Chairman of the State Administration Council
Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Thadoe Maha Thray Sithu
Thadoe Thiri Thudhamma Min Aung Hlaing delivered a speech at the passing out
parade of the 128th intake of Tatmadaw (Army) Officer Training School (Bahtoo)
at its parade ground yesterday morning.
Cadet companies saluted the Senior General who also inspected
the cadet companies.
The Senior General presented a silver sword award to the best
cadet award winner Cadet Thet Naing Soe.
At the passing out parade, the Senior General delivered a
speech. He said: Junior leaders who are going to serve in the Tatmadaw must be
capable of building their units to be fully equipped with the three essential
capabilities. They should also be able to face and overcome any challenges or
difficulties while ensuring that their unit is structured to work together in
unity and cooperation.
Tatmadaw members have to adopt the mindset of “the people are
the mother, the people are the father” while organizing and coordinating their
duties. They are urged to carry out activities that benefit the people with
sincerity and goodwill in each respective area.
The current period also sees Tatmadaw firmly advancing on the
path toward a genuinely disciplined multiparty democratic system that the
people desire and is carrying out the responsibilities of the state in
accordance with the 2008 Constitution, with the goal of establishing a Union
based on democracy and a federal system.
At present, some ethnic armed organizations that are
unwilling to abandon the armed struggle are collaborating with terrorist groups
under the names of NUG, CRPH, and PDF. They are using political issues as a
pretext to carry out unlawful and violent armed actions, aiming to instil fear
among the people and expand their controlled territories.
The armed terrorists following a path of violence are
striving for territorial power rather than achieving durable peace and
participating in a multiparty democratic path alongside the Union.
Especially, as terrorists continue to intimidate, threaten,
and exert pressure on peaceful and law-abiding citizens as well as government
employees, the number of terrorist attacks across the country has increased. As
a result, the lives, homes, property, and public infrastructure of people who
wish to live in peace and stability are being severely damaged and lost.
The entire people, who desire stability and peace, support
the legitimate military operations being carried out. Likewise, the people, the
government, and the Tatmadaw must work together with unity and determination to
eliminate insurgents and combat terrorism. Tatmadaw will continue to engage in
just military operations, collaborating with residents who desire peace and
stability, in response to the unlawful violent actions of armed terrorist
groups and their territorial expansion efforts.
The junior officers have to carry out their responsibilities
in collaboration with the people, ensuring that no acts of terrorism in
violence or armed conflict occur within the assigned operational areas.
Furthermore, it is necessary to work towards ensuring the successful conduct of
free and fair elections and to protect the right of eligible voters to cast
their votes without any loss of voting rights.
In the contemporary era, with the rapid development of news,
technology, and communication network systems, opposing individuals and
organizations are utilizing social networks to undermine the military’s
political integrity, erode public trust, and carry out attacks that distort
public opinion.
Such attacks and the absence of clear communication can
severely affect not only the military but also the unity of the entire nation.
Therefore, it is essential that all citizens, including the sons of our
military, approach these matters with awareness and careful consideration.
After taking the salute of the cadet companies, the Senior
General left the parade ground.
Also present at the parade were Commander-in-Chief (Navy)
Admiral Zeya Kyaw Htin Htein Win, Commander-in-Chief (Air) Zeya Kyaw Htin Sithu
Tun Aung, senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief,
union-level dignitaries, the chief minister of Shan State, military command
commanders, and officials together with parents and relatives of cadets.
After the ceremony, the Senior General met the best cadet
award winner Cadet Thet Naing Soe, excellent award winner in training Cadet Nay
Thway, excellent award winner in shooting Cadet Aung Lwin Htay and excellent
award winner in strength Cadet San Zaw Oo and their parents and relatives.
At the meeting, the Senior General said that it is important
for those outstanding cadets to strive to become good Tatmadaw officers who are
proud of our families and trusted by the nation and the Tatmadaw. They have to
continue efforts to sustain their capability and focus on the development of
their lives.
