 * Symbol confirmed.svg Well done! Within policy and expanded within the required timeframe. No copyvios found and QPQ done. I'm approving hooks ALT1 and ALT2. ALT0 reaches a conclusion which is not supported by sources. ALT3 does not seem to be an example of how quite endemic the corruption in Myanmar is, while ALT4 has no direct inline citation after the sentence. ALT5 is not reflective of how awful the corruption in Myanmar is, while ALT6 seems to describe a standard and default business practice. —♦♦ AMBER  (ЯʘCK)  20:59, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
