He told attendees of the 5th Acariya Pu Zaw (ICST/UCSY) that I was Generation Zero, Bo Htay was Generation One, and he was Generation Two.

He was a fledgling tutor in the Mathematics Department in 1963. He was a top student in his Honors Class (1958 – 1962). He held Tutorial for the topics taught by U Khin Zaw, Mr. Choudry and Daw Khin Ma Ma. He encouraged me. I was top of I.Sc. (A).

We crossed our paths again when we (U TAG, U Soe Win (EC70) and I) visited Southampton University to see Saya U Soe Paing and U Aung Zaw. He was doing his Ph.D. He is an expert on Differentiable Manifold (and related topics). He and U Aung Zaw joined us to see Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, and a Safari.

As Dr. Chit Swe’s assistant and general hand, I worked on several projects with the Maths sayas (including Dr. Kyaw Thein).

He became Principal of Sittwe College.

He succeeded Saya Dr. Tin Maung as Rector of ICST.
