“All of us at MPT are so proud to be a part this landmark 18-location nationwide clean-up campaign. As the nation’s largest operator, we were able to mobilise over 6,000 MPT staff and members of the public to engage in a huge event held simultaneously all around the country. We hope that our many customers across Myanmar understand that MPT is a strong and proud local operator that brings more to its communities in various ways.
