U Kenneth Ba Thaung (1931-2022), his life and career as a military officer including discussing his relationship with General Ne Win and his career running the Pearl and Fishery corporation, as Commissioner of Salt, the establishment of Polo 9 cigarette company and the 7 1/2 years he spent in Insein Prison.

I was fortunate to interview Kenneth twice before he passed away on 22 May, 2022 at the age of 91.   We must ensure the life stories of elderly Myanma are recorded in some way or they will be lost forever when they pass away.  
Please feel free to contact me with suggested interviewees at church.peter@gmail.com.

Thank you for listening .
