I wouldn't read to much into that at the moment - Both Kuala Lumpur and Singapore have daily flights to Rangoon - Just over 2 hour flight.

The families of the military junta are often down doing their shopping on Bukit Bintang or Orchard Road. I've seen Than Shwe's children myself on more than one occasion.

Than Shwe himself is in Singapore almost once a month to see his doctors at Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
