54th Anniversary of Martyrs' Day of Burma

54 years ago on July 19, 1947 at approximately 10:37am

the national hero and architect of Burma's independence, General Aung San and seven other cabinet ministers were assassinated by a group of armed men in uniform while they were holding a cabinet meeting at what was known as 'The Secretariat' in downtown Rangoon. This tragic event has remained in the hearts of the people of Burma as a great loss. ..even to this very day..
and because being a Burmese despite being descendent of chinese heritage, I remembered this day..and pay my tribute to our inspiring LEADER!
Dear SIR, I salute to thee!
