Non-profitable industries may be halted after reviews
The industries which cannot bring profit for the State may be halted through reviews and State-owned industries must be cost-effective.

SENIOR General Min Aung Hlaing pointed out that only when productivity rises and supply and demand are in balance will authorities be able to manage commodity prices. Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing yesterday afternoon said so at the Union government meeting at the meeting hall of the Office of the SAC Chairman in Nay Pyi Taw.
Speaking on the occasion, the Senior General underscored that producers and business owners are urged to sell these basic commodities at reasonable and fair profit margins. He said that the industries which cannot bring profit for the State may be halted through reviews and State-owned industries must be cost-effective.
He emphasized that only when productivity rises and supply and demand are in balance will authorities be able to manage commodity prices. The Senior General added that by selling larger quantities with smaller profit margins, they can help alleviate the financial burden on the public and contribute to their welfare measures.
The Senior General underlined that it is also important to maintain a balance between national income and expenditure. To achieve this, production must be increased without fail to enable greater exports. He highlighted that employment opportunities should be created, and incentives should be provided to boost manufacturing industries to further increase production.
With regard to the employment opportunities, the Senior General stressed that deserved jobs, salaries and wages must be created for the people. Regions and states have to create employment opportunities to develop these regions, he added. He highlighted that if new projects are beneficial for the country, the government will allow them but the projects must be implemented on schedule.
But, these projects must be completed during the tenure of the government. He went on to say that everybody must participate in
initiatives to ensure food security. If all regions and states have food security, there is no reason to raise commodity prices.
The Senior General stressed the operation of bamboo and bamboo-based industries, rubber industries and expanded sown acreage of onion to export surplus to foreign markets. In the education sector, the Senior General disclosed that teachers must be qualified in teaching skills as they are early teachers of students from primary and middle schools. The government has a plan to establish more polytechnic universities in regions and states.
He instructed that all regions and states have to create green zone areas for the greening of the environment. Relevant administrators need to supervise growing trees along both sides of roads and conserve them.
Officials need to supervise road areas and railway areas strictly. Union ministers, the Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman and chief ministers of regions and states reported on education, health, agriculture and production measures, and respective sectors.
Also present were SAC Vice Chairman Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win, union ministers, union-level dignitaries and officials, together with the Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman, chief ministers from regions and states through video conferencing. — MNA/TTA

Chairman of the State Adminis­tration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said so at the meeting of the SAC at the SAC Chair­man Office in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning.

During the visit to China to attend the GMS Summit and other summits in Kunming, the Senior General recounted that he held talks with Premier Mr Li Qiang of the People’s Republic of China, held talks with Politburo member of the Communist Party of China Secretary of Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Mr Yuan Jiajun and Central Committee member of CPC Secretary of Yunnan  Provincial Party Committee Mr Wang Ning and Prime Ministers from the GMS countries, respectively.

At the meetings, he explained the progress of Myanmar, the undertakings of the country, bilateral cooperation with the relevant countries, and the support of friendly countries to Myanmar in the international landscape. 

It was noted that Premier Mr Li Qiang of the People’s Re­public of China held a specific meeting with the Myanmar Prime Minister among other prime ministers bound for the GMS summit. At the meeting, the Senior General explained the progress of Myanmar wide­ly. At the meeting, important discussions of the Chinese Pre­mier were: China always sup­ports the endeavours of the My­anmar government in internal peace processes. China actively supports the implementation of the Five-Point Roadmap of the State Administration Council as well as encourages more efforts of Myanmar to initiate political stability of the country and po­litical reform process. China reaffirmed the sovereignty of Myanmar and its territorial integrity. China encourages the Myanmar government to manage China-Myanmar bor­der trade posts. China wishes harmonized development of Myanmar through cooperation. These talks are the clear stand­ing of China for Myanmar’s sov­ereignty and the endeavours of the Myanmar government. 

At the meeting, the Chinese Premier pledged to provide nec­essary aid for the election and enumeration of population and household census process. 

The Senior General re­counted that he held meetings with Politburo member of the Communist Party of China Sec­retary of Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Mr Yuan Ji­ajun and Central Committee member of CPC Secretary of Yunnan Provincial Party Com­mittee Mr Wang Ning. They also pledged to cooperate with My­anmar for development, peace and stability fully. These meet­ings brought positive results. It can be seen that their talks specifically emphasized Myan­mar affairs. 

At the separate meetings with Prime Ministers from four Southeast Asian countries at­tending the GMS summit, the Senior General continued to explain serving the State re­sponsibilities by the State Ad­ministration Council under the Constitution (2008) due to voting frauds in the 2020 mul­tiparty democratic general election, preparations to hold a free and fair multiparty dem­ocratic general election and plans to invite international observation teams to analyze the election as a transparent election. Those Prime Ministers held discussions supporting the Myanmar. The trip to China was successful as the Senior Gener­al could discuss the promotion of China-Myanmar economic cooperation and sending more scholarship students to China to ensure the development of human resources. 

