Everybody in Burma will know Maung Aye. He is the commander of eastern command after 1988 military coup. As soon as new junta got power in 1988, Maung Aye planned to control of Shan State step by step. Before he was in power in Shan State, Shan State governer should be Shan man according to promise of Takin Aung San, national Architect of Burma Union. Muang Aye think that Aung San is not competant. After Maung Aye stepped in as governor of Shan State, he started to plan to shift the wealth owned by Shan people to his brumese fellow business men to counter Aung San 's promise of Shan State should be governed by Shan people and the wealth of Shan State should be in the hand of Shan people. The First step was to made his son Aung Ko Win to became rich man by giving him most of profitable contracts. After Maung Aye's 7 years contorl of Shan State, 90% of Shan Economy was controlled by Aung Ko Win and his burmese associates. Muang Aye also ordered his Burmese Soliders and Aung Ko Win to rape Shan Women. Maung Aye also no happy with Khin Nyunt's idea of to pay some right to pay some right to national minorities. Muang Aye also not happy charefire agreement with Wa Army. Also jealous about the wealth of Wa and Shan people collected by drug trade. After 1998, Maung Aye ordered his army to participate in drug trade. To control drug trade, Muang Aye first idea is to coorporate with Wa army. Maung Aye ordered Burmese Military offier to collect tax from Wa Army if Wa Army want to carry drug to Burma Thailand border controll by Burmese Army. Muang Aye and his officers and his business man Aung Ko Win collected tax and brides from Wa Army . Muang Aye ordered his officers and Aung Ko Win , to invest income from drug trade in Singapore and central Burma. Muang Aye ordered Aung Ko Win to deposit drug money in Singapore bank and buy apartments and housings in Singapores. After 10 years of collection of tax from Wa Army, Maung Aye new idea is to fight Wa using drug war to keep silent his book with Wa. Maung Aye 'plan is to fight Wa . He is very clever. But we must have understand what Muang Aye did in his era. We should not forgive what Maung Aye and his Aung Ko Win and his officers did in Muang Aye era. We must have to study forward even after 100 years after Maung Aye step dwon from power.
We must to understand and compare who is Aung San and who is Maung Aye. We do know that Aung San is Architect of Union of Burma .
Who is Maung Aye?
History will show ! Muang Aye is notorious Drug Trafficker who colonized Shan State under the name of Union of Burma .
