Burma Tha Din: Exclusive! Interview with U Wai Linn


In light of the spat between Myanmar Times and Frontier Myanmar, Burma Tha Din obtained an exclusive interview with U Wai Linn, owner of the Myanmar Times, on condition it was not recorded.

BTD: Sir, can you tell us why you have published an article in your newspaper accusing Frontier Myanmar of fabricating an interview?

U Wai Linn: I woke up one morning feeling resentful that people don’t know the real me. They know I am a racist genocide denier who brown-noses the government, but there is more to me than that. By denying I did an interview even though there was a recording of the interview, people now know I am a liar and an idiot as well.

BTD: Thank you. Do you have anything else you want to add?

U Wai Linn: Yes, don’t even think of publishing this interview.
