Major-General Toe Yi (my|တိုးရီ) is a Burmese military officer who is currently serving as Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, and previously served as a military intelligence chief responsible for the State Administration Council's interrogation centres.[1]
Toe Yi graduated from the Officers Training School, Bahtoo in 1989, alongside Ye Win Oo, as part of the 77th intake.[2]
Toe Yi advanced his career by becoming the deputy head of the Office of the Chief of Military Security Affairs (OCMSA), the country's intelligence agency, where he was responsible for domestic intelligence operations.
