Myanmar's father of independence, Bogyoke Aung San and other national leaders who were key figures in the national independence movement will be commemorated on July 19, the day of their assassinations.

Radio stations across Myanmar will air nationalistic songs, not commonly heard since the independence movement and will also broadcast live-to-air talk shows discussing Bogyoke Aung San's biography, as well details about the independence movement.

Began FM, Cherry FM, Mandalay FM and Padamyar FM will all be focusing on nationalistic themes on the day.

U Than Htay Zaw, General Manager from Cherry FM said: "The old men think the young people don't respect Martyr's Day. Actually they do and that's why we will talk about their feelings on air."
