Thandar Shwe is shown bedecked with jewels
|
A video of the wedding of the daughter of Burma's military leader Than Shwe has appeared on the internet, giving a rare glimpse into a lavish lifestyle.
Thandar Shwe and army major Zaw Phyo Win actually married in July, but the video has only recently come to light.
In one 10-minute clip, shown on the internet site YouTube, the couple pour large quantities of champagne and stand before an ornate, golden bridal bed.
Thandar Shwe was shown draped in what appear to be expensive jewels.
The newly-weds were reportedly given $50m-worth of wedding gifts, including, cars jewellery and houses.
Most Burmese will not see the video, since internet use inside the repressive country is restricted.
But some of those who have seen the video, both inside and outside Burma, viewed the wedding as a tasteless extravagance in an otherwise poverty-stricken nation.
One local reporter told a Thai newspaper that people were asking themselves where the money came from.
"It's outrageous, just outrageous, especially when you consider that most Burmese live in extreme poverty," Aung Zaw, the editor of Irrawaddy, a publication run by Burmese journalists in exile, told Reuters news agency.
Than Shwe himself is seen in the video, walking stiffly at his daughter's side in traditional Burmese dress - a rare glimpse of him out of military uniform.
The video was later removed from the YouTube site.
