[11] Maung Weik explained that the 2008 conviction by authorities of drug trafficking was "murder without death" at a press conference at the Novotel Hotel in 2016.
[13] While he kept doing his business and duties very well, in 2016, local media published the news regarding the controversy over bribery allegations that he bribed U Phyo Min Thein, who used to be Chief Minister of Yangon Region, who accepted a Patek Philippe watch as a gift from him.
As a response to the libelous material, Maung Weik created a press conference and declared that he was ready for judgment anytime at any court.
[17] After detaining him for over a month, on 17 March 2021, Myanmar Radio and Television released a video file showing that Maung Weik had donated $550,000[18] to the Daw Khin Kyi Foundation illegally.
[24] Many media reported that "he repeatedly said in the court that the case for cash donations was not for bribery, and only to show sympathy as he lost his father and grandfather due to cancer disease".
Providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Rakhine State, he donated 15,000 lakh kyats to the Resettlement Development Project (UEHRD) in 2017.
[30] On 19 February 2019, Maung Weik made the donation ceremony at the Pahtodawgyi for depositing the shrines and setting up the central pole together with the local people honorably.
In 2020, President Win Myint awarded the 8 numbers of local business men including Maung Weik with the title Agga Maha Sirisudhamma Manijotadhara.
