It’s likely, Khun Sa’s homcide was bumped off !
Khun Sa continued order his gun men to kill his rival, the quality leaders of the SSA Nationalists, 2 years after the killing of Col. Sam Mong and his comrades.
Col. Pan Aung, Sao Boon Dai, President of the Political wing in the party, and Sao Seng Han, Foreign Affairs, were consecutively killed by closerange gun-shot in downtown Chiang Mai.
Soe Zung and Sao Boon Dai, both had frequently denounced Khun Sa’s policy as it was similar to the policy of former Cambodian Leader Bhon Pot.
Similar death occurred in Mae Hong Son when Major Sam Lek and Major Sam Car, SSA section commanders ,were shot near their homes in Kar Harn village outskirts Mae Hong Son.
The last one to be killed was Col.Sai Lek who accepted Khun Sa’s invitation that to work for the combined forces under leaders of KhunSa and Moe Haing, whose Mong Tai Army (MTA) established on 3 March 1985.
After Moe Haing died in 1991, Sai Lek with his men moved to Mong Mai headquarter and stayed there for months- long only, he suffered serious illness for a week under intensive care by a Shan Medical Dr., who is the regular Doctor (forgot his name) at Ho Mong Headquarters.
He had been responsible for the killing of Col.Sai Lek as he was seen to have injected medicine into Sai Lek’s blood-stream.
Sai Lek died at 5 am ,according to his personal guadrs and his friends sitting around him.
VDO camera had recorded the incidence of Sai Lek’s situation, being under ill treatment of the Doctor, until his death.
It was beyond doubt that Khun Sa oredred the killing.
It could not believe that such a man with tough body ,aged a bout 45,was easily died by minor illness.
He, half India-half Shan, as battalion commander had been known as one of the most active in military operrations and wanted by the Government.
His armed struggle in the jungle as long as about 25 year and with much experience of a series of fightings against the Burmese army had always rejected cease-fire talks with the Burmese.
But when the SSA was undermined and in the situation of political turning point, Col. Sai Lek Coincidenly accepted Khun Sa’s offer which he never thought that would be dangerous to his life.
It was also miscount of the victim.
Another top leader wanted by the Burmese and remained to be slain was Sao Wai, the son of first President of Burma Sao Shwe Theik, moved to Canada with his family from Chieng Mai.
He had been also invited by Khun Sa twice to head politics in the party.
He quited the politics since Col. Sam Mong disappeared and living in Chieng Mai long time as ordinary people before leaving for Canada for good.
Between 1978-1996 (in the period of 17 years)
