It is sad to learn that U Khin Thun, one of the Burmese well-known philatelist, passed away on 27 July 2021 at 7 PM in Meiktila. U Khin Tun, we called him Par Par Gyi, is the patron of the Myanmar Philatelic Society. When MPS was established, U Khin Tun was elected as the Vice President of the society. We personally met several times at his flat, had lunch together and talk about stamps. I am grateful for the literature of Burmese philately he shared with me, so I can started my study.
Par Par Gyi contributed many research works and articles in Burma Peacock and Burma Fantail philatelic journals. It is a great loss to Burmese Philatelic communities.My deepest condolences are with his family. May his soul rest in peace.
