Myanmar president feeling ill, resting at home
YANGON, Myanmar, MAY 18 (AP/UNB) - Myanmar's President Thein Sein was resting at his home in Yangon after military doctors paid a house call but gave no details about what was ailing the 67-year-old leader.
Officials confirmed that Thein Sein was not feeling well and at his private residence. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the health of a leader is a sensitive topic in Myanmar.
The officials said he could be suffering from exhaustion due to a heavy workload.
Thein Sein has a heart condition. He traveled to Singapore earlier this year for a new pacemaker.
Thein Sein has spearheaded a wave of reforms since taking office in March 2011. He has won international praise for overseeing Myanmar's transition from military rule to fledgling democracy.
