[4]: 98 In 1930, a musician from Mandalay named Saya Tin went to Rangoon and contacted the Thakins to write a new national anthem together.

On 19 July 1930, the Dobama Song was sung for the first time in a reading room of Thaton Hostel.

On 20 July 1930, it was sung with a ceremony with a huge public crowd inside U San Tun Hall at the Rahu corner of Shwedagon Pagoda.

After that the Dobama Asiayone received a lot of invitations to come and sing the song.

The Thakins tried to establish a tradition of singing Dobama Song in every meeting and ceremony.

[6] Since then, Burmese nationalist sang Dobama Song instead of God Save the King.

[4]: 99 On 18 June 1989, the State Law and Order Restoration Council (the ruling military junta at the time) ordered to change the word ဗမာ (ALA-LC: Bamā) to မြန်မာ (ALA-LC: Mranʻmā) in the lyrics of the national anthem, insisting that the former refers only to Bamar people, while the latter represents all the national races.

[10] In fact, both words mean either Burma (Myanmar) or Burman (Bamar people).

[11] According to the 2008 Constitution of Myanmar, the complete version of the national anthem is specified as consisting of both the traditional Burmese style and Western-style sections.
