The new national flag of Burma.

As though changing the name from Burma to Myanmar wasn’t enough, the military junta recently changed the name of the country from Myanmar to the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. And just for kicks, the national flag has been changed too. Ask the locals what the colors of the flag and the white star means, and you’d get confused looks as though you’ve just asked them to tell you the value of pi to the seventy third decimal point. Anyone care to shed some light? Lolly on offer for most convincing answer.
