A nationalist writer, Maung Thway Chun, hailed a monk as hero in an article published in Tha Gyi Thway journal publish on 27. Myine Gyi Ngu monk U Thumana has supervised building of a pagoda in the compound of a Church in Myine Gyi Ngu region in Kayin State. In the article, Maung Thway Chun said Churches were built on land own by Buddhist. British while they occupied Myanmar set a goal of spreading Christianity. Even though weak people had let the religious land to be occupied by Christians, but a saint like Myine Gyi Ngu has stood up and built pagoda to highlights the fact that these lands were previously belong to the Buddhists”. Maung Thway Chun in his article reacted to criticism against Myine Gyi Ngu monk in an article published in The Voice journal on 16 January 2017. The columnist Ko Min Maung wrote in his article with the title “The tidal blows during 2016” that Christians has not reacted to attempt by Myine Gyi Ngu monk to incite religious violence by building pagoda in Church. In early April 2016, Buddhist religious flags were planted inside the compound of Anglican Church in Kun Taw village in Hline Bwe Township in Kayin State and a group of Buddhists built pagoda inside the Church compound on 23 April. Similarly, a pagoda was built inside a Church in Kunbi village in Hline Bwe Township in December 2015. In other event, on 25 April 2016, a pagoda was built overnight near the place close to the Mosque in Shwe Gun village in Hline Bwe Township, with the reason that Myine Gyi Ngu monk has dreamt about building a pagoda in that area. Earlier, on 23 March same year a Buddha statue was buried on the site where the pagoda was built. Maung Thway Chun has criticised the Nationalist League for Democracy for not nominating Muslim among the candidates it field for the elections, he said the move was discriminatory. In a seemingly double standard approach by the writer, he is calling the monk who built pagoda in the religious sites belong to minority religions as hero.
