SINGAPORE (AFP): A Singapore court handed a company and two of its employees heavy fines on Tuesday (Sept 19) for exporting a sonar system to Myanmar in 2018 for use by an arm of its navy.

The pair, who were employed by Singapore-based survey equipment supplier Hydronav at the time, pleaded guilty to exporting strategic goods without a permit.

Hydronav was also fined S$1.13 million by the court for exporting the sonar system and a drone used for surveying to Myanmar. Hydronav then sold it to a Myanmar entity, Light of Universe, for US$1.58 million to be used by the Myanmar Navy Hydrographic Centre.
