PETALING JAYA: Dr Aye Maung and U Aye Thar Aung went back to Myanmar on Feb 7 to be greeted by a “hero’s welcome” following an attempt on their lives in downtown Kuala Lumpur.

Hundreds were on hand to greet the Arakanese political leaders with banners including one that read, “Islamic terrorists tried to kill our leaders but they escaped.”
