New European Residents in Ne Win’s Old Neighborhood of Villains
By AUNG ZAW / THE IRRAWADDY| Saturday, May 31, 2014 |

The old Ady Road, where Burma’s late dictator Gen Ne Win once lived, has witnessed ups and downs during the country’s history. During his rule, the grand and leafy residences on Rangoon’s famous Inya Lake were heavily guarded and soldiers wouldn’t allow any visitors in the area.

After Ne Win’s fall from power and his death in 2002, the area lost much of its allure, but access remained largely restricted and even today parts are closed off with a stop sign and a police checkpoint. The former strongman’s relatives and daughters continue to live there and own several properties on Ady Road, which has since been renamed May Kha Road.

Well done the EU, thank you so much for bringing your 'gravy train' to Myanmar to join the other useless idiots at UNICEF and WHO who do such good work here in Myanmar.angry.gif
