January 30, 2018

THE Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and party went to Tachilek Shwedagon Pagoda in Tachilek town and erected Tipitaka stone pillars on the platform of the pagoda yesterday.

The commander-in-chief and party also donated and installed the diamond orb and pennant-shaped vane atop the Tachilek Shwedagon Pagoda.

On Monday, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing visited the Kengtung cantonment and met with training officers, other ranks and trainees of Tatmadaw High Grade Training School.

The Tatmadaw commander-in-chief said technical expertise is important in forming the Tatmadaw into a modern standard army and that is why the knowledge of Tatmadaw personnel is being enhanced. Similarly, the education level of the Tatmadaw’s family members is also being raised. On health care, not only the Tatmadaw personnel and their families but also the local populace are receiving access to health services. “It is important for all of us to maintain our physical fitness and to continually train to retain it,” said the Tatmadaw commander-in-chief.

To build up the capacity of the Tatmadaw personnel, training sessions are being provided on a systematic basis. Trainers need to be well versed in their respective subjects and trainees need to learn all that is being taught. Once the trainees are back in their units, they need to use the knowledge gained at the training sessions effectively, remarked the Tatmadaw commander-in-chief.

The Tatmadaw commander-in-chief then presented books and journals to the training school, where were received by the head of the school.
