GOLDEN LAND
- Rangoon was the Capital of the Rice Bowl of Asia.
- It provided Rice for Disaster Relief in neighboring countries.
- Backed by Gold Reserve, the Currency / Kyat was strong and stable.
- In our younger days, one US Dollar is traded around 5 – 6 Kyats.
- Sadly, the purchasing power of the Kyat declined dramatically.
- Three snap shots :
1 Kyat = 4 Baht
1 Kyat = 1 Baht
4 Kyat = 1 Baht - Some factors Indiscriminate Nationalization Multiple Demonetization Incoherent Policies and whimsical Changes Decline of Ethics
HOPE

- Sponsors, donors (cash and kind), medical professionals, and volunteers helped with the detection, prevention and cure of COVID.
- Saya Pu Zaw Pwe and Thet Kyee Pu Zaw Pwe are alive and well.
- Current Professors and staff provided Garawa gifts to senior sayas and sayamas (some in their 80s).
- The Adhamma Era which had Prisoners of Conscience gave way to the Pwint Linn Era with a democratically elected Government.
- The younger generation is aware of the development (e.g Industry 4.0, Education 4.0, Convergence of Technologies) in the world.
- Hope to see a rapid Rise to Former Glory and beyond.
