In February 2020, ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights (APHR) organized a fact-finding mission to Myanmar to investigate the human rights impacts of Malaysian cross-border investment in Myanmar’s palm oil sector. The mission focused on the Myanmar Stark Prestige Plantation (MSPP) in Tanintharyi Region in southern Myanmar.
