(This episode is Than Shwe legally granting a slush fund for himself.)
Just before the recently elected Union Parliament (Pyidaungzu Hluttaw) was initiated on January 31 the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) promulgated a law establishing a slush fund for the Commander-in-chief of Burma’s armed forces on January 27.
By this law Than Shwe generously granted himself unlimited amount of money out of State Budget to use for whatever he fancies. This is the English version of that law called The Special Fund Law.
