( 2 ) Preservation of fine traditions weakens in observing Thingyan
Government does not accept any situation which will lead to tarnishing
Myanmar traditions and culture and mode of dress
Measures required to be taken to avoid restricting youth's happiness
 
Yangon, 5 March - A meeting to discuss observance of the 1363 ME Maha Thingyan Festival was held at the Office of the Commander-in-Chief (Army) this afternoon, with an address by Secretary-1 of the State Peace and Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt.
Secretary-1 Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt said Thingyan festivals have been held in accord with the fine Myanmar traditions since the government has assumed the duties of State.
But weakness was found in preserving the good traditions in observing the festival since one or two years ago. Especially the outlandish style of dress and rowdy acts of some
revelers were against the Myanmar culture.
The Myanmar traditions and culture have existed under the influence of the teachings of Theravada Buddhism.
Thus, Myanmars have cherished and preserved their traditions and culture which are gentle and of high standard. It is one of the significant characteristics of the Myanmar people.
Myanmars are matchless in preserving their traditions and culture and the mode of dress.
The government will not accept occurrence of any situation resulting from penetration of alien cultures and improper means of some businessmen in seeking self-interests as it will lead to tarnishing the Myanma traditions and culture and the mode of dress.
Thus, all the Myanmar people will have to collectively safeguard the traditions and culture, which have been preserved and protected since yore, in all seriousness.
All the officials have the duty to check all indecent acts and immodest mode of dress of the
revelers to be able to observe the Thingyan in a disciplined way and as a festival which upholds and preserves the traditions and culture. The nation wishes to see all the youths freely taking part in the water festival in full happiness.
It is required for all to guard against immodest mode of dress and rude manners that will do harm to community peace to be able to observe the festival in accord with the traditions and culture and in a civilized way.
Moreover, youth should be organized and educated to control themselves with common sense so that there should be no need to take tough measures that may lead to restricting their happiness.
Social organizations and the artistes associations will have to launch educative programmes of their own from their respective sectors.
The Panel of Patrons to observe the 1363 ME Maha Thingyan Festival, Discipline Enforcement Committee and the Committee to Preserve Traditions and Culture and to Present Prizes were formed and assigned duties.
Chairman of Discipline Enforcement Committee Chairman of Yangon Division Peace and Development Council Commander of Yangon Command Brig-Gen Myint Swe and Chairman of Committee to Preserve Traditions and Culture and to Present Prizes Chairman of Yangon City Development Committee Yangon Mayor U Ko Lay explained arrangements being made to observe the water festival. The participants then presented suggestions.
The meeting ended with concluding remarks by Secretary-1 Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt.
Also present at the meeting were ministers, the Vice-Mayor, the deputy commander of Yangon Command, the military region commanders, the chairmen of District Peace and Development Councils, officials of the State Peace and Development Council Office, heads of department, the YCDC secretary and members, the secretary of Yangon Division Union Solidarity and Development Association, the chairmen and officials of Myanmar Red Cross Society, Myanmar Thabin Asiayon, Myanmar Music Asiayon and Myanmar Motion

But, the national races could not fully enjoy the friuts of independence as armed insurgency broke out soon after regaining the independence resulting from the dissensions created by the colonialists throughout the many years of colonial rule.
This being so, the government was making efforts for the national unity to ensure prevalence of peace and tranquillity
in the nation while taking the State duties. As soon as peace and
stability has been restored, the government has spent a large amount
of money in making efforts to develop the border areas and national
races residing there. So, rapid development has been achieved in
Northern, Southern and Eastern regions of Shan State and modern
major towns emerged in the border areas.
While the whole region of Shan State is developing, they arrived there to ensure the tasks for development of whole Loilem District including Panglong where the Union was born, under the guidance of Head of the State Senior General Than Shwe.
As priority will be given to the development of human resources that play a crucial part for Loilem District development, arrangement has been made for construction of a university and two colleges in Panglong region.
It is the basic need to nature and bring about human resources in developing a region or a nation. Hence, 144 universities and colleges have been built throughout the country during the time of the Tatmadaw Government. Those infrastructures were built on self-reliant basis while there were sanctions posed by the foreign countries.
Such achievements in getting good foundations in developing the entire Union are, in fact, the results of the relentless endeavours of responsible personnel headed by Head of State Senior General Than Shwe and the collective participation of the national people. At present, multimedia classrooms have emerged at Basic Education High Schools in Namhsan, Panglong and Loilem in Loilem District as a result of public participation.
In conclusion, the Secretary-1 urged all the national people in Loilem District to accelerate the momentum of success so far achieved as well as to participate in implementing the human resources development tasks of the Government.
