As
a gesture of hailing the 71st Union Day, the Myanmar Writers Club organized a
poem recitation and singing for peace event at the Maha Bandoola Park in
downtown Yangon yesterday.
The
ceremony was opened with singing of “Let all flowers blossom” and writers
joined in chorus. Writers and poets recited poems for peace.
“Peace
is very important for the country. Public is very interested in recitation of
real poem for peace. The poems recited today include poems of Sayargyi Thakin
Kodaw Hmaing to contemporary poems. The culture of poem recitation is rooted in
Myanmar,” said Gone Duu U Thein Naing, Patron of the Myanmar Writers Club.
“The
first step is very important for our journey to the peace. In this journey, we
want to participate in the efforts for peace. This is the reason why we hold
this event,” said Saya Kaung Thant, Chairman of the Myanmar Writers Club.
“When
all the people demand peace in unison, all stake holders for peace making would
understand the desire of the people and success would be achieved in the 21st
century Panglong,” he added. The event becomes the first activity of the club
in 2018.
