Hindus in Myanmar collectively observed Deepawali Festival at National Theatre on Myomakyaung Street, Dagon Township, Yangon this evening, graced by Chairman of State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.
Also present together with the Senior General were his wife, Daw Kyu Kyu Hla, SAC Joint Secretary General Ye Win Oo and wife, SAC member General Nyo Saw and wife, union ministers and wives, the Yangon region chief minister, ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions in Myanmar, senior military officers from Office of Commander-in-Chief and wives, the Yangon command commander, officials of organizations, Hindu ethnic groups, Hindu cultural troupes, and honoured guests.
First, the Senior General and wife and party were welcomed by officials. Then, officials formally opened the archway of the Hindu traditional Deepawali Festival, followed by the blowing of Hindu traditional kaboos and releasing of hot balloons.
Afterwards, the Senior General and wife were welcomed by oil incense lamps. The Senior General and the Indian Ambassador to Myanmar formally opened the festival by pushing the button and posed for documentary photos together with the attendees.
The Senior General and wife and party visited the boots of Hindu associations and Hindu ethnic races in sequence.
At the second part of the ceremony, held at the Theatre Hall, the Senior General and wife and the ambassador and wife, and officials lit the Deepawali lamps. The ambassador and wife wore the Senior General and wife Mingala Shawl and Garland.
The Senior General and wife and attendees posed for group documentary photos. Master of ceremonies explained points about the Deepawali and the tradition of lighting the lamps.
The Senior General and wife and attendees enjoyed the solo dance show, Gangesha Dhamma Puja song, and lamp dance staged by the Indian Embassy in Myanmar.
Speaking on the occasion, the Senior General said that Deepawali Festival is a traditional lighting festival of Hindus, and “Deepa” means lighting and “Avali” is defined as possession.
So, the combined meaning shows actions of possession with oil lights.
Oil lighting can remove darkness and the festival means arrivals of good things leaving bad conditions as well as emergence of the anticipation. The literature defines it that “Lighting shall remove darkness”. Such a meaning is the most comprehensive for bringing good things as primary strength and power to all humans. Hence, it can believe that Hindus beautifully illuminate their temples and homes in accord with their traditions on this festival occasion with oil lights so as to gain strength for their lives.
The Deepawali celebration held this year was unlike previous years, as it was joyfully organized on a grand scale with the participation of all Hindu religious groups, social organizations, and followers in Myanmar, along with people from other faiths joining in. It is believed that this demonstrates harmony and unity among the diverse religious communities in Myanmar. The Senior General expressed his very pleasure and joy in seeing all members of the Hindu community coming together to participate, making this a remarkable milestone. All citizens of Myanmar may have differences in ethnicity or religion. However, since they have all grown up together on the same motherland, they must respect each other’s beliefs and religions.
Based on the Union spirit, they have to serve interests of Myanmar through bilaterally friendly relations. Although today’s conflicts in Myanmar were based on political conditions, these are not resolved in political ways yet. Such things depend on external instigation based on political, racism and religious affairs.
Through such instigations, terror acts are being recklessly committed within the country, implying that division among the people only leads to further conflict. Regardless of ethnicity or religion, as everybody needs to share the same land, water, and air in Myanmar, it is essential that people cultivate a love for the country and the Union spirit in order to live together peacefully. Currently, the Senior General said he is striving to implement the planned steps to guide the nation back onto the path of democracy.
Therefore, he urges everyone to work together to resolve ongoing conflicts and to soonest return to the path everybody aspires to. Although there are many differences and diversity within Myanmar, it is only by uniting and organizing these differences that everybody can create strength. To achieve such a unified strength, the Senior General said that he is leading and taking action himself.
He has also facilitated meetings between representatives of Indian and Chinese ethnic communities from Myanmar.
The needs of the organizations were inquired about and fulfilled, and responses were also provided to their feedback. In Myanmar, everybody knows that the government supports religious ceremonies of various religions in Myanmar, as well as commemorative days and events related to different ethnic groups to the fullest extent possible.
Today, at this Deepawali Festival celebration, everybody has also seen a spirit of unity and togetherness among all attendees.
It is necessary to continue building upon this foundation with even greater strength.
Therefore, with the start of this auspicious festival of Deepawali, celebrated by the Hindu community, the Senior General made his sincere wish and message for all citizens to share mutual love, respect, understanding, and forgiveness toward one another, urging all to come together in unity to foster peace and harmony in the nation and the world.
The Senior General and the Indian Ambassador exchanged commemorative gifts.
The Indian Ambassador gave a remark, and the Chairman of the Leading Committee for Organizing the festival spoke words of thanks.
The Senior General, his wife and attendees enjoyed Hindu traditional cultural dances and songs, dances of ethnic groups and Myanmar traditional dances performed by Hindu traditional cultural troupe and the cultural troupes from the National University of Arts and Culture (Yangon).
Afterwards, the Senior General and his wife and the Indian Ambassador and his wife presented flower baskets to those troupes. After the ceremony, the Senior General and his wife, and party cordially greeted attendee Hindu ethnicities and Hindu traditional cultural troupes.
Later, the Senior General, his wife and attendees had the dinner in commemoration of the Deepawali Festival together.

