He is also chairman of Burmese Trade Council, having been appointed in November 2007 by Than Shwe, in response to Saffron Revolution demonstrations in October of that year,[2] and Minister of Military Affairs.[3] He joined the Buddhist monkhood on 3 May, after speculation over his disappearance had circulated throughout news media.[4]
