Oh--Mahn Thet San passed away in 2008.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahn_Thet_San
He was a close friend of one of my brothers in law--
I used to tease him when he had nothing to do at the Burma Research Inst? but boil glue from water buffalo horn--
As in --ah kyan kone, galone sar chett.
Out of ideas, the garuda boils salt.
I'm sad to find out he passed away.
