THE Tatmadaw is striving for ethnic armed organizations to totally reach the path of peace and building a political system, we all unitedly aspire, with goodwill, said Patron of Myanmar War Veterans Organization Chairman of the State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing at the second-day session of MWVO Conference 2021 at the headquarters of the MWVO in Dekkhinathiri Township of Nay Pyi Taw Council Area yesterday morning.
In his speech, the Senior General
said the Myanmar War Veterans Organization was formed with the aim of
participating in the tasks of Our Three Main National Causes and socio-economic
development of the ethnic people, serving as the reserve force of the Tatmadaw
in national defence and security measures, helping war veteran members each
other in unison and joining in the State welfare tasks.
The MWVO is constituted of region
and state war veterans’ organizations and township level organizations. Those
war veterans had served the duties assigned by the State for the nation and the
people with the sacrifice of life and limb. As the organization is formed with
those who served as disciplined Tatmadaw members, it is a reliable one for the
State and the Tatmadaw.
The Tatmadaw which emerged in the
demand of the history in the independence struggle is a single patriotic
Tatmadaw. The emergence of the Burma Independence Army (BIA) led by General
Aung San together with 30 comrades was to open the independence door of
Myanmar.
Hence, the current Tatmadaw took
the lessons from the weakness in the past of Myanmar history and is shaping a
modern patriotic, powerful capable Tatmadaw. In so doing war veterans from the
organization since their establishment have been serving the assigned duties
under the leadership of the Tatmadaw.
Nowadays, the Tatmadaw took the
State responsibilities in time by politically declaring the state of emergency
due to the fact that those who forcibly grasped the State power with committing
voting frauds in the 2020 multiparty democracy general election. During the
period, the Tatmadaw is implementing the Five-Point Road Map step by step.
Turning a blind eye to the
realities of the Tatmadaw taking the responsibilities under the Constitution,
local and external saboteurs commit instigations to wedge the Tatmadaw and the
people and incitement to break the country up with the weakness of the
Tatmadaw. Hence, it is necessary to fight against them under the law.
At present, the war veterans’
organization which is the reserve force of the Tatmadaw are conscientiously
serving the national defence and security measures of the country. It can be
seen that some persons with different attitudes in some areas commit
incitements to hate the Tatmadaw and terror attacks on the retired Tatmadaw
members. It is necessary to prevent these acts under security awareness and
conscience and public cooperation. The Senior General expressed his
acknowledgement and condolences for the death and injuries of war veterans in
the events of terrorist attacks.
The reserve force law was enacted
for a military servant enjoying the rights of resignation from the military
service term or retirement to join the reserve force. If necessary,
arrangements will be made for exercising these laws.
War veterans need to cooperate with
relevant township level organizations, social organizations and the people in
carrying out the practical organizational tasks. They have to participate in
the nation-building tasks with the spirit of Once a Soldier, Always a Soldier.
The Tatmadaw is providing aid to
the Tatmadaw members who lost limbs in discharging the State and the Tatmadaw
duties and families of the Tatmadaw members who sacrificed their lives. Retired
Tatmadaw members and families are settled at Karuna Gabar Home for the Aged and
advanced housings for war veterans in regions and states. More buildings are
underway. After retirement, the Tatmadaw members who lost their limbs in
discharging the State and the Tatmadaw duties are under training at the
Tatmadaw vocational training schools. Emphasis is being placed on the education
of the families of the Tatmadaw members as well as enhance of educational
qualification of the Tatmadaw members. National reconciliation is essential for
the peace and stability of the country. The Tatmadaw is striving for ethnic
armed organizations to totally reach the path of peace and building a political
system, we all unitedly aspire, with goodwill.
The Tatmadaw free from impunities
is serving the national political duty deemed to the State demand. War veterans
need to make utmost efforts to successfully implement five sectors and seven
future tasks. They have to uphold the Our Three Main National Causes and firmly
stand as a reserve force of the Tatmadaw in national defence and security
measures.
Chairman of Myanmar War Veterans
Central Executive Committee Lt-Gen Sein Win (Retd) presented cash assistance
for disabled war veterans, offspring of war veterans and offspring of war
veterans learning at defence services academies.
Then, the Senior General cordially
greeted the war veterans after posing for documentary photos with Myanmar War
Veterans Central Executive Committee members.
