A Burmese refugee, currently holding Australian citizenship told the Australian media that he had served in the Karen National Union (KNU) and had killed almost 50 people during his stint there. Saw Moon Sah, who is 44 years old served in KNU from 1984 to 1987 and was an undercover agent for the Burmese Military, before he was deported to Australia and took up Australian citizenship. Saw Moon Sah made these self proclamations of war crimes to the Sydney Morning Herald and also added that he was a Corporal during his time at the KNU. He stated that he took up Australian citizenship after resigning from the KNU in 1998 and coming to Brisbane in a third-country resettlement programme. This is the second disclosure of war crimes by Burmese nationals holding Australian citizenship in a month. The other being Htoo Htoo Han, another Australian citizen who claimed that he was working undercover with the MI6.

For the first time Australian immigration records will be available online on the site Ancestry.com.au. Information on Australian immigration will be available from the period 1788 to 1923. Records will be obtained from passenger lists, census and other documents bringing together 14.5 million journeys of Australian immigration.
The earliest Australian immigration was not much of a pleasure trip as it is today. They were long and arduous too.
The present chart will include Australian immigration by the ancestors of Nicole Kidman, Bridget and James Callachar, who landed in Sydney in January 1842. Australian immigration by Edson Ledger, great grandfather of Heath Ledger and cricket legend Don Bradman's grandfather in the 19th century are some of the legendary journeys undertaken.

A Burmese refugee with an Australian citizenship has claimed that he was involved in war crimes. This media disclosure by Saw Moon Sah, of Australian citizenship, was made to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Saw Moon Sah, the 44 year old Burmese refugee who is now of Australian citizenship has admitted to killing at least 50 people while he was working as an undercover Burmese military agent in the Karen National Union during the three year span from 1984 to 1987.
Before acquiring Australian citizenship, Saw Moon Sah resigned from the KNU in 1998 and was in a refugee camp till 2006 when he left it for Brisbane as a part of a third party settlement programme.
Till now these claims are unfounded as people who knew him find it difficult to believe. Right now he is not answering anyone's questions as he is busy consulting his lawyer and family.
According to Sein Lwin, former foreign ministry staff member in the Burmese embassy in Cambodia, the fact that Saw Moon Sah disclosed his crimes only after acquiring Australian citizenship is a dishonest move.
