Ye Myint (Burmese: ရဲမြင့်) was the chief minister of Mandalay Region, Myanmar, from 2011 to 2016. He is a former lieutenant general in the Myanmar Army and former chief of Military Affairs Security.[1]
A member of the Union Solidarity and Development Party, he was elected to represent Pyinoolwin Township Constituency No. 2 as a Mandalay Region Hluttaw representative in the 2010 Burmese general election.[2]
In January 2014, a convoy carrying Ye Myint and two other regional ministers was hit by a landmine attack, at Naungcho, on the Mogok-Pyinoolwin highway, on the way back to Mandalay.[citation needed] On 19 April 2014, Ye Myint's Mandalay home caught fire, caused by an overheated surge protector connected to an air conditioning unit.[3] On 22 April 2014, he was charged under Article 285 of the Myanmar Penal Code for negligence in a fire.