COLUMBIA researchers developed probiotic bacteria that train the immune system to eliminate cancer cells, paving the way for a new class of cancer vaccinations that take advantage of bacteria’s innate tumour-targeting abilities.
COLUMBIA researchers developed probiotic bacteria that train the immune system to eliminate cancer cells, paving the way for a new class of cancer vaccinations that take advantage of bacteria’s innate tumour-targeting abilities.
These microbial cancer vaccines can be tailored to each person’s specific original tumour and metastases, perhaps preventing future recurrences. In mice models of advanced colorectal cancer and melanoma, the bacterial vaccine stimulated the immune system, causing primary and metastatic malignancies to shrink or in many cases disappear entirely. All while leaving healthy body parts alone.
The findings were published in Nature. Researchers at Columbia University have developed a novel bacterial vaccine that demonstrates greater efficacy than peptide based therapeutic cancer vaccines used in prior clinical trials. This innovative approach effectively activates the entire immune system, promoting a robust antitumor response, especially in challenging advanced solid tumor models.
The personalized vaccine targets unique genetic mutations specific to each tumor, utilizing genetically engineered E. coli bacteria to produce neoantigens proteins that mark cancer cells for immune system attack.
Columbia researchers created a probiotic-based cancer vaccine that trains the immune system to target and eliminate tumors, showing promising results in mice models for advanced cancers. The idea of using bacteria in cancer treatment dates back to the late 19th century when Dr. William Coley observed tumor regression in patients injected with bacteria.
Modern research has revealed that some bacteria can naturally migrate to tumors, thriving in low-oxygen environments and eliciting immune responses. However, these natural interactions often lack the precision needed to effectively target and destroy tumors.
The new bacterial vaccine begins with a probiotic strain of E. coli, which researchers have genetically modified to enhance its interaction with the immune system.

Each year, following the Thadingyut Full Moon Day, hot-air balloon companies provide these services, with the fare set at around K600,000 per person.
However, the tourism season in 2021 was suspended due to the global pandemic. In 2022, with resumption of tourism activities, both domestic and international visitors returned to Myanmar’s top destinations, including the beaches, pagodas, and temples.
Bagan saw an increase in tourist arrival numbers during the 2023 Thadingyut Festival, and the balloon rides proved particularly popular again during the 2024 festival.
Balloon operators offer convenient services, picking up passengers from their hotels and serving refreshments like coffee, tea, cookies, and snacks before the flight. The hot-air balloon ride lasts from 45 minutes to an hour. Upon landing, passengers are treated to cold drinks, wine, and banana cake and other snacks before being transported back to their hotels.
Balloons usually launch from Bagan Amazing Golf Club and the hotel zone, making the ride a favourite among both foreign and local tourists, particularly those from Asian countries.
There are currently four hot-air balloon companies providing these services in Bagan, operating from October (starting with the Thadingyut festival) until the first week of April. Additionally, a skydiving company started offering services from 16 October.
Tourists flying over Bagan can enjoy a stunning aerial view of the 3,822 pagodas, temples, and statues, along with the scenic Ayeyawady River, contributing to the promotion of the region’s tourism sector. — Nyein Thu (MNA)/TKO

That was Myanmar’s first international friendly of the year, and the team claimed a solid victory over Sri Lanka. It was also the debut match for new head coach U Myo Hlaing Win, who led the team to this promising start.
The Myanmar starting lineup included star players such as team captain Maung Maung Lwin, goalkeeper Pyae Phyo Thu, Nanda Kyaw, Soe Moe Kyaw, Thet Htein Soe, Hein Phyo Win, Zaw Win Thein, Kyaw Min Oo, Lwin Moe Aung, Hein Htet Aung, and Than Paing. Under the guidance of their new coach, Myanmar’s team is expected to focus more on collective team play rather than relying on individual efforts, which could improve their overall performance.
Despite missing a few key players, Sri Lanka’s team featured naturalized citizen players and key figures but struggled to find the net due to finishing issues. Lwin Moe Aung scored Myanmar’s goals in 16 minutes, and Maung Maung Lwin from a penalty in 53 minutes, which was set up by Than Paing’s relentless effort.
The second friendly between the two teams will take place at 4 pm Myanmar Standard Time on 13 October at the Thuwunna Youth Training Centre. — Ko Nyi Lay/KZL

no Fernandes' direct red card just before halftime.
Brennan Johnson scored just three minutes into the match after Micky van de Ven's run and things got worse and worse for the home side.
Fernandes was sent off for a bad challenge on James Maddison, and Spurs showed their superiority with further goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke in the second half.
Aston Villa had the chance to go second on Sunday, but they were held to a 2-2away draw to Ipswich Town, who opened the scoring through Liam Delap's near post show after just eight minutes.
Aston Villa responded quickly with Morgan Rogers levelling after 15 minutes
as Ipswich failed to clear, and they took the lead just after the half hour when
Leon Bailey's cross was nodded in by Ollie Watkins.
Ipswich responded well after the break and got their reward in the 72nd minute when Delap netted a brilliant in dividual goal to save a point for his team.
