“It is still underway. We need to seek approval for some requirements. The process is very strict so we need to ensure making our proposal more complete,” he said. Power Eleven Company is willing to test EV buses in YBS service so that weaknesses and advantages can be identified, and current buses are old, he said.
“We can identify weaknesses and advantages if we test it now. We will use EV buses in YBS services. It is very expensive and no one will consider trying it. But we won’t give up. It is less possible but we need to acquire feasibility. The problem is the project is very expensive so it might be difficult to ensure cost-effective. But we have planned to run on a trial so that we can identify its feasibility. It was not easy to run air-conditioned buses last seven or eight years, but we acquired feasibility to implement but lost as expected. However, we will have to try again after making calculations based on the data we acquired. It is impossible to do public transport like a commercial business,” he said.

Chairman of the State Administration Council Commander in-Chief of defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing met with officers, other ranks and families of Thanlyin Station in Yangon Command and delivered an address to them at the hall of the local command headquarters this afternoon.
Chairman of the State Administration Council Commander in-Chief of defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing met with officers, other ranks and families of Thanlyin Station in Yangon Command and delivered an address to them at the hall of the local command headquarters this afternoon.
Present at the meeting together with the Senior General were Commander-in-Chief (Navy) Admiral Htein Win, Commander in-Chief (Air) General Tun Aung, senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in- Chief of Defence Services, the commander of Yangon Command, officers, other ranks and families of Thanlyin Command.
The Senior General delivered an address at the meeting, explaining the political developments and changing administrative systems of the country, tasks implemented by the Tatmadaw to adopt the multiparty democracy system aspired by the entire people, voting irregularities in the 2020 election, attempts to control the state power illegally without settling election disputes, assumption of the state power by declaration of the state of emergency by the Tatmadaw in accordance with the constitution (2008) and action taken against acts of terrorism in the country by security forces.
Then, the Senior General continued to say that the main duty of the Tatmadaw is national defence and personnel are required to perform duties anywhere out of military and security awareness and consciousness and apply military tactics taught at training schools in the practical field.
To apply military tactics in the practical field, it is necessary to practice them constantly and to be fit and healthy for respective age groups. In connection with national defence, duties must be performed bravely and the spirit of bravery and willingness to perform duties must be cultivated. One must be able to use one's weapons skillfully.
As personnel join the Tatmadaw out of their own volition to perform defence and security duties of the country without being urged to do so, it is necessary to appreciate the life of a soldier. It is necessary to be proud of the life of soldiers who are performing noble duties of the country and people and duties assigned to personnel must be performed responsibly.
The population of the country is about 52 million including 47 percent of males and 53 percent of females. As only a few of them can serve in the Tatmadaw and perform noble duties of national defence and security, one must appreciate the life of soldiers, which most people cannot undergo, and one must be proud of oneself.
To perform national defence and security duties, individual personnel are required to do exercises for fitness and performing duties of each individual properly amounts to doing exercises.
It is necessary to supervise individuals and teams to ensure that they do their daily, weekly and monthly fitness exercises properly. In connection with training, one must always study changing military tactics without losing sight of them in accordance with the motto "Study, Practice and Follow up," and one must always practice military tactics one has learnt so that they can be applied more skillfully. As one will lag behind others in any tasks assigned to him without studying , it is necessary to study and exert effort constantly for the development of individuals and one's own organization. In connection with training, one must be able to lead the life of a genuine soldier in accordance with the saying "the more you sweat, the less you bleed," for the development of qualities of individuals and the organization.
In administrative affairs, a unified and fair administrative model must be adopted and tasks must be carried out by understanding the nature of humans.
The spine of the Tatmadaw is discipline and discipline means urging people to do what they should and prohibiting them from doing what they should not. As morale will be high If individual personnel observe military discipline and administrative support is provided to them, emphasis must be placed on a unified and fair administrative model.
For the welfare of personnel, administrative affairs are closely related to welfare and a good administrative model can contribute to welfare. If administrative affairs and welfare are strong, morale will be high spontaneously. The Tatmadaw has been providing rights and benefits appropriate to the ranks of all personnel. Welfare tasks must be implemented by ensuring that one must enjoy benefits that one should. It is necessary to help solve personal difficulties and hardships of personnel. Individual personnel are urged to take care of themselves by abstaining from alcoholic drinks, inappropriate pleasure and unhealthy food. Welfare can be ensured if expenditure and income is proportionate.
One must be able to distinguish between useful expenditure and wasteful spending. The Tatmadaw has been encouraging agriculture and livestock breed tasks owned by units and by personnel. The agriculture and livestock breeding tasks are carried out not for profits but for enabling families of personnel to consume meat, fish and vegetables at cheaper prices in the outside markets.
Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the welfare of each family and the unit by successfully carrying out agriculture and livestock breeding tasks. Welfare of surrounding areas can be ensured by selling surplus agriculture and livestock products to local staff and residents at reasonable prices.
