Yangon Secretariat or Ministers' Building (Slideshow) / ဝန်ကြီးများရုံး (Yangon / ရန်ကုန်)
The Ministers' Building / ဝန်ကြီးများရုံး (also called the Ministers' Office, formerly The Secretariat or Secretariat Building) was the home and administrative seat of British Burma, in downtown Yangon, Burma. Built in the late 1800s, the structure is more than 120 years old. It was where Aung San and 6 cabinet ministers were assassinated on 19 July 1947, now commemorated as Burmese Martyrs' Day. The building is currently on the Yangon City Heritage List and completely abandoned. It occupies an entire city block, bounded by Anawrahta Road to the north, Theinbyu Road to the east, Maha Bandula Road to the south and Bo Aung Kyaw Street to the west.
The central building was completed in 1902, while the complex's eastern and western wings were finished in 1905, at the cost of 2.5 million kyats. Until 1972, the complex was called the Government Secretariat.
In 2011, amid national discussions on converting Yangon's colonial-era buildings to attract tourism, there are tentative plans to convert the Ministers' Building into a museum, not a hotel.
In February 2012, 7 local companies and 3 foreign companies submitted a proposal to the Myanmar Investment Commission (MIC) to convert the Ministers' Building into a Martyrs' Museum, Culture aspect and Theme park.

Yangon's Secretariat building opens for 2015 Burmese Martyrs' Day | Coconuts TV
The British Colonial Secretariat building in Yangon is normally closed for renovation. But for the second year in a row, it opened to one and all to mark the July 19, 1947 assassination of several independence leaders.
At 10:37am on Sunday, people in Yangon bowed heads, while cars stopped and honked horns. Why? They were remembering the 1947 assassination of several independence leaders, including the father of Aung San Suu Kyi.

Architectural Legacy of Colonial Rangoon (Yangon)
Features pictures taken during a brief visit in November 2015. The book: '30 Heritage Buildings of Yangon: Inside the City That Captured Time' is a good starting point, but there is plenty more to look at than the buildings singled out by the authors. The Balthazar Building, for example, has been featured by a number of journalists, and is every bit as derelict and creepy as I expected. In any other part of the world, this building would have been demolished long ago, but it still provides a rudimentary home for a number of families and small businesses.
The change of government will hopefully bring lots of foreign investment into Myanmar, but the fear is that this process will accelerate the bulldozing of countless heritage buildings in order to provide modern homes and offices for these deserving people. I suspect that in 20 years time, apart from the cathedrals and a few iconic civic buildings, only a small proportion of the total seen in this video will still be standing.
PS - this is not an attempt to show all the sights of Yangon - there are no pagodas, for example, these being adequately covered by other film makers.
The Secretariat in Yangon - a tragic place
In this video I take a walk around as well as a tour inside the Secretariat building in Yangon - once the seat of British colonial power in what was then called Burma. In modern Myanmar it is better known as the location of one of the country's greatest tragedies - the assassination of Bogyoke Aung San in 1947. You can see a lot more details about the secretariat's history as well as information about it's surrounding area by watching this video.

Myanmar FM responds to questions on Aung San Suu Kyi - 2003
1. Junichiro Koizumi, Japanese Prime Minister, receiving General Khin Nyunt, Myanmar Prime Minister
2. Various, meeting between Koizumi and Khin Nyunt
3. Khin Nyunt walking out of the meeting with Koizumi
4. SOUNDBITE (English): Win Aung, Myanmar Foreign Minister:
Q: The issue of Miss Suu Kyi, did it come out as a topic with Mr Koizumi?
We discussed our 'roadmap' to democracy and our prime minister explained to the prime minister of the steps we are taking in our country, and the National Convention, and what we are trying to do to build a nation, and a democratic nation. And so all the topics are covered, let us stop here ok?
5. SOUNDBITE (English): Win Aung, Myanmar Foreign Minister:
Q: How about the 'roadmap'?
The 'roadmap' is very important for our country, the transformation of our country into a democratic state. We have to take it step by step, systematically. This is a seven-step 'roadmap' which was announced by our prime minister on the 30th of August and now we are implementing this 'roadmap'
6. SOUNDBITE (English): Win Aung, Myanmar Foreign Minister:
Q: And this democracy, will it come very soon?
Everything is, you know, we are working for the best.
7. Various, protest calling for democracy in Myanmar
8. SOUNDBITE (English): Kyaw Kyaw Soe, League for Democracy in Burma:
He came to Japan and appealed to Prime Minister Koizumi to give economic assistance to Burma. He said, when the Japan agents will come to Burma, Burma will be developed. But the real problem is in Burma. They create the whole problem of the Burmese, so we are protesting here against, not to give the economic aid to Burma.
9. Wide shot, protest
STORYLINE:
Myanmar Prime Minister General Khin Nyunt outlined his regime's 'roadmap' to democracy in a meeting with the Japanese Premier Junichiro Koizumi on Friday, shortly after the conclusion of the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit in Tokyo.
Multinational talks on military-ruled Myanmar's 'roadmap' are due to be hosted by Thailand next week.
Representatives from 10 countries in Asia and Europe are scheduled to attend the December 15 forum in Bangkok.
It is expected to be the first in a series of meetings.
Myanmar Deputy Foreign Minister Khin Maung Win and ministers from Japan, Australia and European Union countries will attend the Bangkok session.
Khin Nyunt unveiled the seven-point plan in August. It outlines plans for free elections and a new government.
However, he declined to give details or a timeframe for when the plan would be implemented.
Japan had been Myanmar's largest aid donor, but relations between the two have cooled over the past several months.
Japan suspended economic assistance in June after the military government detained Myanmar's democratic leader Aung San Suu Kyi following a clash between her supporters and a pro-junta mob on May 30.
In September she was transferred to her lakeside villa in the capital, Yangon, where she remains under house arrest.
Myanmar's ruling junta seized power in 1988 after crushing a pro-democracy uprising. It held elections in 1990 but refused to honour the results when Suu Kyi's party won by a huge majority.
At an ASEAN summit on the Indonesian island of Bali in October, Koizumi pressed Khin Nyunt to release the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Though Yangon insists the issue is a domestic matter, Tokyo has said it won't resume aid until it sees progress in the restoration of democracy in Myanmar.
ASEAN's members are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
