Afterwards

of the need for building bridges and roads for developing Kalay and repair of
farmlands destroyed by natural disasters. Sayar U Thaung Shwe made a

explained the strategies being implemented in supporting the afore mentioned

The

directly to the President’s Office and that the perpetrators will be swiftly
dealt with and, if found guilty, given corresponding punishment in accordance
with the law. The President stressed that there is no room for prejudice or
bribery in today’s world.
Although
efforts are being made in developing all regions of a new nation, not all
development projects can be done at the same time due to budget constraints,
and the government would like to request its citizens to have patience in the
government’s administration, as there are cases that can be dealt with
immediately while other cases require an extended period of time, the President
said.
The
President also urged all civil service personnel to diligently and dutifully
perform their assigned duties and responsibilities, and that it is not enough
for oneself alone to be correct but to monitor the surrounding people and
elevate those not in line so as to avoid harming the progress and livelihood of
other people, as doing so will also harm one’s future and that it is the
responsibility of all citizens to shoulder their responsibility with good
intentions, truthfulness and compassion.
Afterwards,
the President and entourage visited the Kalay Nursing and Midwifery Training
School. There, the headmistress explained the situation of the school and the

assistance to the school. Later he toured the school campus.
The
