Myanmar President U Thein Sein
Family: U Thein was born in a small village, Kyonku village, Ngapudaw Township, Pathein District in the Ayeyarwady Division of Myanmar on 20 April 1945. He was the youngest son of U Maung Phyo and Daw Khin Nyunt, born in a small wooden house on the road that runs through the center of Kyonku. All his childhood was being a poor kid. Mr. Kyaw Soe, a person from Kyonku village, said, ‘His parents were landless, and his father, U Maung Phyo, made a living carrying cargo at the river jetty and weaving bamboo mats.’ U Thein Sein married to Daw Khin Khin Win and they have three daughters.
U Thein Sein Service and Career:
Three Things That Open U Thein Sein Eyes:
1. Nargis Cyclone: When the Nargis Cyclone disaster happened to Myanmar in 2008, Thein Sein was the head of the country’s disaster preparedness committee and thus the leader of the military junta’s emergency response efforts. His native village, township and district was the most hit area. He saw how thing went terrible and horrible, it made him realize the limitations of the old regime.
2. International Affair: During his Prime Minister career, he represented Myanmar and visited several countries such as US (New York), Singapore and other countries. He saw something. This opened his eyes to the economic backwardness of the country, one of the poorest in Asia as well as the world.
3. Saffron Revolution: 2007 Saffron Revolution may turn his mind from the old regime. In Saffron revolution thousands of Monks were killed. According to close source U Thein Sein is devoted Buddhist. This occurred may be one of the most difficult thing for U Thien Sein to deal with. No more old school, start new fashion.
Some Result in His President Time:
When U Thein Sein became national leader, Myanmar has tasted new governing style; both authorization and democracy. Later on it changed step by step. Latest election, 1 April 2012, is free and fair election, there will be no more by election than that. International community also satisfied about that. The first and biggest thing President U Thein Sein has done change step by step. He is not revolutionist but he is reformist (Not Revolution but Evolution). Let’s count some change that we can see
1. Released Political Prisoners
2. Lead the election free and fair
3. Communicate to International Society (Ease Sanction)
4. Convince NLD and International Community
5. Reconciliation With Rebels
6. Open wider door for media and press
