YANGON: The lakeside mansion where Myanmar's democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi spent years under house arrest went under auction on Wednesday (March 20) with a minimum price of US$150 million -- but attracted no bids, officials said.

The two-storey house and 1.9 acres of land was put up for sale following a decades-long dispute over the property between the Nobel laureate -- who has been detained since the 2021 military coup -- and her brother.
