Dr. Maung Maung served in a legal capacity in General Ne Win's caretaker government from 1958-1960. Following Ne Win's 1962 military coup; Maung Maung became Chief Justice and; although a civilian; was a prominent member of the central committee of the BSPP. He played a large part in shaping the 1974 constitution and subsequent changes to the judicial system.
On 19 August 1988; amidst a series of large-scale demonstrations; the People's Assembly declared Maung Maung President and Chairman of the BSPP. Anti-government demonstrations continued and widespread disruptions resulted in another military coup led by Saw Maung on 18 September 1988.
After his brief spell in power in 1988; Maung Maung disappeared from the public eye; although it was rumoured that he helped draft the election law governing the 1990 general election. Pictures From History
