Tatmadaw members should live and act in unity with the people

Chairman of the State Security and Peace Commission Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing yesterday morning met Tatmadaw members and families at Mya Ayeya Hall in Pyay Station under the Southern Command.

At the meeting, the Senior General delivered a speech, saying that it must always remain “fit for fight” in order for the Tatmadaw to serve its national defence duties.

He stressed that every Tatmadaw member must maintain good health and physical strength. Therefore, daily physical fitness activities must be regularly practised.

He spotted that the Tatmadaw is the most steadfast institution ensuring the State’s continued existence and must carry out national defence responsibilities hand in hand with the people. Therefore, Tatmadaw members should live and act in unity with the people.

He noted that courage is essential in combat. Tatmadaw members must apply the military skills they have been trained in and use them effectively on the battlefield with bravery in order to fight successfully.

Regarding welfare and well-being, he said that just as the Tatmadaw provides support for soldiers’ welfare, each individual must also manage their own income and expenses in a balanced and responsible manner.

The Senior General underlined that knowledge makes a good person, and skills make a capable person, emphasizing that formal education is necessary to develop knowledge. Efforts must be made to enhance knowledge, skills, and educational attainment, as education elevates an individual’s life. Therefore, they should regularly study books and literature that provide knowledge and stimulate thinking.

The Senior General emphasized that a multiparty democratic general election will be held in the near future. In voting, it is important to choose and support candidates who can respect and uphold their responsibilities, genuinely serve the interests of their region and the nation, participate effectively in legislative work, and work together with the Tatmadaw to promote the country’s welfare.

He pledged that after the election, the government that emerges will be entrusted with the nation’s responsibilities. Therefore, everyone should collectively work to ensure the successful conduct of a free and fair multiparty democratic general election.

Also, present at the meeting were Daw Kyu Kyu Hla, the wife of the Senior General; Secretary of the Commission General Ye Win Oo and his wife, Commander-in-Chief (Navy) Admiral Htein Win and his wife, Commander-in-Chief (Air) General Tun Aung, senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief and their wives, and the commander of Southern Command.

The Senior General presented foodstuffs for officers, other ranks and families of the station through the station commander while the wife of the Senior General gave financial aid for the station’s maternal and child welfare association to the wife of the station commander.

At the local Tatmadaw hospital, the Senior General comforted officers, other ranks and People’s Military Servants receiving medical treatments for injuries sustained in serving the State defence and security duties and asked about incidents of their injuries and healing the injuries individually and attended to their needs. He also asked about the requirements of the hospital and fulfilled the needs.

The wife of the Senior General also comforted families of Tatmadaw members receiving medical treatments at the female medical ward and presented foodstuffs.
