GRAPE VINE
Who really killed General Aung San and his cabinet members?
One of the prescribed textbooks in our 7th grade,"little Birds Behind Bars" by Lu Du U Hla contains the story about the assassination of Gen. Aung San with the attempt on the life of U Saw.
Since then I was thinking all along why,as a people, the Burmese masses could not prevent the death of our hero Gen. Aung San, and this has been felt as a deep frustration by Burmese people especially on Martyr's Days (19th.July).
The story unfolded and opened my eyes wide with disbelief in the beginning, but upon closer scrunity I found it to be true-that was when I became close friends with Yebaw Mya Hlaing! I shall relate for all humankind to know:
I was treating Yebaw Mya Hlaing as his family physician since 1988,and as a trusted friend he told me about his involvement in the selfish traitors General Ne Win and Aung Gyi's subversive plot. The cunning plan was to kill Aung San by a decietful approach-since U saw was Aung San's adversary,try and attempt on U saw's life, just to injure but not to kill him, and he (U Saw) will definitely retaliate by assassinating Aung San.
At this juncture, the two trusted deputies (Yangon Ba Swe & Yebaw Mya Hlaing) of Ne Win and Aung Gyi came into the picture- Ba Swe was an expert sharpshooter and he(Yebaw Mya Hlaing) followed ordered precisely. Then one day they followed U Saw's car wearing the uniforms of Aung San's personal troops and shot to injure U Saw. That was the beginning of their successful plot.
Of course Gen. Aung San and his cabinet members were killed by U saw's gunmen- but to make that happen was due to Ne Win and Aung Gyi's traitors underhand plot.
Ne Win with the help of Aung Gyi and his deputies murdered his own mentor General Aung San.
I could not publish this booklet on this story before Mya Hlaing's death; he would surely have been tortured and killed by Ne Win's stooges-the SLORC.
CONCLUSION:
1. Ne Win plotted the assassination of Gen. Aung San who was his rival.Ne Win knew the ability of U Saw, and what he would do if provoked, and planned his traitorous plot and succeded.( I am absolutely flabbergasted up to the present day about Ne Win's cunning plot to assasinate Gen. Aung san.)
2. Ne Win ordered Yangon Ba Swe & Yebaw Mya Hlaing to "make sure not to kill but only to injure U Saw. "Expert shooter Ba Swe's bullet only grazed the left temple of U Saw ( he went to India for treatment ). Whenever U Saw felt the pain over his face or scar his tantrums boiled and wanted to make revenge against Gen. Aung San, who knew nothing about the plot orchestrated by the cunning Ne Win.
3. It was later found out that the gun used to kill U Saw belonged to Ne Win.
4. U Mya Hlaing dare not to tell anyone in Burma, as he would surely be tortured and killed by Ne Win's stooges, particularly by the secret police chief Khin Nyunt.
5. Yangon Ba Swe and Mya Hlaing later regretted immensely about this plot resulting Gen. Aung San's death; they eventually refuse to take Ne Win's offering of good jobs.

P.S : May be this is one of the reasons why Ne Win always try to make sure that daughter of Gen. Aung San, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi could not come to power before his death.
