[edit] Inaccuracies

1) The coats of arms shown in the article was apparently not that of Sao Shwe Thaik. It was that of the socialist government led by U Ne Win (1962-1998) that toppled the parlimentary government led by U Nu (1948-1962) of which Sao Shwe Thike was the head of the state. The pinion and the paddy crops are apparently the symbols for socialism. (Somehow, this coats of arms is still being used by the present military government of Maynmar.)

2) Sao Shwe Thaik was not the head of the state during the whole period of 1948-1962. There was another person named Mun Win Maung (an ethnic Karin) who served as the president (head of the state) of Myanmar for some years (although I don't exactly remember from where to where).
