  • U Ngwe Tun (C)

    Saya U Ngwe Tun (C) used to run a book shop called “Theingi Maw”.

    After the demise of his spouse, Saya moved to his daughter’s house.

    He did not go out during the pandemic, but he got infected by Covid and passed away.

    ** Notes

    * Ko Myint Naing and Ohn Mar Khin are variants of Covid.

    * Some who had four doses (or more) of Covid vaccine still got infected by newer strains of Covid.

    ** Notes

    * He was wrongly called as U Tint Swe, U Tin Shwe and U Tin Shwe Gyi.

    * U Tin Shwe (EP66, GBNF) thus became (wrongly) known as U Tin Shwe Lay.
