KALAR GYI at the back was almost forgotten. Now DASSK is at the TOP, naturally MUST kick out the scaffolding (Nyan in Burmese) after finishing the pagoda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That Kalar Gyi went to fetch DASSK with the car driven by another Kalar, MMNyein. Now only I found out (proudly) that they are my extended cousins or far relatives. Even if think that it is so far to call an extended relative or family, at least we all are brothers-in-Islam but nowadays called with a derogatory name Kalar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even his cousin, famous father of Myanmar western and tradition boxing (Let Whei\u2019), Kyar Ba Nyein<\/a>\u2019s very important role in Myanmar sports history was partly deleted because he was a Myanmar Muslim. See Lethwei<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Dr. Ko Ko Gyi,
I accidently read about my father written in your blog. My I correct a mistake. My maternal grandmother Daw Aye Khin was the eldest sister of Daw Htwe, your grandpa\u2019s wife.So my father was not the brother in law of U Pyaw.He was his niece\u2019s ( my mom Daw Kyi Kyi) husband.So he was U Pyaw\u2019s nephew.
Regards,
Win Nyein<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TQ
U Win Nyein
I have read a lot of the articles written by you and your father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good work. Actually I am proud of you to be my relative (far or near is nothing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TQ for confirming our relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you visit KL please call us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can ask our phone No and address from my mother or brother U KKHtay Chief Engineer, former Nikko hotel or Cardiac Surgeon Dr KM Htway, you had met in Bangkok. (Now he is in KL, staying with us,for Cardiac Surgery training  at IJN or National Cardiac Institute, for one year.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Famous boxer Kyar (Tiger) Ba Nyein was the Brother-in-law of my Grandfather U Pyaw. Actually U Pyaw was the eldest brother of my maternal grand mother Daw Kyawt. After my parents bought their house at No. 158, 30th. street, between 82nd. and 83rd. street, U Pyaw and family shifter to a rented house on 83rd. street between 29th.& 30th. street. They later stayed in a house in 31st. street, between 82nd & 83rd. street near Myo Gone Yong Cinema. Thy stayed at the ground floor of the two storey house. And Kyar  Ba Nyein, his brother-in-law and family lived upstairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We used to that house regularly especially at weekends and school holidays to learn Quran reading from our grandpa U Pyaw. Now I regret that we never get a chance to befriend with Kyar  Ba Nyein\u2019s family just staying upstairs. Now U Pyaw and Kyar  Ba Nyein passed away. May Allah bless their souls and reserve a place in paridise for them. I heard that my aunt (my mother\u2019s cousin. Note: my mother is the only child of my grandma.) Ma Aye is staying with U Win Nyein\u2019s family. (Son of Kyar  Ba Nyein)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyar (Tiger) Ba Nyein was also a very prominent Myanmar Muslim. He was known to be a great boxer, and had even represented Burma in the Olympics. He had successfully trained a lot of boxers. And he had rejuvenated the Myanmar traditional boxing. He was a famous writer also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His son U Win Nyein is also a prominent Journalist. U Chit Nyo, brother of Kyar Ba Nyein is also a famous writer. Myo  pre=\u201dMyo \u201c>Myint Nyein was the editor of Payphuhlwar, a former monthly magazine in Burma. Awarded the International Press Freedom Award in absentia by the Toronto-based Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE). He is the brother of Win Nyein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
