(2) Special Meeting 3/2000 of the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control was held at the Ministry of Home Affairs
Government doing continuous coordination work with national race leaders in rooting out narcotic drugs
Yangon, 13 Nov - Special Meeting 3/2000 of the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control was held at the Ministry of Home Affairs this evening with an address by Secretary-1 of the State Peace and Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt.
Also present at the meeting were member of the Commander Maj-Gen Khin Maung Than, ministers, the Chief Justice, the Attorney-General, deputy ministers, the Deputy Attorney-General, senior military officers, CCDAC members, the director-general of State Peace and Development Council Office, heads of department and members of work committees.
Secretary-1 said that Myanmar is laying down and implementing comprehensive programmes to eradicate narcotic drugs. But one-sided accusations concerning narcotic drugs against Myanmar never lessens; and some countries are hatching plots designed to discredit Myanmar among the international community.
In accord with the guidance of Head of State Senior General Than Shwe, the 15-year narcotic eradication plan has been laid down in the nation; and efforts are being made to root out narcotic drugs according to the plans. Continuous coordination work is being done with national race leaders to root out drugs. The high-level officials of the State have toured border areas and looked into the requirements of cultivating substitute crops. National race leaders are giving special attention to the progress of their regions and economic development and attempting to root out the drug problem in a designated time.
At present, the success achieved in cultivating substitute crops in border areas can be witnessed. Buckwheat and lychee cultivation, terrace paddy cultivation and herbal plant cultivation have already started at the border areas. The building of irrigation facilities in the areas is gaining momentum at present. Farming is being conducted on a commercial scale and mineral mining and smelting is under way. Due to the implementation of hydel power projects and road and bridge projects, industries are developing in the regions. It can be firmly assessed that narcotic drugs can be rooted out within the designated period as the border areas are making profress in farming, industrial production and economic sectors. He said Myanmar conducts opium yield survey yearly in cooperation with the US and the survey showed decrease of opium yield yearly. As opium cultivation and production was on the decrease, there were accusations about production of Amphetamine, he said.
There are no Amphetamine tablet users and chemicals for production. Basic raw chemicals used in production of Amphetamine tablet came from border areas and it can clearly be seen that the tablets were brought back to other side through the border areas. He spoke of the need to prevent chemicals and stimulant tablets from carrying and distributing cross borders instead of accusing only Myanmar of producing narcotic drugs. In doing so, effective measures can be undertaken in production, distribution and drug abuse in all sectors.
Today, narcotic drug problems and other trans-border crimes have increased due to development of technology. Therefore, the United Nations drafted Convention Against Transnational Organized Crimes, he said. Myanmar hosted the 4th International Heroin Conference and the 2nd ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Transnational Organized Crime in 1999. Moreover, efforts for total eradication of narcotic drug in the region are being made in cooperation with ASEAN countries, he added. He spoke of the need for Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control to accelerate its momentum of 15 year narcotic drug eradication project in cooperation with international community for success in accord with the guidance of Head of State Senior General Than Shwe.
The Secretary-1 also spoke of the need to respond one-sided accusations on narcotic drugs about Myanmar through sound and correct data, while endeavouring for eradication of narcotic drug with added momentum.
Chairman of the Central Committee for Drug Abuse Control Minister for Home Affairs Col Tin Hlaing explained matters related to measures taken for drug abuse control, participation of Myanmar Anti-Narcotic Association in the drug abuse control measures, arrangements for development of border areas made by Border Areas Development Association and cooperation with international organizations. Secretary of CCDAC Police Maj-Gen Soe Win reported on progress of work in implementing the decisions of meeting No 2/2000.
Then, those present discussed release of news about drug control measures, border area development tasks being done in connection with drug abuse control measures, treatment and rehabilitation for drug addicts, cultivation of buckwheat and distribution of strains for cultivation of paddy, tea and perennial crops. Deputy Minister for Home Affairs Brig-Gen Thura Myint Maung recounted his experiences related to the meeting on drug free ASEAN region in 2015 held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 11 to 14 October.
In conclusion, the Secretary-1 said that in accord with the guidance of the Head of State, systematic plans for elimination of narcotic drugs have been laid down and implemented in Myanmar. So ministries concerned need to actively participate in implementing these plans. It is necessary to render assistance to tasks related to cultivation of poppy-substitute crops, livestock breeding and agriculture, and regional development tasks.
(3) Government gives priority to development tasks for underdeveloped regions including border areas Taninthayi Bridge commissioned into service in Taninthayi Division
Yangon, 13 Nov - Taninthayi Bridge spanning Taninthayi River was commissioned into service at the pandal near the bridge in Taninthayi Township, Taninthayi Division, yesterday morning. Secretary-2 of the State Peace and Development Council Lt-Gen Tin Oo, ministers, deputy ministers, senior military officers and heads of department left Myeik for Taninthayi Bridge by helicopter.
Secretary-2 and party then attended the opening of the bridge. Chairman of the Central Supervisory Committee for Ensuring Secure and Smooth Transport Secretary-2 Lt-Gen Tin Oo delivered an address.
He said that Taninthayi River Bridge is over 1,300 feet long. It is designed to bear 36-ton loads. Taninthayi Division is situated in the southernmost part of the nation, and it can be reached from other states and divisions by water and by air only and in the region, reliance has to be put on waterway to travel from one place to another.
