Mekong Watch and JFM have sent letters to TASAKI and its potential investors raising concerns over TASAKI’s continuing partnership with Myanmar Pearl Enterprise (MPE), a state-owned enterprise illegally controlled by the Myanmar military junta.

In a letter sent to TASAKI, Mekong Watch and Justice For Myanmar have expressed concerns that TASAKI's ongoing partnership with Myanmar Pearl Enterprise contravenes human rights responsibilities under the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.

In a letter sent to FountainVest Partners and Unison Capital, which are reportedly planning to jointly acquire TASAKI, Mekong Watch and Justice For Myanmar have pointed out that this acquisition might lead to failures in meeting their responsibilities under the UN Guiding Principles and OECD guidelines.
