I am sad to learn that Aye Win Kyaw has passed away. I met him in Pyin Oo Lwin the last time I visited Myanmar in 2015-16. He seemed to be in good health at that time. Quite a few people told me that he was a good astrologer. I remember him as a nice and quiet person. May he pass into a better life. I send my deep condolences to his family.
