Mr. Nai Htin, President of NMSP (New Mon State Party),

passed away at 6:50 a.m. (Burma time) early morning at

the New Mon State Party’s Central Office in Moulmein

(Mawlamyaing), the capital of Mon State, according to

In-charge of NMSP Liaison Office Nai Ba Khaing.

 

He died with blood cancel, narrow vein and

hypertension. He is eight-five years old and born in

Lat Tat village in Mudon Township of Mon State on 1st

April 1921 during the British ruled Burma.

 

Recently he was treated at Kwai River Christian

Hospital in Sangkhlaburi, Kanchanaburi Province of

Thailand for many weeks before he went back to

Moulmein. He has to take blood transfusion on a weekly

basis in hospital as he lost ‘white blood’ for blood

cancer in his body. 

 

His corpse remains at NMSP Central Office in Moulmein,

and the Party’s Central Executive Committee members

will discuss for arrangement of the funeral ceremony,

Nai Ba Khaing added.

 

“He knows that he will die soon. He told us that he

wanted to die in the liberated areas before he died.

This is why we transported or sent him to Moulmein,”

he added.

 

In 2003, on 7th March, after Nai Shwe Kyin, former

President of NMSP, passed way, he became the President

of NMSP for two years taking responsibility for 40

years old armed revolution political party.

 

He involved into the Mon political movement since the

establishment “United Mon Association” led by the

first Mon politician, Nai Pho Cho, during

pre-Independence of Burma.  Later he also joined the

armed revolutionary under the leadership of Mon People

Front (MPF).   After 1962 Gen. Ne Win took a coup in

Rangoon, he joined the New Mon State Party, which was

formed by Nai Shwe Kyin.

 

“Even it can not confirm that who will be a new

chairman in NMSP currently, it seems that

Vice-President No. 1, Nai Htaw Mon will take over as a

new President,” according a Mon political observer.
