(Note: Since AOI Conference in October, after meeting and discussing among Sai Htwe Maung, Sai
Stephen, Ong Siew Huat and Low Yeow Mooi, all agreed that, in the future, concerning Shan mission
work among the Shan in Eastern Shan State, AOI would work directly with Sai Stephen instead of
going through Sai Htwe Maung. The reason was Sai Stephen was experienced enough to continue the
work independently)
