Burma’s retired Vice-Sen-Gen Maung Aye, number two in the previous ruling military junta, plans to visit Singapore for medical treatment after suffering a stroke, according to sources in Naypyidaw.
The 74-year-old was admitted to a military hospital in the capital on Sunday evening. He regained consciousness on Monday morning and decided to leave for Singapore for further treatment the same day.
Maung Aye will receive medical care at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in the affluent city-state where Burmese generals have been frequent visitors in the past. He will arrive on Monday evening on a private flight, according to sources close to the Burmese embassy in Singapore.
A military source in Naypyidaw confirmed that Maung Aye will be transported by a specially equipped medical aircraft. His elder brother, Kyaw Nyunt, will accompany him to Singapore where relatives of his wife Myat Myat San stay, according to sources.
