Burmese military chief Snr-Gen Than Shwe was briefly hospitalized at a Rangoon hospital on Wednesday night, according to sources in Naypyidaw and Rangoon.
The 77-year-old junta leader, who is known to have a diabetes, was hospitalized at Pun Hlaing International Hospital in Rangoon, the sources said. But he was believed to be no longer at the hospital on Thursday morning, according to journalists in Rangoon.
Burmese Buddhist monks in India who met Than Shwe during his recent visit there said he appeared to be in ill health.
In December 2006, Than Shwe spent two weeks in Singapore's General Hospital, reportedly receiving treatment for intestinal cancer . He reportedly refused surgery.
Naypidaw sources speculate that the regime chief is likely to seek further medical treatment in Singapore if his health worsens.
