Government creates
opportunities for construction entrepreneurs to participate in nation-building and urban
development tasks
Annual meeting of Myanmar
Construction Entrepreneurs Association held
 
Yangon, 28 April—The annual
meeting of Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association was held at Karaweik Hall here
this morning, with an address by Chairman of Housing Project Committee Secretary-1 of the
State Peace and Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt.
Also present were ministers,
deputy ministers, the vice-mayor, officials of the State Peace and Development Council
Office, heads of department and the chairman of Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs
Association, executives and members.
The Secretary-1 said at a time
when efforts are being made with the collective force of the entire people to enable the
Union of Myanmar to keep pace with the development of international community, emergence
of MCEA, a national force on which the State places reliance, is the success of a force
which is participating in national deve-lopment tasks.
As is known to all, he said, the
State Peace and Development Council is making endeavours with national determination after
laying down long-term plans for development of the nation and improvement of national
economic life and living standard of the people.
Urban development tasks including
housing projects play a vital role in striving for modernization and development of the
nation and enabling the people to live a peaceful, happy and healthy life.
The fact that cities and towns
which are developing and have been modernized in accord with the characteristics of a big
city manifests high prestige of the State. Therefore, the government has continuously laid
emphasis on implementation of urban development projects, he added.
On the other hand, he said, the
government has given encouragement in all seriousness for emergence of national economic
enterprises that can shape national economic life according to the economic policy of the
State. As a result, economy, production and services such as trade, banking services,
hotels and tourism industry and industrial production and construction work have
developed, he said.
He said the government has
created opportunities for active construction entrepreneurs with fresh mind to participate
in nation-building and urban development tasks and so national construction work has been
picking up.
It was no mean feat that
high-rise buildings, modern housing estates, business centres, modern departmental stores,
five-star hotels, garden cities, golf courses of international standard and amusement
parks have been built throughout the nation under the leadership of the government and
with the efforts of national construction entrepreneurs.
With the development of
construction work with added momentum, successful construction entrepreneurs have
participated in nation-building tasks, education, health, social sectors and tasks for
promotion and propagation of the Sasana in response to the government’s cetena. It is
satisfactory to note that a good practice of mutual reliance between the government and
construction entrepreneurs has emerged, he said.
The government has formed the
national-level housing project committee in order to systematically develop construction
work and provide necessary assistance in accord with the policy of the State and it has
also given assistance and encouragement in establishing MCEA comprising efficient and
successful construction entrepreneurs as a united national force.
Although the rate of deve-lopment slowed down in 1997 as a
result of South-East Asia economic crisis, construction business and housing projects are
now beginning to pick up due to encouragement of the government, supaaervision of the
housing project committee and efforts of construction entrepreneurs. It is also found that
Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association has emerged as a united, efficient and
dynamic national force.
In accordance with its noble aims, Myanmar Construction
Entrepreneurs Association is now working to ensure construction of buildings of high
quality with the use of modern construction technology, serving as a coordinator between
the State and construction entrepreneurs and among entrepreneurs and taking measures to
establish a contact with international construction entrepreneurs associations. It is also
found that the association is working for dissemination of modern construction technology
and emergence of technicians and skilled workers in conjunction with Myanmar Engineering
Association, Myanmar Architects Association and Yangon Technological University. In
addition, it is encouraging to see that the association itself and its members are
actively taking part in nation-building tasks, education, health and social activities and
the task for the promotion and propagation of the Sasana. Particularly in the sport
sector, construction entrepreneurs are serving as presidents, vice-presidents and members
with 18 sports federations and are working for the improvement of sport standard with man,
financial and management power.
The task of which Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs
Association is proud is the construction of its new office building of international
standard. It is believed that when the new office building of the association emerges
grandly, members of the association will have more occasions to deal with one another and
will be able to serve the State and the people all the more. Today members of the
association are engaged not only in construction work but also in the various economic
sectors of the State such as agriculture, livestock breeding, fishery, mining and gems and
industrial production due to assistance and encouragement of the State. The Secretary-1
quoted Head of State Senior General Than Shwe as saying that in the economic life of the
State, it is imperative that national entrepreneurs are prosperous and successful, and the
strength of wealth of national entrepreneurs is the financial strength of the State. If
the government and entrepreneurs work and cooperate in unison, nation-building tasks will
be more successful and a modern and developed nation will have been built very soon. In
accordance with the guidance of the Head of State, the government is making the role of
the State sector smaller and smaller and giving encouragement to the private sector.
The economic, commercial and industrial tasks as well as
services which the government undertook previously have been handed over to national
entrepreneurs. Now that the transport sector is being handed over gradually to national
entrepreneurs, construction entrepreneurs are undertaking the construction of airports and
runways, modern ports as well as maintenance and repairs of Union Highways. As much as
construction entrepreneurs have carried out not only construction work but also production
and commercial work and services, they will become more and more efficient and prosperous.
Therefore, it is safe to say that Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association is
becoming stronger and stronger. So Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association, which
has become stronger and more efficient and dynamic, is required to stand as a national
force on whom the State places reliance and work hard for the development of national
economy systematically on the correct path of national causes. In accordance with the
guidance of Head of State Senior General Than Shwe, all the members of Myanmar
Construction Entrepreneurs Association are required to unitedly stand under the flag of
the association and cooperate with the government in order to maintain the tradition of
cooperation of the government and national entrepreneurs in building a peaceful, modern
and developed nation. Individual construction entrepreneurs are required to work for
individual long-term interests and national interests and to do their utmost to implement
housing projects of high quality and standard and urban development projects. In
conclusion, the Secretary-1 wished that Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association
would be able to stand long and make progress, that it would be able to work for the
development of the State and progress of social life of national people and that it would
be able to carry out not only construction work but also production, agricultural,
livestock breeding and commercial work and duties of providing services, thereby further
strengthening the national economic life. Then, Chairman U Khin Shwe of Myanma
Construction Entrepreneurs Association spoke words of thanks. He said; with the momentous
development which has been experienced since 1989, the scene of the State has been
magnificent with modern buildings, wide roads and bridges and glittering pagodas and
religious buildings which shows prosperity and propagation of Sasana unlike the past.
Businesses of all sectors including construction have been
developed without losing momentum because the government has created opportunities,
encouraged and safeguarded the entrepreneurs. Although the economy of the State lost
momentum during South East Asian financial crisis in 1997, it has been got over without
any severe loss that other nations had to suffer from because of the wise guidance of the
Head of State and encouragement and support of the State. Moreover, momentum of
development could be managed to regain in a short period. The new building of the
association that will show development of production technology of construction
entrepreneurs will be finished and opened at the end of May. The construction
entrepreneurs will always follow the guidance of the State in performing tasks, he said.
Afterwards, he explained construction of new building of the association to the guests
with the use of video.
