(1) Immigration and
Population personnel issuing national registration cards need to be
honest and upright
Secretary-1
meets staff of Ministry of Immigration and Population
YANGON, 26 July-Secretary-1 of the State Peace
and Development Council Lt-Gen. Khin Nyunt met with the staff of the
Ministry of Immigration and Population and gave instructions at the
meeting hall of the Population Department on Maha Bandoola Street
this afternoon.
Also present were ministers, Minister for
Immigration and Population U Saw Tun, the Chief Justice, Deputy
Minister for Immigration and Population U Maung Aung, officials of
the Office of the State Peace and Development Council, departmental
personnel of departments under the ministry, advisers, departmental
heads and officials. Director-General of the Immigration and
National Registration Department Col Maung Htay reported on the
set-up and strength of the staff, functions and objectives of the
department and matters related to national registration and
immigration control. Then, Director-General of the Population
Department Col Tin Yee reported on the set-up, strength and
functions of the department, the number of the staff who had
completed training courses at home and abroad, successful
implementation of objectives of the ministry, aims and future tasks.
Secretary-1 Lt-Gen. Khin Nyunt said that
departmental heads of the Ministry of Immigration and Population who
are discharging tasks related to the collecting of demographic data,
immigration control and citizenship scrutiny are required to adopt
the attitude that the successful performance of their duty means the
safeguarding and promoting of interests of the country and people.
For a nation to stand tall among the nations of the world,
territorial integrity and national sovereignty are required.
Moreover, it is an international practice that each and every
country grants citizenship to those living in that country after
careful and systematic scrutinization and checks the arrivals and
departures of foreigners at the entrances and exits at the borders.
Therefore, carrying out the main duties of the
Ministry of Immigration and Population means safeguarding national
sovereignty and national interests to enable the Union to stand tall
among the nations of the world perpetually. When the Union of
Myanmar was under servitude, it was regarded just as part of another
colony. Therefore, it lost national sovereignty and integrity and
the colonialists allowed a limitless number of aliens to enter the
country. As the Union of Myanmar has a moderate climate and is rich
in natural resources, it is a country so much pleasant and
desirable. Moreover, it has a population proportionate to its area.
Therefore, it has an environment for the development of the Union
and the people residing in it. The fine tradition of Myanmar people
protecting the Union and their own races since the time of Myanmar
kings in Bagan period has been recorded in history. To uphold this
fine tradition, it is important for the ministry to accurately
record the population statistics based on citizenship, race and
religion.
The demographic data collected by the ministry
have proved that all the national races are residing in unity in
each state and division. Therefore, national registration cards
issued by the ministry in accord with the law are a symbol of pride
for those who have national spirit; as careful issue of national
registration cards the task full of national essence is a measure
taken to safeguard one's own race, it is necessary for those who are
performing this duty to be honest and upright. Issuing registration
cards to those who are not qualified to be a citizen is tantamount
to ruining one's own race and betraying the national cause.
Similarly, withholding the issue of registration cards to those who
deserve to be citizens is a grave offence since they lose the
opportunity to become citizens. It is also crucial to supervise the
issuing of household lists at different levels without malpractice.
Likewise, issuing the national registration cards
in accord with the law to citizens and foreigners and scrutinising
the citizenship are important for those concerned and the nation.
Due to aliens who were left as evil legacy in the Union of Myanmar
after the regaining of independence, armed revolts which broke out
at the border, weakness in immigration control at border areas, the
malpractice of employees who undertook national scrutinizing tasks
throughout successive eras and their failure to perform duty and
laxity of discipline, there have been a lot of difficulties in
carrying out national scrutinizing tasks. Therefore, at a time when
the nation has achieved stability, peace and tranquillity and
development, all are required to feel it a national duty to record
demographic data of the population of the State for the long-term
benefits of the present and the future of the nation.
In addition, international airports and sea ports
have increased in number in the State, and due to development of
border trade and tourism industry, the number of entrances and exits
of the State has been increased. As there is an increase in the
number of entrances and exits, the duty of the Immigration of
National Registration Department, which is responsible for the
control of arrival and departure of foreigners and their stay in the
nation, has become greater and wider.