Although there are favourable conditions for fishery industry, agricultural work and mining in Taninthayi Division, the development of the region fell short of expectations, due to transport difficulties. To overcome the difficulties in transport and the tapping of natural resources, Head of State Senior General Than Shwe has given guidance; Taninthayi Division Development Committee was formed, and duties have been assigned to it.
A project to build Dawei-Myeik-Taninthayi-Bokpyin-Kawthaung Road which takes up a strategic position, was laid down and is being implemented. Dawei-Myeik Section, Myeik-Taninthayi Section and Kawthoung-Khamaukgyi Section have been asphalted. Some parts of Taninthayi-Bokpyin Section and Bokpyin-Karathuri-Khamaukgyi Section are gravel roads and others still remain as earth roads. Arrangements are being made to upgrade earth roads into gravel roads.
In building the strategic Union Highway to facilitate travelling from Kawthoung to other states and divisions through Mon State, bridges crossing rivers and creeks are also being built. Taninthayi Bridge is a major part of the project, and Pubic Works strove to complete it in one and half years' time.
Already-built other bridges are Winwa Bridge in Thayetchaung Township, and Palauk Bridge and Palaw Bridge in Palaw Township. Bridges under construction are Kywegu-Kyaukphya Bridge and Pathoung Bridge Government gives priority in Myeik Township and Layhnya Mandaing Bridge in Boakpyin Township. Arrangements are being made to build Thamoaklut Bridge in Myeik Township. The task of building 302-mile-long Myeik-Taninthayi-Boakpyin-Kawthoung Road which can be negotiable in all weathers, is of great benefit not only to the region but also to the entire Union.
Therefore, all the local national people are to take part in the task. Bearing in mind the fact that efforts are to be made to bridge development gap among states and divisions and to ensure equitable development, the government has given priority to development tasks for underdeveloped regions including border areas. Taninthayi Division had been difficult of access and had suffered armed insurgency. The rate of development had been rather slow in the region.
As much as transport infrastructures such as building new motor roads, upgrading old ones, extension of Myeik Airport and Kawthoung Airport and construction of Ye-Dawei Railroad, are being built, Taninthayi Division is developing remarkably year after year. In accord with the guidance of the Head of State, in Taninthayi Division, plans designed for development of the agriculture sector, have been made and implemented with the aims of ensuring rice and edible oil sufficiency and turning the division into " a big edible oil pot" of the State. Although local sufficiency of rice has not yet been achieved in Taninthayi Division, the amount of paddy produced in the region has increased year after year. So the percentage of rice sufficiency is becoming higher
Sixteen groups of national entrepreneurs are taking part in Oil Palm Cultivation Extension Project, getting permission for about 400,000 acres of fallow and virgin lands. Now, cultivation work has been done on about 30,000 acres. In connection with oil palm cultivation and production, industries will also emerge. Therefore, the industrial sector, together with the agricultural sector, will develop. Due to marine and land resources in Taninthayi Division, the meat and fish sector is picking up.
In Myeik region, ice factories and fish powder factories are emerging. Modern Fish Market is in course of construction. All in all, development of Taninthayi Division is gathering momentum, and it can be seen that development has been achieved in all sectors such as economy, education, health and transport.
All-round development tasks are being undertaken not only for the present interest but also for ensuring a better situation for the posterity.
In accord with the traditions, the Tatmadawmen and the people are taking part in the nation-building tasks with harmonious and utmost efforts. Due to the harmonious efforts of the State, the Tatmadaw and the people, within a short period, 114 dams and 117 bridges of over 180 feet in length have been built.
At the time developing situations are emerging in the nation, some of the foreign organizations are launching exaggerated accusations on Myanmar, saying, the nation is applying forced labour and violating human rights. Moreover, some of the big western nations are trying to isolate Myanmar by applying economic and diplomatic pressures as the nation never realizes the democracy that is in accord with their want. They are also brazenly extending mutual master-servant relations with the axe-handler group from inside the nation.
In accordance with the guidance given by Head of State Senior General Than Shwe, the democracy norms of the western nations cannot be same with those of Myanmar; thus, the nation should choose the democracy way which is in conformity with the traditions and culture and human rights norms of Myanmar.
Neglecting the own national stand and longing for the west will lead the nation to becoming a servant and a follower of the west. The nation-building tasks for proportionate development of the nation are enormous in volume and have many limits. The State and the people should strive for gaining even a single success and a firm foundation.
Only the actual unity and hard work will bring development to the region. Minister Maj-Gen Saw Tun said located on the Yangon-Mawlamyine-Ye-Dawei-Myeik-Taninthayi-Bokpyin-Kawthoung, the Taninthayi Bridge is the 117th facility whose length exceeds 180 feet. The bailey type bridge will be upgraded into a steel-reinforced facility in the future. The bridge can withstand up to 36 tons.
Commander Brig-Gen Aye Kyway said Taninthayi Division, which is rich in natural resources, is making progress, when compared to that of the past, due to the emergence of new roads and bridges in the region.
Minister Brig-Gen Lun Maung explained formation of the respective committees for progress of Taninthayi Division. Secretary-2 Lt-Gen Tin Oo presented gifts to staff of the special bridge construction group 3 of Public Works through Senior Engineer U Hla Min.
At the auspicious time, Commander Brig-Gen Aye Kyway and Minister Maj-Gen Saw Tun formally opened the bridge. The bridge 1,360 feet long and 10 feet 10 inches wide has a clearance of 15 feet and a 78 feet wide waterway under it. Afterwards, the Secretary-2 and party inspected the development undertakings in Taninthayi Township. They also inspected Taninthayi-Bokpyin Road Project.
