THE government protects the rights of its citizens in accord­ance with the Constitution, and the citizens also have a duty to serve the State’s responsi­bilities. The citizens who wish to dutifully serve these duties attend people’s military service training courses and are then assigned to various regiments and units, where they proudly perform national defence and security duties.

Among those serving du­ties, a completion certificate handover ceremony for those who have finished their desig­nated military service period for a one-third reduction of ser­vice time was held yesterday afternoon at the Ayechanphyo Hall of the Southern Command Headquarters. Commander Maj-Gen Kyi Thike and rele­vant officials, and those who completed the duties, attended the event.

The commander made a speech and presented the cer­tificates to those who complet­ed service duties.

The officials will continue coordinating with the domes­tic and overseas employment committees to assist those who dutifully served in people’s mil­itary service in securing jobs and assigning them to their preferred occupations in ac­cordance with the prescribed criteria. — MNA/KTZH
