Myanmar’s junta chief Min Aung Hlaing on Thursday moved loyalists to key ministries in a cabinet shuffle following the extension of emergency rule earlier this week.
Transport minister Admiral Tin Aung San, who formerly served as the navy chief, was appointed as a Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister while National Security Adviser Lt-General Yar Pyae was moved to lead the Ministry of Home Affairs which controls police forces and prisons across the country.
