95 million per tical on 5 September and sold at the price of K2.85 million per tical on 6 September. On 24 November, gold coins were sold at K2,490,000 per tical, it is learnt. — TWA/GNLM
