Myanmar business opportunities / Viet Nam next leader / Halal industry anti-corruption blockchain

Opportunities available for Myanmar businesses in the next five years.  Vicky Bowman from the Myanmar Centre for Responsible Business “said the government needs to recognize that it is not just about improving the ease of doing business…but in doing so responsibly. ‘A lot of governments are coming from a position in which businesses are likely to be the bad guys and need to be controlled, but the [governments] don’t quite recognize their own role in creating the legislative environment to enable businesses to act responsibly,”

Vietnam's leader wants a successor tough on corruption (Commentary). “Two men are said to be favored to replace Trong as general-secretary -- 67-year-old Tran Quoc Vuong, a standing member of the party secretariat, and 66-year-old Nguyen Xuan Phuc, the incumbent prime minister…"Vuong is able to continue Trong's so-called "dot lo" -- or "burning to ashes" -- or anti-corruption campaign, in other words" [Duong Quoc Chinh, a Hanoi-based political analyst] said.”

Could blockchain technology clean up corruption in the halal industry? (Opinion). “Blockchain technology removes the need for a trusted third party to ensure an independent assessment of the integrity of a product or its network, as the longest chain serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed. This technology could enforce end-to-end halal assurance based on specific halal market requirements, supported by automated smart contracts.
