Saya and his Hna Pyi

He has several “Hna Pyi” (authors, vocalists, entrepreneurs) and best friends including the nationally acclaimed musician Khin Maung Toe.

At an M72 gathering, Saya U Thein Aung (Met72) handed over the “Salwai” (that he won for Set Hmu Maung in 1968) to WHO.

WHO danced with joy. He promised to hand over the Salwai to a younger alumni at an appropriate time.
