Good Bye, Burmese Friends Going Home!
Dr Maung Maung Nyo
We have a dinner this 14th Saturday
To say farewell to friends from Mandalay
They are going home after three years’ stay
They have been in Kuching working for a better pay.

Some of them we knew in Burma
Others we knew only in Malaysia
But we have been like brothers now
Burmans become bosom friends out bound.

UNIMAS had only one Burman teacher
When it started medical programme here
Now many Burmese have come and gone
My wife and I are still going strong.
(L to R: Drs Htin Kyaw, Sein Win, Sabai Soe Maung, Hla Hla Myint,
Kyi Kyi Thein, Nyunt Lwin)
Many Burmese doctors are working in Malaysia
Almost every medical college has a Burmese teacher
Most experienced and talented ones work here
It’s the Burma’s loss and Malaysia’s gain so clear.

Marci or Mrs MM Ohn, Dr Sein Win)
Maung Maung Ohn is a physician
He specializes in internal medicine
He has a charming wife with a grin
They share their food without sting.
(L to R: Drs Sein Win, Kyi Kyi Thein, Nyunt Lwin)
Dr Nyunt Lwin is an anaesthetist
He saves patients in critical unit
But he is so cool and courteous
His better half makes him smart.
(L to R: Daw Phyu Phyu or Mrs Sein Win, Drs: Lucy Kyaw Mya,
Htwe Htwe Sein, Tin Moe Nwe, Sabai Soe Maung, Hla Hla Myint)
Dr Sein Win is a general surgeon
With a white heart and a swarthy skin
People laugh and smile when meet him
He cracks jokes and satires at his whim.

Daughter MM Ohn, Dr Sein Win, Dr Kyi Kyi Thein,

Now that they are leaving
We feel like as needing
Something to fill our lives
Fresh friends shall fill the voids.
(Dr Aye Aye Aung Delivering a Lively Speech)
“Good Bye! Fond friends from Burma
We all have lived and worked happily here
Convey our best wishes to our friends in Burma
We all shall meet again after our tenure in Malaysia."
