Following a meeting between the country’s democracy movement leader Aung San
Suu Kyi, the president suspended work on a controversial Chinese
construction project to dam the Irrawaddy river, lifted curbs on press
freedom and trade union rights and released hundreds of political prisoners.
More than 20 more political prisoners were released on Monday.

His reforms led to a relaxation of global sanctions after the country held a
series of April by-elections which were seen as free and fair. Aung San Suu
Kyi’s National League for Democracy won a landslide victory and she is
expected to make her maiden speech in its parliament early next week.

Some observers have, however, sounded a note of caution over Tin Aung Myint
Oo’s resignation and advised caution ahead of a replacement being appointed.

The resignation and speculation about other cabinet moves come amid concerns
that support for the reforms may still be “fragile” with ethnic conflicts
still unresolved, the recent communal conflict between tribesmen and a
Muslim migrant minority in the south-west of the country’s, and recent
criticism of democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Nobel laureate was publicly upbraided by the country’s election commission
which said her use of the term ‘Burma’
instead of its official name Myanmar during her recent tour of Europe last
month was disrespectful of the country’s constitution.
