Myanmar’s cash-strapped opposition party is tapping into the prestige of its leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Two sweaters hand-knit by the leader have been auctioned for $123,000 (N19,206,450).  A green-and-white sweater with a floral design sold at a Friday night auction to an anonymous bidder for 63 million kyat, or $74,120 (N11,573,838). On Thursday, a Myanmar-based radio station won a bidding war for a multi-coloured V-neck that fetched $49,000 (N7,651,350).
