This interview was first published in 2021 and received many downloads. U Maung Nyi (commonly known as David) was born in Kyaukse on 15 April, 1936. He was educated in Kyaukse, Mandalay, Yangon and Otago (New Zealand). As a mining engineer he spent many years working at Bawdwin, Myanmar's famous lead, silver and zinc mine which during colonial times was the largest such mine in the world. Herbert Hoover, the 31st US President, made his fortune investing in Bawdwin. David eventually became its Mine Superintendent from 1983 to 1986 and was then promoted to become General Manager of a new copper mine at Monya (known as No. 1 Copper Mine). His resignation from this role after the 1988 riots and coup had far reaching consequences on the lives of all his family.

This interview took place in 2018 and I am republishing it now as there was a lot of interest when it was first published. U Nay Oke is the founder of a well known English language school and was born in 1943. There is a short short postscript where U Nay Oke told me the story of how as a very young man, as a result of a bizare circumstance, he ended up selecting Western movies for General Ne Win.

I was fortunate to interview Kenneth twice before he passed away on 22 May, 2022 at the age of 91.

General Ne Win (1911-2002), politician, military commander, Prime Minister, President and dictator 28:54

منذ 1 year28:54

28:54

General Ne Win (1910 -2002) was a Burmese politician and military commander who served as Prime Minister of Burma from 1958 to 1960 and 1962 to 1974, and also as President of Burma from 1962 to 1981. He was the country's military dictator during the Socialist period from 1962 to 1988. I wonder how many of those listening to this podcast know that the name "Ne Win" was a nom de guerre used by Ne Win during WW2 to protect his identity. His birth name was Shu Maung. In this episode I have only dealt with his early life up to the start of WW2 in Burma. I will shortly re-publish two interviews with my friend, U Kenneth Ba Thaung who sadly passed away last year at the age of 91. Kenneth had a close involvement with General Ne Win and provides some fascinating insights into Ne Win's personality. I am again indebted to the leading Asian scholar, Professor Robert Taylor for giving me permission to read some extracts from his biography on the life of General Ne Win entitled General Ne Win: A political biography published in 2015 by the Institute of South East Asian Studies and which can be purchased as an ebook or as a soft cover book - https://bookshop.iseas.edu.sg/publication/2076 Send us a text Please feel free to contact me with suggested interviewees at church.peter@gmail.com.

Dr. Maung Maung (1925-1992) - Gentleman, Scholar and Patriot - the 7th President of Myanmar 36:26

منذ 1 year36:26

36:26

Dr. Maung Maung was not only a giant in terms of his legal scholarship - being awarded two doctorates from prestigious international universities - but was also a thorough gentleman and patriot in the important years of Burma's pre and post independence. He was heavily criticized by some for being too close to General Ne Win, but others saw him as a loyal servant of the State and who tried to be a positive influence on General Ne Win. Towards the end of his life he spent time at Singapore's Institute of South East Asian Studies (ISEAS) providing an oral history of his life and views. I am indebted to the leading Asian scholar, Professor Robert Taylor for giving me permission to read some extracts from his biography of him - Dr. Maung Maung : Gentleman, Scholar and Patriot published in 2008 by ISEAS and which can be purchased from ISEAS in an ebook or printed format - https://bookshop.iseas.edu.sg/publication/909. Dr. Maung Maung has the distinction of, not just being appointed the 7th President of Myanmar, but also the President with the shortest term. He was appointed on 18 August, 1988 but was removed one month later by a military coup on 19 September, 1988. Myanmar was then without a President until 2011 when U Thein Sein was appointed. Please note an error I made in referring to U Thant as the first Secretary General of the UN; he was in fact the fourth holding the role from 1961 to 1971.

Guy Slater was born in Lahore (then India) in 1941, the eldest son an Englishman who worked for the Indian Civil Service (as did several earlier generations of the family). Following India becoming independent in 1947 his father became a diplomat and was posted at one time to Burma. On leaving school Guy spent 8 months in Rangoon between school and university with his parents during which time EM Law-Yone, the legendary founder of the Rangoon Nation ( https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/apr/03/wendy-law-yone-burma-rangoon-nation) offered him a job as a "cub reporter". During his time at the Rangoon Nation he became a close friend of Marike Barrington, the daughter of Mr. James Barrington who was head of Burma's Foreign Office and had previously served as Ambassador to both the US and the UN and was succeeded at the UN by the famous figure of U Thant. The podcast covers Guy's short time as a "cub reporter" in Yangon and his career back in England in the theatre and TV and his continued involvement with Myanmar through his role as a Trustee of Prospect Burma (https://prospectburma.org/).