The Senior General pledged that State responsibil­ities will be handed over under the democratic standards to the winning party in the free and fair multiparty democratic general election in accordance with the 2008 Constitution. 

He emphasized that the government is striving for se­curity measures. All measures are being taken in accord with the NCA as much as possible. The government, EAOs and political parties have agreed to continue their discussions at the Hluttaw. 

He noted that political parties are allowed to register under the law. Larger number of representatives of national races need to join the political platform in order to demand needs of regions and their na­tional races under the law. 

The Senior General stressed that a PR system is being initiated for state and regional, and Amyotha Hlut­taws for wider participation of national races and all strata of people in the Hluttaw. 

He underscored that those who committed voting fraud not only in relevant constituencies but in the whole region in the 2020 election. Bago Region saw the worst voting fraud in the election. As those unscrupulous persons committed voting fraud in the entire region or state, the voting fraud in the election worsened unprecedently. 

He pointed out that those who were responsible for the voting fraud were CEC mem­bers from the NLD party. They represented the party. As they committed voting fraud in groups, it is necessary to pre­vent the occurrence of such incidents. 

The Senior General ex­plained that those who create conflicts are the people from the relevant region and the country. In the same way, they also in­itiate the development, peace and stability of their own region. Hence, council members have to join hands with residents in lessening terror acts of armed groups from relevant regions to ensure peace and stability for the region and its residents. 

With regard to disasters, the Senior General highlight­ed that destructive acts of hu­mans caused tremandous loss and damage to roads, bridges, schools and buildings. Terror­ists without rationality naughtly destroy buildings, roads and bridges essential for the devel­opment of the State. As these losses and damage are being repaired and reconstructed, development undertakings of the State cannot be carried out.

The Senior General elab­orated on committing terror acts based on external insti­gations, lesser knowledge and techniques, and lack of critical thinking. It can be seen that terror acts and evil acts occur in the region where people have the least knowledge. Hence, the government is encouraging the education sector in order to shape a developed, peaceful and stable nation in the future. Only when individuals have a school education will they have critical thinking. 

The Senior General noted that it is necessary to strive to meet the target cultivation, en­hancing double crop cultivation and expanding sown acreage in order to develop the agriculture sector. 

He stressed the need to en­courage the operation of textile, electronic products, steel and iron industries to meet the do­mestic demands. 

Council members report­ed on the desire of IDPs from Loikaw to resettle in peaceful and stable Loikaw, clarification on the implementation of the Roadmap of the State to resi­dents on trips of council mem­bers, needs to seek the solution for EAOs to renounce armed terrorism in order to reach the peace track and rehabilitation of the people in the disaster-hit regions. 

The meeting was also attended by SAC Vice-Chair­man Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win, Secretary General Aung Lin Dwe, Joint Secretary General Ye Win Oo and council members and officials. — MNA/TTA

THE 15-day enumeration of nationwide population and household census commenced yesterday, and it will end on 15 October.

The enumerators led by Union Minister for Immigration and Population U Myint Kyaing collected census data of State Administration Council Chairman Prime Minister Senior-General Min Aung Hlaing at the Tatmadaw Guesthouse in the office of Commander-in-Chief (Army) at noon yesterday.

The Senior General altogether provided the needed data.

Similarly, the enumerators conduct census collection on the families of SAC

Vice-Chairman Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win, Pyithu Hluttaw Speaker U T Khun Myat, SAC Secretary General Aung Lin Dwe, Joint Secretary General Ye Win Oo and SAC Member General Maung Maung Aye at their respective houses.

Every country takes a national census every ten years as it has to set policies and projects to ensure proportionate development in social, economic, and management sectors, depending on the population received from the census.

The data from the census-collecting process is concerned not only with the government and ministries but also with each and every citizen of the country as they are the focal information for political, economic, social, defence and public affairs management sectors. The Ministry of Immigration and Population is leading the enumeration process of the population and household census, and it can be done successfully with public participation.

The 2024 enumeration process of the population and household census is being conducted to collect accurate population and socioeconomic data in time, adopt policies, projects, strategies and tactics for social, economic and management measures by conducting research on population and socioeconomic changes between 2014 and 2024, compile the necessary index in implementing the Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan (MSDP) and develop the national statistic system to contribute the national strategy. Although there were 41 questions in the 2014 census, there were 68 questions in 2024, adding 27 new questions to receive more precise data. Some of the examples of additional data questions are the main reasons for not joining school in the education sector and waste system or sanitation system for household data. These questions are practical facts for the government to consider in order to fulfil the needs of the people in the education, health, and social sectors. The census team will collect data at homes from 7 am to 6 pm, and they will inform the date in advance. The census-taking process is not concerned with whether the people have a household census form 66/6 or from 10, CSC, or whether they are ethnic people or citizens. However, all the data of the people in Myanmar territory will be enumerated within the census reference timeframe except for those who are not included. Moreover, the tax will not be levied, and action will not be taken against the possessions based on the census. There is no need to worry about the family members residing abroad as there is no occasion to take action. —MNA/KTZH
