Lavish wedding sparks outrage in Burma

A video of an extravagant wedding for the daughter of impoverished Burma’s military leader has caused outrage in a country where many people struggle to afford a bowl of rice.

The leaked film shows Thandar Shwe, the daughter of junta leader Senior General Than Shwe, wearing a staggering collection of diamond encrusted jewellery and clothing. There is also a lavish bridal chamber, seemingly the size of a small ballroom.
