    Peter and his mentor Dr. TOKM

    Dr. Thane Oke Kyaw Myint led his team of doctors including Peter and Pe Thet Khin to collect data for Maternal / Peri-natal project. When the team arrived at the food sjops / stalls, Peter would be welcomed as Sayagyi because of his stature. Peter would say “Our saya Dr. TOKM is over there”.

    Peter and his friends funded the book “Tribute to Dr Thane Oke Kyaw Myint” to celebrate their saya’s 70th birthday.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is tokm-1-1.jpg

    Peter and his Grandma

    Grandma (Seated Left)

    The two loved each other a lot, and may even have telepathic connections. Cho Cho Hlaing was surprised to see Peter walk in front of their house every time her mother had new good food.

    Chubby Tubby was a cartoon character. Ma Cho would fondly call Peter as Burmese Tubby or Pote Pote Kyee.

    Peter thanked his grandma to let him and his friends eat and study for the MRCP prep examination.

    Even after he moved to UK, Peter kept in touch with his grandma. One day, Peter was worried to learn that his grandma had lost her appetite. Both had good appetites. Sadly, his grandma passed away a week later.

    Peter and his mom

    Aye Aye Khin remembers that Peter spent a lot of time talking to his mom (Ma Cherry). Peter and his mom have their birthdays in January. They would do dana together. Peter would come back from UK in January to celebrate his mom’s birthday.

    Peter took us to Chan Myei Yeiktha, where he offered requisites to U Thawbita for his mom’s birthday.

    Whenever Ma Cherry was not feeling well (e.g. feeling moody), Aye Aye Khin would ask Peter to call. Ma Cherry’s eyes will shine brightly.

    During my early visits to Yangon, Ma Cherry will tell me about comparative religion and the books that she had read. She attended Catholic Convent schools, but she knew about the Buddhist Teachings and the dhamma practice of the sayadaws.

    Her memory declined during my later visits. She passed away late last year — a couple of months before her 89th birthday.

    Peter inherited Ma Cherry’s expertise for Gourmet Food. Ma Cherry was a Nutrition Expert at BMRI and had her post graduate diploma from UK. Peter shared the recipes with relatives and friends. Hope Minko and Ye Lay can archive his Facebook Pages and archive Peter’s recipes.

    Sad Loss that might have been prevented

    Dr. Khin Tun (Peter) served as Associate Graduate Dean at Oxford University from 2012 – 2016. He worked at Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading for 20+ years.

    Sadly, he passed away on April 13, 2020 due to COVID-19 infection. He was the first doctor from RBH Trust to pass away in the line of duty. Due to misguided Policies and Guidelines, Peter lost his life at the tender age of 62. Thanks in part to interviews by Minko and Ye Myint, RBH Trust initiated an inquiry into the loss of Peter.

    Peter was looking forward to retiring in a couple of years and spend quality time with his extended family.

    His paternal grand mother lived up to 94.

    His father celebrated his 90th birthday in 2019. He used to sit in the garden every evening talking with someone and taking his daily dose of medicine. After learning about Peter’s untimely demise, he was devastated for three days. He no longer had the desire to sit in the garden. He lamented that he had no one to talk to. Ye Myint told his father that he will call from UK daily.

    His mother passed away a few months short of her 89th birthday. She and Peter are both January born. Peter would fly back to Yangon almost every year (for the past decade) in time for his mother’s birthday. They would perform dana together mostly at Chan Myei Yeiktha.

    Three uncles and two aunts are in their 80s.

    Relatives and friends mourn the loss of Peter and miss his compassion, help and smiles.

    Hope

    We cannot get Peter back, but we hope other medical staff in the front line fighting the invisible enemy would not have to suffer the same fate as Peter.
