Share Share on Twitter Burmese-Australian George Than Setkyar Heine (84) recalls his time in Burma before the military seized power the first time. “That was a golden age: 1948 to 1962, I was a student at the time.  We have all the freedom,  all the rights; nobody is above the law, everybody is fine and happy,” he recalls. Myanmar gained independence from British rule in 1948. Burmese films redounded far beyond its border after independence. The country’s education system was among the best in Asia, and it was looking to be a promising economy in the region. But on 2 nd March 1962, when George was a fourth-year medical student, the military seized power in a coup against the civilian government. He says people didn’t realise for a few months what just had happened.
