An opportunity to experience the World's Best Airport during a layover
YANGON: Myanmar ’s junta leader Min Aung Hlaing made a rare apology to a prominent Buddhist monastery after its abbot was killed by security forces last week, a development that could trigger widespread protests among the monks who traditionally support the military.
The apology is an attempt to defuse tensions as some in the Buddhist clergy are planning protests after the 78-year-old chief monk was shot dead by security forces last week in a village in central Myanmar. Junta-controlled media initially blamed resistance groups for the abbot’s death but a senior monk traveling with him said the regime’s security officials were responsible.
Min Aung Hlaing donated a fleet of luxury cars this month to members of the nation’s highest Buddhist authority to help them perform their religious duties, state media reported. "If the government and monks can’t work together, our country will have lots of trouble,” he said in remarks broadcast on Facebook.
