Thihathura Tin Aung Myint Oo (Burmese: တင်အောင်မြင့်ဦး [tɪ̀ɰ̃ àʊɰ̃ mjɪ̰ɰ̃ ʔú]; born 29 May 1950) is a Burmese former military official and politician who served as First Vice President of Burma from 30 March 2011 to 1 July 2012. He is also chairman of Burmese Trade Council, having been appointed in November 2007 by Than Shwe, in response to Saffron Revolution demonstrations in October of that year,[2] and Minister of Military Affairs.[3] He joined the Buddhist monkhood on 3 May, after speculation over his disappearance had circulated throughout news media.[4]
Military career
Tin graduated from the 12th intake of the Defence Services Academy and subsequently earned the title "Thihathura" in 1980 for fighting the Communist Party of Burma.[5] He was nominated into the State Peace and Development Council in 2007 as Secretary (1), replacing Thein Sein, and was promoted to general in March 2009.[5][6]
Political career
In the 2010 Burmese general election, he contested the Pobbathiri Township constituency and won a seat in the Pyithu Hluttaw, reportedly winning 90.57% of the votes.[5][7] Tin Aung Myint Oo was sworn in as a Vice-President on 30 March 2011, along with Sai Mauk Kham and thereafter vacated his parliamentary seat.[8] He is one of the wealthiest members in the former SPDC, and is well known for close ties with Zaw Zaw, a Burmese tycoon.[2][9] He formerly served as the chairman of Myanmar Economics Corporation (MEC), an conglomerate owned by the Burmese military.[10]
On 1 July 2012,[11] he submitted his resignation as Vice President, citing health reasons.[12]
