From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

U Ba Htay is a Burmese gemstone miner, Chairman of the Multi-Party Democracy General Election Commission and one of the pioneers of the now-extinct Scouting movement in Burma.

U Ba Htay, representing the Union of Burma Boy Scouts was elected one of the very earliest chairmen of the five-man Far East Scout Advisory Committee (FESAC), which would later become the Asia-Pacific Region, and served from 1958 to 1960.

U Ba Htay started mining for rubies in Mogok in 1964.
