In 2012, Ko Wynn Htain Oo invited me to the M72 gathering. Ko Myint Pe offered me a ride from the SPZP-2012 meeting to the M72 PZP, and then a ride back home.
Ko Khin Maung Toe, who had recorded “Thamudaya Kyaung” especially for the occasion, passed away before SPZP2012.
Per Ko KMT’s request, the “unedited” DVD was rushed to Singapore for his viewing.
The commemorative DVD was distributed at the M72 gathering.