Battalion building tasks such as training, administration, welfare and morale are interconnected and each personnel is responsible for nurturing good morale. Re-sponsible officers are required to help nurture high morale in personnel by carrying out training, administrative and welfare tasks. Good morale can be nurtured by organizing sport events and occasional funfairs and fulfilling their needs.
As it is necessary to read books without fail for the development of personality of individual personnel, all personnel are required to seek knowledge by reading. Personnel are urged to use the knowledge gained by reading books and taking note in the practical field beneficially.
It is also a good habit to share one's knowledge with others. As the saying goes "One can survive for only one morning without water; one can survive only seven days without food," one will face difficulties in one's entire life if one is illiterate. In conclusion, the Senior General urged personnel to read books.
Then, the Senior General presented foodstuff and sport equipment for officers, other ranks and families of the station to responsible officers. After the meeting, the Senior General and party cordially greeted the officers, other ranks and families who attended the meeting.

Chairman of State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, accompanied by Commander- in-Chief (Air) General Tun Aung, senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in- Chief, the Nay Pyi Taw Command commander and officials, inspected local training depot and Tatmadaw TV Broadcasting Unit (Taungnyo) in Taungnyo Station, Nay Pyi Taw Command HQ, this morning.
Chairman of State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, accompanied by Commander- in-Chief (Air) General Tun Aung, senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in- Chief, the Nay Pyi Taw Command commander and officials, inspected local training depot and Tatmadaw TV Broadcasting Unit (Taungnyo) in Taungnyo Station, Nay Pyi Taw Command HQ, this morning.
At the meeting hall of the local training depot, the commandant reported on brief history, ongoing courses, farming activities, and welfare activities of the depot.
In response, the Senior General said the depot should apply means for the trainees to truly understand the theorical lessons and skillfully follow the training lessons. The results of fitness trainings should meet age-wise requirements. Constant research should be conducted on ever changing military strategies, weapons and military knowledge to broaden the scope of curricular. Trainees who are competent and able to shoulder defence and security duties skillfully must be produced.
The Senior General then looked around the exhibition halls and lecture halls of the depot and looked into the requirements of officials.
The Senior General met officers, other ranks, families and trainees at training department of the depot. As regards training, he said the current era witnesses the constant advancement of military technologies and military strategies, and trainees must continuously study them in accord with the motto “study, practice, compliance.” Trainees must undergo constant practice sessions to be more skillful in the learned military methods and sciences.
Today is the age of technology. So, trainees must search and study general knowledge and related information for life improvement on the internet pages and books by applying technological skill to enhance their individual capacity. The habit of reading and learning is much helpful for efficiency. They must take lessons through evaluation and combination of their knowledge and experiences.
Administrators must systematically discharge their administrative duties in their responsible areas and must carry out welfare undertakings for the depot to the most possible degree. They must fulfil the individual rights of soldiers appropriately and look into the requirements of subordinates. Excellent military discipline, administration and support will enhance morale.
Today is an era of education, and only through education can one acquire skills. Tatmadaw is establishing educational training schools to enhance the education of its personnels. Additionally, it actively promotes the education of Tatmadaw families’ children and recognizes outstanding academic achievers.
In terms of welfare, while the Tatmadaw provides various welfare services, we can also manage our financial expenses and achieve welfare by cutting back on unnecessary spending. He emphasized the importance of distinguishing between spending and wasting to maintain a balance between income and expenditure. He also noted that welfare provisions have been made, along with the implementation of Tatmadaw-owned farming projects. It is essential for each management leader to implement this systematically, with subordinates following the same approach.
Military personnels join the forces to carry out national defense and security duties, motivated by their own commitment, without any external encouragement. Our military personnel have carried out their assigned duties with great sacrifices, serving the nation and its people. He stated that our military personnel have fulfilled their assigned duties with great sacrifices for the benefit of the country and the people. Just as officers and soldiers are diligently carrying out national defense and security duties on the front lines, their families are also living and fulfilling their responsibilities in accordance with their respective forces. He stated that he also recognizes and honors the service rendered to the nation and the people by all those responsible for national defense and security. Our country’s current population is approximately 52 million, with 47 percent male and 53 percent female. Of this population, only a small number have joined the military and are able to perform the noble duties of national defence and security. Therefore, he emphasized the need to honor and value military service, as it is a challenging responsibility that the public cannot easily undertake.It is essential to take pride in the lives of our military personnel who carry out their noble duties in service to the nation and its people, while ensuring the fulfillment of the responsibilities entrusted to them.
Discipline serves as both an encouragement to act rightly and a deterrent against wrong-doing. By adhering to the rules set forth by the military and embodying the values of a good soldier, individuals will be able to carry out their duties with a sense of pride and fulfillment within the environment they serve. With the exam period soon approaching, it is crucial to ensure that the necessary services are provided, enabling students to take their exams with peace of mind. He also emphasized the need of organizing youth-oriented courses, programs, and activities during the summer school holidays, aimed at enhancing national character and fostering greater knowledge.
