Lo Hsing Han
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lo Hsing Han (Traditional Chinese: 羅興漢; Simplified Chinese: 罗兴汉; pinyin: Luó Xīnghàn; born 1935) is a Burmese drug trafficker, with financial ties to Singapore. He reportedly started his opium-trafficking career as an anti-government insurgent in the 1950s. By the early 1970s he was an important figure in the Asian drug trade, before being arrested for treason in 1973 and sentenced to death. He was released in 1980 on general amnesty. In 1992, he founded the Asia World Company, allegedly as a front for his drug operations.
