The latest shakeup isn't much of a shakeup.
Hmuu Zaw, aka Zaw Htay, is the new spokesman for the president's office under the Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy.
If his name sounds familiar, that's because he served in a similar capacity under the previous administration. In politics, it's rare for someone that high up to survive such a big change in leadership, but the NLD has shown willingness to keep on former ruling party stalwarts as a way of showing inclusivity. It's not a bad idea.
The new/old spokesman announced the news earlier today on his widely followed Facebook page, and the comments section was quickly inundated with congratulatory notes, with the occasional not so congratulatory note included. (Courtesy of Coconuts Yangon)
