This article is about a person, place, or concept whose name is originally rendered in the Burmese script; however the article does not have that version of its name in the article's lead paragraph. Anyone who is knowledgeable enough with the original language is invited to assist in adding the Burmese script.
- In addition, depending on the subject matter, the name may also need to be rendered in other local languages, such as Shan or Karen, and help of this nature is greatly appreciated and most welcomed.
For more information, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Burmese).

I'm Prof.Hla Yee Yee, U Ba Htay's daughter. I wish to point out that your information about my father's background is incorrect. Whilst it is true that he was Chairman of the Boy Scouts Commission, he was never a miner in Mogok. He started as a Tutor in Rangoon University,but that was for a brief period. After he became an ICS (Indian Civil Service) , he was always referred to as 'ICS U Ba Htay'; one of very few elite administrators in the government. Throughout his life, he was an administrator; referred to as 'One of the brightest stars in the administrative sky' in the publication dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the founding of Rangoon University. He held posts such as Commissioner of Settlement & Land Records, Financial Commissioner, Chairman of Burmah Oil Company (when the government took over 51% shares from the BOC). After retirement in 1963, he was brought back onto the public scene as Chairman, Multi Part Democracy Election Commission in 1988, after nation-wide protests , with a demand for a free and fair election . |

- I have removed the references to the gemstone miner, apparently that's a different Ba Htay.
- I hope you will provide more information about your father, and thank you! Chris 02:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
