YANGON — Myanmar 's junta failed in its attempt to auction Aung San Suu Kyi 's lakeside mansion on Wednesday, with no bids submitted for the former democracy leader's home — the third time the sale has flopped.The two-storey Yangon house, with about 0.8 hectares of land, was put up for sale with a minimum price of $140 million following a decades-long dispute over the property between the Nobel laureate and her brother.
