| YANGON: Myanmar's military government removed two cabinet ministers and four deputy ministers on Friday in the wake of Prime Minister Khin Nyunt's ouster. State media said Home (Interior) Minister Colonel Tin Hlaing and Labour Minister U Tin Win "were permitted to retire effective today", a euphemism often used when removing unwanted senior officials. They said Deputy Ministers for Agriculture Brigadier General Khin Maung, Industry-1 Brigadier General Kyaw Win, Livestock Breeding and Fisheries Aung Thein and Science and Technology Nyi Hla Nge were also "permitted to retire". |
