New Year Wishes from artists and artistes

 

Tekkatho Myat Thu

ANCIENT literary geniuses composed poems about Myanmar’s New Year at the end of the Thingyan Festival. Our country, rich in natural resources, will emerge as a prosperous nation in Asia if it is united and peaceful. People call Myanmar an “Asian tiger”. We are not just an ordinary tiger but a mighty one. We need a united mindset and to value our country if we want to develop. Since 40 million years ago, humanoid living beings have been roaming what is now the Pontaung Ponnya region. So, it can be said that the human race began in Myanmar. There are also Padalin Caves in Ywangan Township, which hosts evidence of Stone Age culture. This is historical evidence. Our country has a prestigious history.

We need a united effort to develop our nation. I would like to request Union-born ethnic nationalities to usher in the New Year with a wish for unity, peace, prosperity, and the perpetuity of our religion for Myanmar.

May the people of Myanmar be safe, happy, and peaceful!

Filmmaker Kyi Soe Tun (Chairperson, Myanmar Motion Pictures Organization)

I wish Myanmar citizens and Union-born ethnic nationalities a pleasant New Year. The film industry relies on people. So, it is my heartfelt wish for our citizens to have a serene New Year and for our country to be peaceful and prosperous.

Filmmaker Pachi Soe Moe

MAY everyone have a blessed New Year. May people work towards the nation, religion, and common good. May Union-born ethnic nationalities be united like brothers. May Myanmar stand tall. May both Myanmar and the world be peaceful and prosperous.

Actress Daw Nwe Nwe San

I wish Myanmar people a safe and happy life. May your businesses thrive and overcome obstacles. May people from the entertainment industry get more jobs. I believe art is for the country. I have been working for the country for 85 years. May all the citizens overcome the three catastrophes.

Actress Daw Pale

MAY all the citizens enjoy a pleasant time. May all the people in the film industry be happy. I starred in seven films with U Win Oo. I began my film career in 1975 with a Thingyan-themed film, “ Chitthu Kyinthu Myatnoethu”. It was aired on TV recently, so it brought back all the memories. I wish Myanmar to be as serene and prosperous as the Thingyan water.