Afterward, the Senior General presented food supplies to officers, other ranks, their families, and trainees from the training school, which were accepted by the Station Commander.
Following the meeting, the Senior General, along with members of his entourage, warmly greeted the attending officers, other ranks, and their families.
Subsequently, the Senior General and party visited the Tatmadaw Broadcasting Unit (Taungnyo), where they had lunch together with the officers, other ranks, and staff.
Later, at the meeting hall, the Commander of the Tatmadaw Broadcasting Unit (Taungnyo) presented an overview of the unit’s history, implementation of the directives from the Chair-man of the State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of the Defence Services, and the completion of tasks. They also provided explanations about daily domestic and international news and various educational and engaging programs being broadcasted.
The Senior General commenting on the presentations, emphasized the importance of observing and learning from the broadcasting practices of other domestic and international news agencies. He highlighted the need to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their own broadcasting and work towards improving their programs.

At the meeting hall of the local training depot, the commandant reported on brief history, ongoing courses, farming activities, and welfare activities of the depot.
In response, the Senior General said the depot should apply means for the trainees to truly understand the theorical lessons and skillfully follow the training lessons. The results of fitness trainings should meet age-wise requirements. Constant research should be conducted on ever changing military strategies, weapons and military knowledge to broaden the scope of curricular. Trainees who are competent and able to shoulder defence and security duties skillfully must be produced.
The Senior General then looked around the exhibition halls and lecture halls of the depot and looked into the requirements of officials.
The Senior General met officers, other ranks, families and trainees at training department of the depot. As regards training, he said the current era witnesses the constant advancement of military technologies and military strategies, and trainees must continuously study them in accord with the motto “study, practice, compliance.” Trainees must undergo constant practice sessions to be more skillful in the learned military methods and sciences.
Today is the age of technology. So, trainees must search and study general knowledge and related information for life improvement on the internet pages and books by applying technological skill to enhance their individual capacity. The habit of reading and learning is much helpful for efficiency. They must take lessons through evaluation and combination of their knowledge and experiences.
Administrators must systematically discharge their administrative duties in their responsible areas and must carry out welfare undertakings for the depot to the most possible degree. They must fulfil the individual rights of soldiers appropriately and look into the requirements of subordinates. Excellent military discipline, administration and support will enhance morale.
Today is an era of education, and only through education can one acquire skills. Tatmadaw is establishing educational training schools to enhance the education of its personnels. Additionally, it actively promotes the education of Tatmadaw families’ children and recognizes outstanding academic achievers.
In terms of welfare, while the Tatmadaw provides various welfare services, we can also manage our financial expenses and achieve welfare by cutting back on unnecessary spending. He emphasized the importance of distinguishing between spending and wasting to maintain a balance between income and expenditure. He also noted that welfare provisions have been made, along with the implementation of Tatmadaw-owned farming projects. It is essential for each management leader to implement this systematically, with subordinates following the same approach.
Military personnels join the forces to carry out national defense and security duties, motivated by their own commitment, without any external encouragement. Our military personnel have carried out their assigned duties with great sacrifices, serving the nation and its people. He stated that our military personnel have fulfilled their assigned duties with great sacrifices for the benefit of the country and the people. Just as officers and soldiers are diligently carrying out national defense and security duties on the front lines, their families are also living and fulfilling their responsibilities in accordance with their respective forces. He stated that he also recognizes and honors the service rendered to the nation and the people by all those responsible for national defense and security. Our country’s current population is approximately 52 million, with 47 percent male and 53 percent female. Of this population, only a small number have joined the military and are able to perform the noble duties of national defence and security. Therefore, he emphasized the need to honor and value military service, as it is a challenging responsibility that the public cannot easily undertake.It is essential to take pride in the lives of our military personnel who carry out their noble duties in service to the nation and its people, while ensuring the fulfillment of the responsibilities entrusted to them.
Discipline serves as both an encouragement to act rightly and a deterrent against wrong-doing. By adhering to the rules set forth by the military and embodying the values of a good soldier, individuals will be able to carry out their duties with a sense of pride and fulfillment within the environment they serve. With the exam period soon approaching, it is crucial to ensure that the necessary services are provided, enabling students to take their exams with peace of mind. He also emphasized the need of organizing youth-oriented courses, programs, and activities during the summer school holidays, aimed at enhancing national character and fostering greater knowledge.

Trump also struck a nationalistic tone as he capped the most extraordinary comeback in US political history, pledging to impose trade tariffs, rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, and take “back” the Panama Canal, which has been controled by the Central American country since 1999.
“The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world,” Trump said in the Capitol, where the inauguration was held indoors for the first time in decades, due to freezing weather. — AFP
