Thakin Mya (Burmese: သခင်မြ, pronounced [θəkʰɪ̀ɰ̃ mja̰]; 7 October 1897 – 19 July 1947) was a Burmese lawyer and politician who served as the Minister of Home Affairs and in June 1947 transferred as Minister of Finance in Myanmar's pre-independence government.[1] Mya and six other cabinet ministers (including Prime Minister Aung San) were assassinated on 19 July 1947 in Yangon. He was unofficially considered as Deputy Prime Minister in Aung San 's Cabinet.[2] July 19 is commemorated each year as the Martyrs' Day in Myanmar.
The Thakin Mya Park in Yangon is named after Thakin Mya.[citation needed]
