Buddhism still dominant in Myanmar

Buddhism still rules in Myanmar despite the increasing popularity of other religious faiths.

According to a report, Muslim population constitutes 4.3 per cent with the addition of an estimated 1.09 million Muslims in Rakhine State, compared to 3.9 per cent in the census conducted in 1973 and 1983.

The Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population’s report on religion was released subsequently to the 2014 census. (Courtesy of nationmultimedia.com)
