The Union Minister for Information Dr Pe Myint told the Amyotha Hluttaw meeting yesterday (May 31) that “There is a plan to build a high-class cinema in Loikaw, Kayah State.
The Ministry of Information (MOI) will inspect the location of the old Thiri cinema and negotiate with the Kayah State government on acquiring the land.”
He was answering a query from No 6 Kayah Constituency Representative Daw Lwi Zar, who had asked if there were plans to build a cinema in the land left vacant by the former Thiri cinema.
“Construction of the cinema and land management matters can be handled by the MOI only after the land has been transferred to the Kayah State government in accordance with procedures,” he said.
Dr Pe Myint said “The reply from Kayah State government stated that after getting the rights to manage the land, construction of a supermarket complex with a cinema will be developed with the State budget in the next fiscal year or the project will be handed over to a private firm.”
The process of transferring relevant documents to the MOI is under way and management matters is being handled by the respective Regional and State governments for a long-term lease.
The management and running of cinemas have been completely transferred to the private sector, he added.
“Loikaw is the major city in Kayah State. It should have a modern cinema that has full features befitting a big city. I raised the question in the Hluttaw wanting to know if this was possible,” said Daw Lwi Zar.