Therefore, all are required to make sure that the
arrival and departure of foreigners are in accord with the law and
are to be controlled systematically, correctly and exactly. At the
same time, measures are to be taken to make sure that there are no
unnecessary delays and repeated scrutinization, red-tape system and
malpractice.
In exposing persons who enter the nation
illegally and taking action against them, from 1999 to date,
there were about 500 foreigners who entered the nation illegally,
and there are also many citizens
countable by the thousand who enter the nation illegally every year.
It is likely that there are other routes and ways through which some
people have entered the nation, so systematic measures and effective
action are to be taken.
As the task for control of illegal entry and
departure at the entrances and exits of the State is related to
national causes, the role of departments and organizations which are
to carry out it is of paramount importance. Therefore, the border
area inspection and control committee has been formed with
departments concerned to prevent illegal entry and departure of
people at border areas, smuggling of animals, animal products and
other commodities which are banned from time to time and to control
the entry and departure of people, commodities and traffic.
Immigration officers who are on these committees
are required to cooperate with those from other departments
concerned without discriminating duty. It is learnt that the
Immigration and National Registration Department is making
arrangements to set up a computer network covering Yangon
International Airport, Mandalay International Airport, Yangon Port
and 17 border entrances in order to be able to carry out
registration and scrutinizing tasks concerning the departure and
entry of foreigners and citizens. It is a very good system and needs
to be implemented as soon as possible. Out of a large number of
kinds of data collected in the State, demographic data and records
of the State are vitally important.
The demographic data is of paramount importance
in drawing up plans for the development of the State, evaluating
socio-economic development, taking measures for the defence and
security of the State, using human resources beneficially and
describing economic growth with indexes. At a time when national
plans were laid down and are being implemented to enable the Union
of Myanmar to keep abreast with other nations in terms of
development, it is very important to know the strength of national
forces and to get accurate demographic data .
Therefore, the main tasks of the Population
Department to collect the number of households to get accurate and
correct demographic data, to conduct a census and enumerate the
population of each region in the nation which contribute to
implementation of socio-economic plans and security of the nation,
to assess local and foreign demographic facts to lay down the
population policy of the State designed for improvement of living
standard of the entire national people are playing an important
role, and it is necessary to carry out these tasks systematically.
So, arrangements are to be made to employ modern
systems and technology, electronic devices and computer network
systems in enumerating the population in keeping with the time and
collecting socio-economic indexes. It is necessary to lay down
long-term plans and make arrangements for nurturing the new
generation to be well-versed in information technology, computer
technology, statistics and demography. Moreover, more and more
efforts are to be exerted for developing human resources who are
familiar with legal affairs, consular affairs and international
relations. As the duties and responsibilities of the Ministry of
Immigration and Population are related to the affairs of the State
and directly linked with the people, all the employees are required
to be dutiful, to perform duty according to the law, to have
patriotism and clear outlook, to have social graces, to be free from
malpractice and to have high morals.
Therefore, emphasis is to be placed on promoting
their morals. Today the Union of Myanmar is striving to further
strengthen the relations with other nations and to perform the
duties and responsibilities of a member of the world family. So, the
Ministry of Immigration and Population is required to promote
relations with such international organizations as UNFPA, UNHCR and
ASEAN population organizations. At the same time, it is required to
promote national interests. Likewise, the ministry is required to
cooperate with other ministries and organizations in order to be
able to carry out such tasks as immigration control and collection
of demographic data and indexes.
In conclusion, the Secretary-1 called on all
those present to carry out their duty with nationalism and clear
national outlook to make sure that the entry and departure of
citizens and foreigners and the stay of foreigners in the nation are
in accord with the law, to perform immigration control tasks with
patriotism for the benefits of national defence and security and
national economy, to collect and record demographic data and
indexes, as a national task, so as to ensure the successful
implementation of national plans, improve socio-economy and
effectively take measures for national defence and security and to
strive for the perpetual existence of the Union of Myanmar and
Myanmar people. After the meeting, the Secretary-1 inspected
computerized tasks of INRD and computerized work of PD on the
setting of a census questionnaire and enumeration of demographic
data from each state and division.
