Burma's state media said today there was a "massive turnout" in the national referendum, which the military regime held the yesterday despite widespread damage from Cyclone Nargis.
Polling hours were extended in some places to let people cast their ballots in the referendum, held yesterday in most of the country, the official New Light of Burma newspaper said.
"The referendum was held successfully ... with massive turnout of the citizens," the paper said in its story - which made no mention of the storm or the 60,000 people left dead or missing in the tragedy.
The military government has caused huge controversy in holding the referendum at all, considering the ongoing disaster.
