About Singu Min

  • Singu Min (Burmese: ???????????, pronounced [s???gú m?´?]; 10 May 1756 – 14 February 1782) was the fourth king of the Konbaung dynasty of Myanmar.
  • The king, who came to power amid controversy, largely put an end to his father Hsinbyushin's policy of territorial expansion, which had severely depleted the kingdom's manpower and resources.
  • He stopped his father's latest war against Siam at his accession, effectively ceding Lan Na to the Siamese.
  • Likewise, he took no action when the Laotian states stopped paying tribute in 1778.
  • The only campaigns were in Manipur, where the Burmese army was forced to put down four rebellions throughout his reign. The king is best remembered for the 22,952-kilogram (50,600 lb) Maha Ganda Bell which he donated in 1779.
  • Singu was overthrown on 6 February 1782 by his cousin Phaungka, and was executed by his uncle Bodawpaya eight days later.
