Nothing can be perfect in security matters and security measures involving the public can strengthen security.

Since assumption of state duties, the SAC has adopted a future road map. It has clearly announced that the ultimate aim is to hold elections and to transfer state power to the winning government. It has consistently implemented the objective to achieve success.
It can be learnt from what is happening in the country and in the international community that lack of honesty in politics leads to suffering consequences of dishonesty Police, law enforcement, administrative officials mainly responsible for public security sector In a democracy, members of the police, law enforcement officials and administrative officials can mainly maintain democracy. Administrative bodies play an important role in the security sector. Members of the police are mainly responsible for public security and required to be capable and competent ones.In training schools,
it is necessary to conduct training programs correctly and ensurethat the knowledge imparted can be practically applied in fulfilling duties. Security forces should be strong, reliable for the state, and trusted by the people. Administrative authorities should also recognize the responsibilities carried out by the police force and provide necessary administrative support and convenience. In terms of law enforcement and territorial security, members of the police force and administrative organizations should use the knowledge and skills they have been taught to perform their duties.
Those responsible for administration should ensure that basic rules and regulations, such as traffic and road safety rules, are strictly followed by the public.
Only by strictly enforcing basic rules can unwanted administrative issues be prevented.
Therefore, the maintenance of order within the city must also be given due emphasis.
District Administration Regarding district administration matters, districts have been expanded to effectively carry out administrative tasks and regional development projects.
Therefore, district administrators are required to use the authority entrusted to them efficiently and work broadly to ensure the development and stability of the townships under their jurisdiction.
They should administer the district to ensure coordination between the townships and the region, ensuring smooth administrative operations. In terms of security, district administrators are responsible for being constantly aware of the situations and changes within the townships they manage, assessing potential security risks.
They must also oversee law enforcement, ensure orderly living conditions, and maintain cleanliness and beauty within the townships.
Given that Yangon is a city with a large working population, including residents and workers from other regions, it is important to manage public spaces and transportation in an organized and regulated manner.
Moreover, as the country progresses on a multi-party democratic path, the rise of educated individuals is of paramount importance. District administrators are expected to maintain high enrollment rates in schools within their districts and ensure the growth of educated individuals.
They should also work to create employment opportunities within their districts. To achieve success in industries, agriculture, and livestock farming, systematic efforts must be made.
With the open season approaching soon, it is important to provide opportunities for individuals to engage in physical activities and group sports. It is essential to create environments where the public can participate in physical exercises safely, as physical activity leads to good health. Only through good health can one work and study effectively.
Therefore, administrative organizations in each district should do their best to create opportunities that promote both the physical and mental well-being of the public.
For those in administrative positions, it is important to strive to leave a lasting legacy in the areas where they serve.
They should aim to establish a history of governance that is recognized and respected by the public. To do so, administrators must understand and apply effective governance methods, ensuring the development of the areas under their responsibility.
Continuously studying and understanding administrative systems is key to fulfilling these duties effectively.
Regarding governance, they should regularly seek knowledge through reading various forms of literature. By immersing themselves in good books, they will not only appreciate their content but also gain insights on how to carry out their responsibilities.
Administrators must strive to bring dignity and prosperity to the townships and districts they oversee. By working honestly and diligently, they can successfully implement effective governance, fostering stability and development, said the Senior General. Then, the meeting was concluded.
