Thein Sein gets an Orchid

Thursday • March 19, 2009

Visiting Myanmar Prime Minister Thein Sein had a new orchid strain named after him yesterday.

The Myanmar leader signed a symbolic ‘birth certificate’ officially naming the orchid, Dendrobium Thein Sein, during a ceremony at the National Orchid Garden.

Foreign dignitaries who have had orchids named after them include former South African President Nelson Mandela.

General Thein Sein also called on Singapore’s Acting-President J Y Pillay at the Istana yesterday.
