It was a routine official visit to Kawthaung in southern Myanmar by deputy minister Su Su Hlaing and her team. And after arrival the Ministry of Information dutifully uploaded pictures of the visit on their Facebook page.
It's not exactly the kind of content that lights the internet on fire. But then some sharp-eyed users noticed a mysterious shadow on the ground near Hlang in one of the photos. They quickly concluded that an umbrella had been airbrushed from the hand of the man holding it over the minister. But whoever altered the image apparently neglected to remove the umbrella's shadow.
The original picture has since been removed from the ministry's Facebook page, but not before hundreds noticed, shared and commented. "The information (department) wants to deceive but it is not very tidy (or clever enough)," posted one Facebook user. "I want to buy a magic umbrella to make myself disappear," another joked.
The ministry has not commented on why the umbrella was allegedly airbrushed out of the photo.
