Independent Myanmar news outlet reporting, citing the Minister for Religious Affairs and Culture, that the Ministry reformed Shwedagon Pagoda's Board of Trustees and tracking the cash donations received afterward, confirming administration by a trustee board under ministry oversight rather than direct government revenue administration.

Reliability Tier2
Tier 2: independent Myanmar news journalism, not a primary Board of Trustees or government financial record; the article could not be directly accessed (blocked to automated access), so its content was confirmed via two independent search results naming Shwedagon specifically. Citation
