Myanmar junta leader Min Aung Hlaing 
spotted was Daw Khin May Soe, wife of Chief of General Staff (Army, Navy, Air Force) General Kyaw Swar Lin. addition, the wife of Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister General Maung Maung Aye, and Daw Nilar, the wife of General Ye Win Oo, the joint secretary of the junta’s governing body, joined the entourage. A shrewd woman, Daw Kyu Kyu Hla showers favors on her favorites among the generals’ wives—and their husbands get rapid promotions, sources close to them said.

Gen. Kyaw Swar Lin has been assigned to a planning position that doesn’t require him to fight at the front lines. Min Aung Hlaing’s trusted aide is also widely tipped to become the next military chief when Min Aung Hlaing retires from the military, w/current Deputy Commander-in-Chief (Army) General Soe Win now seen as unlikely to assume Commander-in-Chief position. The junta leader and Daw Kyu Kyu Hla have always tried to surround themselves with people close to them when considering their future.
